SOC 51-4021
Set up, operate, or tend extruding and drawing machines to form thermoplastic or metal materials into tube, rod, hose, wire, or profile shapes; select dies and components to specification, set controls, measure and inspect, change dies, cut and coil, and may handle mixing, inventory, and minor equipment repair. Specific materials, inspection duties, and operating authority are checked by position.
First verify the actual product, materials, equipment, and position conditions, then use the FT348 paper item to verify dimension records and unknowns; whether you accept workshop conditions, hours, and training is checked separately against the specific position materials.
This card is a career exploration reference and does not constitute hiring, competence scoring, or safety and quality conclusions.
Editorial observation: whether you are willing to verify units, ranges, and missing items one by one, accept review of results, and not fabricate measurements to complete a form. One paper performance does not prove safe operating capability or hiring qualifications; whether the real environment is acceptable must be checked against the target position.
The US O*NET51-4021.00 covers setting up, operating, or tending equipment that extrudes or draws thermoplastic or metal materials into tube, rod, hose, wire, or profiles; this includes selecting dies, nozzles, and guides to specification, setting equipment controls, checking dimensions and appearance, changing dies, cutting and coiling, material inventory, and minor repair and maintenance. The Chinese short name retains 'metal', which is not used to exclude thermoplastic materials; the task set does not require every position to handle all materials and processes. Adjacent occupations are compared by main process, and minor repair is not major equipment overhaul; individual design, inspection, or safety approval authority must be checked separately.
Career direction comparison
The following occupations all relate to metal or plastics processing, but their subjects, equipment, and processes differ; use them to help locate a direction rather than as substitutes for one another.

|---|---|---|---|
| Extruding and drawing machine setters, operators, and tenders (this occupation) | Set up and operate extruding or drawing equipment to process materials into tube, rod, wire, and profiles | Centered on setting up extruding or drawing equipment and product consistency; this occupation itself is that direction | Choose this occupation if you prefer parameter adjustment and product inspection; see the directions below if you prefer other forming methods |
AI impact on this career
Insufficient evidence: no institutional AI adoption rate, measured benefit, or wage and employment causal quantity for this occupation was obtained. ILO is global potential exposure, O*NET is occupational tasks, and NIST is a voluntary framework; none proves that this occupation has already adopted it or been augmented or replaced as a whole. This page does not score tasks.
Format organization of non-sensitive records is an editorial candidate, and performance and output correctness must actually be validated; O*NET cannot prove that generative tools can determine process parameters or product conformity.
Insufficient evidence: no institutional adoption rate, benefits, or material disclosure permission for this occupation was obtained; verifying permission and validation before adoption is an editorial suggestion and does not claim that only low-risk steps are usually used.

Insufficient evidence: no AI employment causal quantity for this occupation was obtained.
Chinese mainland salary reference
Metal or plastic products, supply manufacturing, and building materials are editorial search directions; this round did not obtain a Chinese industry position share for this occupation and does not claim that positions are concentrated there.
Definition note: industry average wages cover multiple occupations and cannot replace this occupation's wage distribution.
Insufficient evidence: no national single-occupation monthly or annual salary statistic precisely corresponding to this occupation in mainland China was obtained; this page provides only the industry average wage as background (non-private 113,594 yuan/year, private 76,055 yuan/year, 2025), which cannot be converted into a specific position's monthly salary.
Insufficient evidence: no wage statistic or representative current quote for this occupation in first-tier cities was obtained; a single posting must be checked for date, hours, and pay, and it is not claimed to often include allowances based on unread samples.

