Job Talks - Tool and Die Maker - Randy Discusses Misconceptions of the Job

[@acousticmikeb8119]

You’re absolutely right- we need more tool and die makers. I received my journeyman’s card in 1982 and worked as a tool and die maker in very intricate machines, injections and compression molds, and dies for eight years. We were essential to the efficient running of the production areas. I have retired from owning my own business and I earned multiple,degrees along the way, which tool me out of too, and die, though it was the basis for my deep understanding of how things are made. So, Tool and Die is the basis of much of my knowledge and skills set. Now retired I do woodworking. Because of my T&D experience, I can make anything! I hope young folks read this and find an apprenticeship in this great and fun trade.

[@jr7498]

Went to college out of high school and earned a bachelor's in accounting. Once I got a job In the field I hated it. Lucky enough to get offered a tool and die apprenticeship after taking some cnc classes. It's a very satisfying trade and will be heavily in demand. Always learning and Getting paid to play

As a tool and die maker you have the skills to solve problems that engineers cant even see. Im only 30 years old and earn over 6 figures started as a tool and die maker and worked my way up to Manufacturing engineer. I didnt pay a dime for schooling real new age tool and die maker need to be able to design a die from just a part print on the computer and have the knowledge to program all machines that are used to make it.

[@Lol1popshow1]

It is a great trade, has a bad habit of people who have had bad experiences just knock the whole trade because they think their experience is everyone’s experience, but the answer is NO the trade is alive and well and booming, and if you can master cnc and robotics you are almost guaranteed a 6 figure salary

[@bobbystruggle3658]

Here's the deal, do your time in the apprenticeship get done and grind it for a few years. Move on to learning another aspect of the trade then another and another. Never ever turn down an opportunity to learn something else and excel at all. Always remember that EVERYBODY is replaceable but YOU want to be the guy that's a lot harder to replace. That's how you make the money. Remember if you're you're the smartest person in the room...you're in the wrong room. Peace to all my fellow toolmakers out there. And just so everyone can know Tool and Die makers are NOT mould makers.

[@RobertFlynn-i4h]

It's a pity, that a degree can be done, without at least 6 years experience coming through a trade, nothing against doing a degree, good on you, bit a lot of your education is being provided from people that have been professional students, ( engineering hobbyists), sadly I had to deal and redesign a lot of work produced by degree engineers, at the repeated cost of companies that employed the degree engineers, I know there will be a lot experienced people out there that will agree

[@scottrackley4457]

@@RobertFlynn-i4h good lord yes, young engineers don't even understand basic measurement, which it the bedrock of toolmakers. "You're going to change this without even knowing what it is?" is usually a dead stop for conversations with them. Buys you a couple months before you hit them with the solution you thought up in a week.

[@EdgewiseSJ]

As someone who has been doing this for a couple decades, I'd say a T + D maker is a machinist. The difference is in your focus, not the skills. I've done 5 axis production work, manuals, lathes, mills, grinders, edms, and they're all a part of the same large skill set. Production is generally focused on doing the same thing better and better with ever increasing efficiency, tool making is working on one part at a time, making it precise and correct. In production, you're running a well established process (or creating what will be a well established process), in tool making you are figuring it out as you go most of the time doing a one of a kind part and just being careful not to machine yourself into a corner or scrap the part. Unfortunately, it does not pay well relative to the actual difficulty and depth of the skills required for the job. This is because you will always be competing with 5-10 people in China who collectively make about the same amount you do. You'll make a lot more as a plumber, electrician, or some other technical field that cannot be outsourced as easily, and that's why the trade is dwindling in the US relative to other trades. You can still make good money, but you need to reach the top of the field and be in a company that facilitates this, or work independently from your own garage shop.

[@MurderingSpork69]

Maybe in your shop they're machinists, where I work we do new builds and prototype work.

[@EdgewiseSJ]

@jake canebrake I can only speak for myself, but I make decent cash, live in a nice house, etc. Defense industry jobs don't get outsourced, but it's not easy to get in and took a long time working for a lot less to get the qualifications. Still better to be an electrician or a plumber, Hvac, etc if you're looking for a solid trade skill that will get you a decent paying job anywhere. You become a machinist only if you like that type of work.

[@MurderingSpork69]

@jake canebrake during my 4 year apprenticeship I've gone from 19 dollars an hour starting, to 27.50 by the end. By the time I cap out as a journeyman I'll be making 32.50, this isn't even at the big 3 btw. So no, I won't be making a few dollars more than an unskilled plant worker. Machinists and tradesman in general make really good money in certain parts of the US. I'm sure its the same in other countries aswell.

[@grayface309]

@@scottrackley4457 how so? I’m currently in machining technology courses and I’m in the process of figuring out what I would like to do after school

[@willhutton1516]

I’m as of writing this, officially 1 month away from graduating my apprenticeship with my journeyman’s as a toolmaker. My main interests in getting into this industry is not solely because of the money. When I was in 8th grade, (2015-ish) my dad told me I had to start thinking about what I wanted to do when I grow up. The next year, I decided to do some research and look at the average age of a machinist and toolmaker. The average age of a machinist was about 40 years old, while a toolmaker was on average about 50. That rationale to me meant that by 2030, I’ll be very much in demand since more often than not, positions where people retire from them are much harder to be filled than a firing and hiring.

