Sets up welders by sight-setting of torch and wire projections, adjusting gas, wire feed speeds, amperages and voltages, setting welding overlap for various size Red Line Shells. Using hand tools attaches fixtures to each machine during size changeovers.
• Operates a seam welder and planisher to fabricate 10, 20 and 30 pound shells. Using hand tools sets up both machines when shell requirement change, by removal of the mandrel, adjusting arms, adjusting stops, etc. Utilizes expander to test and check seam weld.