Career fit guide
The key point is whether you can verify records, preserve unknowns, and communicate clearly; paper results do not equal on-site operating capability, and a real position also requires checking the equipment and training conditions.
You may be better suited to： Willing to repeatedly verify materials, dies, and parameters for one job
These situations require caution： Able to stop and report per the rules when dimension out-of-tolerance, appearance defects, or equipment abnormalities occur
Do an entry exercise： FT348 paper records, the unsent confirmation letter, and review notes; on-site conditions and operating authority are checked separately
Work pressure, risks, and occupational boundaries
Editorial risk scenarios: mismatched specification or die records, wrong parameter and measurement information, hazardous equipment conditions, heat, cold, and noise exposure, and missing die change records or handovers may affect quality and safety; the US context survey is not an accident rate, and the checklist cannot be used to assert that most risks have been reduced.
The six cards are editorial scenarios based on verified occupational tasks and US work context; regulations, health examinations, and equipment procedures were not verified jurisdiction by jurisdiction, and the cards are not a uniform work instruction.
Typical scenario：Die wear or wrong specifications cause batch out-of-tolerance results
Roles most affected：Operators
Entry, qualifications, and career development
The typical US BLS entry is a high school diploma or equivalent, no related work experience required, and medium-term on-the-job training; O*NET JobZone1-2 is a general preparation level, and the education survey shows 61% answered high school or equivalent, with the current page not listing the remaining education categories. Insufficient evidence: no representative current Chinese recruitment conditions, jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction qualifications, or original texts on training cost and period were obtained, so a uniform education or independent equipment authorization cannot be inferred.
Career outlook and related career transitions
Insufficient evidence: no precise Chinese occupational wage was obtained, only industry background. BLS exact SOC51-4021: 60,900 employed in 2025 and a 2035 projection of 61,400, growth of 0.7% over 2025—2035, and an annual average of 5,400 job openings; openings include growth and replacements, are not a ten-year total or net additions, and the thousands values in the table are rounded separately.

Employment change
The US O*NET51-4021.00 covers setting up, operating, or tending equipment that extrudes or draws thermoplastic or metal materials into tube, rod, hose, wire, or profiles; this includes selecting dies, nozzles, and guides to specification, setting equipment controls, checking dimensions and appearance, changing dies, cutting and coiling, material inventory, and minor repair and maintenance. The Chinese short name retains 'metal', which is not used to exclude thermoplastic materials; the task set does not require every position to handle all materials and processes.
This checklist is for self-questioning only and does not constitute hiring criteria, a competence score, or a suitability conclusion. Extruding and drawing work differs greatly in material (metal wire and rod, thermoplastic plastics), product (pipe, cable sheathing, profiles, rod), and equipment (extruders, drawing machines, cutting and coiling devices); before comparing positions, first check that position's product and material, equipment model and degree of automation, shifts and safety system, and whether it involves high heat, noise, and heavy lifting.
Use the FT348 fictional dimension record item on this page to observe document verification: the input provides a given range, three readings, and two missing items, so only judge whether the records fall within the item's range, preserve the unknowns, and write an unsent confirmation letter; do not select real dies, set temperature or speed, or operate equipment.

Mainly equipment setup and product inspection
Mainly parameter adjustment and quality inspection
Extruding and drawing machine setters, operators, and tenders are often confused with adjacent positions, and the way to distinguish them is by subject and task: this occupation centers on setting up extruding or drawing equipment, adjusting parameters, measuring products, and maintaining dies; if the work centers on making and repairing dies (tool and die makers), cutting machined parts (machinists, CNC machine tool operators), or melting and casting (foundry workers), it belongs to adjacent directions.