[@scottrackley4457]

You even think like a toolmaker. You have to think about tool obsolescence. Welcome to the club. Did they tell you about the not knowing anything still and learning everyday? I would look into getting into design, especially solidworks and pro-e when young.

I've been in this trade for 26 years and sure you can make a decent living and wage but the working environment is absolutely brutal. Before anyone disagrees with what I say below keep in mind the reason they are always looking for apprentices is usually for 2 reasons; 1. They can hire you on the cheap and 2. Your young and easily persuaded to believe the lies they tell you. Apprentices who begin in this trade realize after many years working in the trenches its not a career its just a job and your just another number to eventually be layed off. They hire another cheap apprentice, rinse and repeat. If you like consistently working 6 days/ 55hrs+ per week (sometimes 7) this is the trade for you. Don't ever get sick or say you cannot make it in for whatever reason because you will get nothing but grief. Raises are non-existant unless you jump ship and move to another shop or upper company position. If your working on the shop floor you will have to contend with; co-worker egos and their unsafe work habits; being exposed to harmful chemicals like coolants and carbide dust; and being talked down to from upper management office staff who think they are smarter than you since your just another grunt on the shop floor. Also don't forget the job deadlines are almost impossible to complete on time, the Chinese can do it faster and cheaper, so the company has to under bid and then all the stress is on you to get it done even faster. Steer clear and find a real career if your young.

[@Lol1popshow1]

Why would you put out this negativity? I am young and have been a certified journeyman for 4 years now and have experienced nothing but great things and so had my fellow classmates and co workers, you sound like the old school tool makers who I have worked with who couldn’t change with the times and adapt with technology, or maybe you just got a really bad deal somewhere or just had a really unfortunate situation, idk your struggles or your life but do not put down the trade as a whole, that is extremely selfish and insanely ignorant, It is an great trade and a something that works your brain and something to be proud of and something to make a great living on, Unless you are working for a small mom and pop shop every company in the state I live in pays 70+ for tool makers and if you go and master the cnc and robotics side of the isle you easily make 6 figures so idk what your experience have been but trust me whatever your perception of the trade is, you are not at all accurate, maybe with your own experience but definitely not as a trade as a whole

I'm to learning Diploma in tool and die making

[@owenmcdonald5806]

I have a similar story, I tried a college course in design and drafting and hated every class except for the introduction to the shop, which was necessary so we knew about the machines, the teacher explained that at least a fifth of students in this course would end up switching to gm or t&d because they enjoyed the hands on stuff more. I was one of that fifth of people and haven't looked back! I work in a small shop for coop right now and surprisingly met my girlfriend through tool and die, who would've thought right? It's a wild trade and has drastically changed my life for the better, I highly consider it for people who enjoy puzzles, and working with your hands

This is obviously an ad through the colleges of Canada. I have been a toolmaker for over 25 years there will be no more new build in Canada. I home line dies here in canada that are built in China. The shop in china has over a 150 cnc mills. They can have a die machined before you order your steel. The tool makers that are in demand are finishers. They can not be produced in a collage or stamping plant. These toolmakers take years to gain there skills in the press developing tools. This trade is highly cyclical, and is nearing the end of its cycle. And if that is not enough government is charging a new carbon tax which will destroy manufacturing in Canada.

[@scottrackley4457]

I have seen tools outsourced in China. I wouldn't buy from them under any circumstances. Poor quality, poor design, poor workmanship. We had an engineer who sourced a tool from China that came with a hardened tool steel stripper. First double hit it became high velocity gravel and hurt someone. The engineer was gone less than a month after that.

Its really a misconception ..Aim a Toolmaker specializes in Class A dies .. Tandem dies so from experience its not a Dying Trade.

[@curtiswrong]

Class A more niche imo

[@morelwilliams7133]

Define your terms, before just jumping into the discussion. What in the world is “tool and die”

[@vivekkkhajana8665]

Always remember to repent of your sins (sin is transgression of YAHUAH’S LAW: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy) And Have Belief On YAHUSHA HAMASHYACH. HE Died and Rose three days later so that you can be forgiven of your sins! HE Loves you! Come to HIM!🙂

[@michaelheinen8526]

nobody get mad,i don't think a cnc operator is a machinist,he doesn't pick feeds or speeds,computer has all yhe info in it,operate a manual HBM,4 or 5 inch spindle 100 inch table,open table set ups,use a 4ft square turn table,make a top hat for a back hoe,keep bores in line 180 degree ,from one side to the other strait in line,i give .001 tolerance,good luck cnc button pusher

[@e2sguy]

michael heinen hold a dozen random shaped deep pockets on size depth and location in a large mold base to plus or minus .0002 tolerance without ever taking the plate out of the mill . Good luck manual machinist

[@MANOWAR8176]

Operators work with offsets usually, bringing the parts into tolerance. They also change the feedrate and spindle speed, and should know their feed and spindle rates pretty well. If a groove has a plus .0005 minus nothing tolerance, they are responisble if the part comes out bad. Its machining, not just pressing go
