Occupations | Tends hydraulic machine that cuts stone slabs for further processing: Reads work order to determine dimensions of stone to be cut. Sets end-stops according to dimensions of desired cut, measuring distance from blade with rule, or lays out dimensions on stone, using rule, straightedge, and chalk. Starts conveyor that moves stone over blade and against stops, or directs coworkers to push stone along roller conveyor into cutting position. Depresses pedal to raise turntable of conveyor containing stone slab, and rotates slab manually to align cutting mark with blades or to straighten stone against stops. Presses button to raise blade against stone and moves levers to lower wedges mounted on pressure head against stone. Turns lever or presses button to build up pressure in pressure head, observing gauge to determine when pressure is sufficient to cut stone. Pulls lever to force wedges against stone, splitting stone into specified dimensions. Lowers blade and end-stops, raises pressure head, and starts conveyor to remove stone. May tend machine that cuts granite blocks into paving-blocks (cobblestones) and be designated Paving-Block Cutter (stonework) I. (references) |
| Tends machines that cut scrap tires or split rubber sheets for reclaiming rubber: Adjusts guides to accommodate tire size and cut to be made, and installs blades, using handtools. Lifts tire or sheet onto powered rollers by hand or with hoist. Starts rollers that force tire or sheet against blade or endless-belt-type saw to split tire or sheet into piles, shear tire into sections, sever bead from tire, trim rubber from carcass, or separate sponge rubber from carpeting. May be designated according to type of cutting performed as Carcass Trimmer (rubber reclaim.); Scrap-Tire Shearer (rubber reclaim.); Tire Debeader (rubber reclaim.). (references) | |