The following evidence cards correspond respectively to international organizations' task exposure research, official occupational materials, and governance frameworks; read them according to their own research subjects and limitations, and do not merge them into a single conclusion.
The following discusses editorial candidates in three categories: process material preparation, on-site machine adjustment, and measurement and maintenance records; this does not mean this occupation has already adopted AI or measured effects.
AI primarily changesNon-sensitive material format organization as a to-be-validated candidate
Human responsibility remainsOn-site machine adjustment, die change, and test-run decisions
AI primarily changesOrdinary record organization as a to-be-validated candidate
Human responsibility remainsFirst-article judgment, dimension out-of-tolerance, and abnormal handling decisions
AI primarily changesMaintenance record text organization as a to-be-validated candidate
Human responsibility remainsJudgment of die wear and equipment abnormalities
When using AI to assist with this occupation's work, confirm boundaries and responsibility in the following order:
First confirm the task scope, quality responsibility, and equipment procedures, and decide which parts may use tools.
Editorial suggestion: after institutional permission and validation, explore only non-sensitive text organization and do not generate real temperature and speed, die selection, or quality instructions.
Editorial suggestion: verify the text source and version; real process review is arranged by the authorized position under institutional procedures.
Record the tool name, version, inputs, and human modifications to keep production and quality records traceable.
Specific process, operating, and inspection responsibility is determined by the institution's original text, and tools do not change authorization
Generated content may contain wrong parameters or outdated procedures
Control: Check each item against the original process documents and the latest procedures; do not use it for production before verification
Production and quality information involves commercial and compliance matters
Control: Handle it under minimum necessary and permission requirements; sensitive information must not be submitted to external tools
Production and quality records must be traceable, otherwise they cannot be reviewed
Control: Record the tool name, version, inputs, and modifications, and keep process and ledger versions
Errors in material, die, or parameter information cause batch out-of-tolerance results
Control: This item verifies only the given measurement records and does not fill in parameters or missing values; real production judgments are checked against the position's process separately.
Abnormal handling requires clear assignment of responsibility
Control: Define the shutdown and reporting process and responsible person; unauthorized handling must not be carried out
Before preparing to enter, read the tasks and training conditions first, then do the FT348 record item; actual test runs or inspections are arranged only under institutional training and authorization.
New hires verify equipment and position authority and the actual inspection and abnormal handling processes; the paper verification on this page grants no operating authority.
Editorial candidate: after institutional permission and validation, explore format organization of non-sensitive records; do not let generative tools provide real process parameters or quality decisions.
Editorial suggestion: verify the real parameters and the responsibility for quality and abnormal handling processes, then verify tool use permission and output validation; no occupational adoption effect was obtained, and record tasks are not predetermined as low risk.
Insufficient evidence: no measured conclusion on overall augmentation or replacement for this occupation was obtained; global potential exposure cannot replace occupational adoption and employment data.

No. The median of 47,720 USD/year is not a starting wage; the five tiers are statistical positions rather than experience grades, and the 25th and 75th percentiles were obtained at 40,450 and 56,840 USD/year.
It cannot be extrapolated simply. Hourly wages are paid by the hour, and annual income also depends on shifts, overtime, and performance; the median hourly wage and median annual wage cannot be converted directly into an individual's take-home income.
The five tiers come from the 2025 BLS data in the O*NET NationalWages51-4021.00 read directly this round; employment comes from the BLS2025—2035 table. The industry median was not obtained this round, which does not mean the official source has not published it.
Product and material, equipment automation level, shifts, and region all affect actual income; wage definitions from different sources (monthly salary, piece rates, including overtime or allowances) cannot be mixed.

Which Holland interest type is closer to extruding and drawing machine setters, operators, and tenders?
The official interest code is RC (Realistic—Conventional): Realistic corresponds to hands-on work with equipment, materials, and tools while monitoring machine operation, and Conventional corresponds to handling data and records per procedures and standards. The interest code describes activity preferences only and does not represent ability, hiring, or performance conclusions.
Do not use it this way: Equating 'likes hands-on work' with 'does not need to look at data'; if you are unwilling to record and verify parameters and tend to keep producing when dimensions or appearance are abnormal, the main body of the daily work will be very hard to sustain.
Take my Holland career interest testWhich Big Five traits are more relevant to this work?
Editorial observation: whether you are willing to verify specifications, units, and missing items, and to preserve unknowns and accept review even when pressed; Big Five labels cannot serve as a basis for competence or hiring in this occupation, and no occupation-specific prediction research was obtained this round.
Do not use it this way: Treating a personality test result as an occupational conclusion, or ruling yourself out on that basis.
See my Big Five personality traitsCan MBTI be used to judge whether I am suited to be an extruding and drawing machine setter, operator, or tender?
This page does not infer suitability from MBTI. Communication preferences may be organized, and actual validation uses the FT348 paper record item and subsequent formal position training.
Do not use it this way: Using a type label to explain that you are not suited to workshop work.
Learn my MBTI preferencesCan the Enneagram tell whether I am suited to this occupation?
The Enneagram is a self-reflection tool. More useful questions for this work are whether you can keep verifying and reporting under repetitive work and production pace pressure; these can be verified directly through internship or training experience.
Do not use it this way: Treating a type description as proof of occupational fit.
Explore my Enneagram patternCan I be an extruding and drawing machine setter, operator, or tender if my math is average?
Mathematics basics can be observed through FT348: reading millimeter units, comparing closed intervals, flagging missing items, and explaining the reasoning; O*NET lists skills such as mathematics and monitoring, and a single intelligence score does not imply position capability.
Do not use it this way: Treating a single test result as an ability ceiling.
Learn about my intelligence and reasoning performanceDo extruding and drawing machine setters, operators, and tenders need high emotional intelligence?
Observable: checking the original record under questioning and stating the range and unknowns, without using an emotional intelligence scale to infer performance in this occupation; these are editorial prompts.
Do not use it this way: Using high or low emotional intelligence in place of verifying parameter execution and quality records.

Introversion does not directly determine performance. The US survey shows 72% face-to-face discussions daily; FT348 can be used to practice clearly explaining unknowns and out-of-range items, and introversion or extraversion is not treated as a hiring condition.
Extraversion does not automatically prove good performance. Observe whether you can verify records, explain missing items, and accept review, and actual handovers and operations are verified by specific position training.

This round did not obtain occupation-specific personality prediction research, and scores are not used to prove job performance; FT348 observes document habits, and on-site capability is checked separately.
First see whether you can read mm units, compare closed intervals, and preserve unknowns; FT348 can be used to observe, and one mathematics or intelligence result does not rule out the occupation.
There is no evidence of a uniform emotional intelligence threshold for this occupation. The editorial observation is checking records and explaining unknowns and communicating clearly when pressed or questioned.
Enneagram labels cannot prove suitability for this occupation on this page; concrete observation returns to the FT348 record verification and subsequent formal training.
Use the four FT348 works to verify units and ranges, A's unknown appearance, B's out-of-range diameter, and C's single length update; the real conditions for different directions are checked separately, and no occupational conclusion is inferred from the item.
Possible consequence：May cause batch out-of-tolerance results and rework
How to reduce risk：Editorial verification: check the specification and die versions and hand them to the authorized position for confirmation; this page does not decide the die change.
Evidence：O*NET task and work activity materials · O*NET task and work activity materials

A degree, training, equipment operating authorization, and employer appointment are different levels; completing training does not mean one can independently operate all equipment; equipment authorization has a position and process scope, and crossing processes or plant areas requires re-verification. This page does not replace equipment procedures and the employer's quality system and provides no safety advice.
| Entry direction | Starting tasks | Evidence that can be prepared | Works that can be shown even without experience | Differences to note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equipment operation direction (editorial exploration) | Actual clamping or loading must be checked against training and authority | Permitted real training records; state honestly if none | FT348 input comparison and three-line range table | Paper does not prove ability to operate |
| Machine adjustment direction (editorial exploration) | Real parameter setting follows position procedures | Actual position training and review records; state honestly if none | FT348 identifies missing items and version to-dos | This item does not set temperature or speed |
| Product inspection direction (editorial exploration) | Actual inspection and release duties are checked separately | Permitted measurement and inspection records; state honestly if none | FT348 range verification and unsent letter | The item's set range does not equal a real quality standard |
| Equipment inspection direction (editorial exploration) | The scope and authority for inspection and minor repair are checked separately | Actual training records; state honestly if none | FT348 original records compared with the day 5 change | Does not perform equipment maintenance |
| Record organization direction (editorial exploration) | Real material versions and information permissions are checked separately | Permitted real ledgers; state honestly if none | FT348 four works and review notes | No real recruitment sample; independent positions are not guaranteed |
Verify the education or training requirements and on-the-job training arrangements, and record the posting date and whether it is still open.
Distinguish 'has received position training' from 'can operate that equipment independently', and do not substitute a degree for equipment authorization.
Verify the equipment model, control system, and automation level, as well as equipment operating authorization and safety training requirements.
Record the authorization scope and validity period; crossing processes or equipment requires re-verification.
Job Zone 1-2 (little to some preparation), SVP below 6.0; about 61% of the education survey indicated that a high school diploma or equivalent is needed.
The preparation level describes the occupation as a whole and does not represent specific position or equipment authorization conditions.
Verify the division of responsibility for measurement, inspection, and abnormal handling using calipers, micrometers, and test devices.
State the judgment criteria and reporting process; do not substitute a list for the quality system.
The product in this item is X, which does not correspond to a real product; dimensions are in mm. Item ranges: diameter 9.90—10.10, length 99.0—101.0, both inclusive of the boundaries. Only judge whether records fall within the range; this does not prove that a real product conforms.
Record A: diameter 10.00, length 100.0, appearance not recorded; Record B: diameter 10.12, length 100.5, appearance recorded as no visible defects; Record C: diameter 9.98, length missing, appearance recorded as no visible defects.
There is no temperature, speed, pressure, die, measuring instrument accuracy, sampling frequency, production permit, or abnormal handling rule; these must not be invented.
All units, products, and records are fictional. Machine adjustment, die changes, starting or stopping equipment, and product release must not be based on this item.
The output is a three-line range verification table, missing-item to-dos, and one unsent confirmation letter.
The only new information on day 5: record C's length is 100.8mm. The other inputs are unchanged, and A's appearance or a real quality approval are not filled in.
Record diameter and length line by line: within the item range, out of range, or unknown, and state the basis for the comparison; the appearance column is transcribed from the original record, and a missing entry must not be written as normal.
Deliver the three-line verification table, missing-item to-dos, and an unsent confirmation letter, and do not write production operating steps.
First list the FT348 ranges, the three records, and the missing items; if there is also a real posting, record the link, date, position, and each requirement, otherwise note that this item has no recruitment sample.
Do not write fictional inputs or unknown conditions as satisfied.
Output that A is in range but appearance is unknown; B's diameter is out of range; C's length is unknown, with units and basis in each column.
Keep the original inputs and do not write temperature or speed or fill in measured values.
Update only that column per the given C length of 100.8; A's unknown appearance and B's out-of-range diameter remain as to-dos.
Attach the unsent confirmation letter, and the unknown items and the item's answer can be reviewed.
Explain the interval comparison, units, input version, and whether anyone actually gave feedback; state honestly if no feedback was received.
Record the name, inputs, and modifications only if tools were actually used; if they were not used, write that they were not used, and do not invent AI or measurement operating experience.
| Scenario | Questions that may be asked | Evidence that can be presented | Conclusions that cannot be inferred |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interview | Whether the candidate can explain the parameter setting and first-article inspection process. | Check whether confirmation is done item by item per specification and records are kept. | Hiring decisions are made by the employer and the position, not by the candidate. |
| Training and assessment |
List the units, closed intervals, three records, and explicit missing items, and do not look for external equipment.
A and C are within the item range, B exceeds the upper bound; write the basis for the comparison.
A and B lengths are in range, C's length is unknown; A's appearance is unknown, and no value is filled in.
Record A's appearance, B's diameter, and C's length; write the unsent letter from the item and keep everything as is.
Only C's length of 100.8mm changes to in range; A's appearance and B's diameter to-dos are not cleared.
Check the units, ranges, and original inputs again; outside feedback is optional, and if none occurred, note independent review rather than fabricating it.

Insufficient evidence: no precise national Chinese wage for this occupation was obtained. The 2025 manufacturing urban non-private 113,594 and private 76,055 yuan/year are industry averages and are background only, not an occupational median or a recruitment quote.
Insufficient evidence: no AI adoption rate, measured benefit, or employment causal quantity for this occupation was obtained. ILO global potential exposure and the non-sensitive text organization candidate cannot prove overall augmentation, replacement, or a disappearance year for the occupation.

The five tiers are not experience grades, starting wages, or individual take-home pay; the 25th and 75th percentiles were obtained and are no longer treated as gaps.
The US 2025 10/25/50/75/90 percentile annual wages are 36,700/40,450/47,720/56,840/63,710 USD, with hourly wages of 17.65/19.45/22.94/27.33/30.63 USD; the O*NET NationalWages table presents BLS wage data for the same occupation. BLS exact SOC51-4021: 60,900 employed in 2025 and a 2035 projection of 61,400, growth of 0.7% over 2025—2035, and an annual average of 5,400 job openings; openings include growth and replacements, are not a ten-year total or net additions, and the thousands values in the table are rounded separately. Insufficient evidence: this round did not obtain precise by-industry occupational median wages, which does not mean the official source has not published them.
The typical US BLS entry is a high school diploma or equivalent, no related work experience required, and medium-term on-the-job training; O*NET JobZone1-2 is a general preparation level, and the education survey shows 61% answered high school or equivalent, with the current page not listing the remaining education categories. Insufficient evidence: no representative current Chinese recruitment conditions, jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction qualifications, or original texts on training cost and period were obtained, so a uniform education or independent equipment authorization cannot be inferred.
This round the US O*NET survey shows 99% standing continuously, 100% wearing routine protective equipment daily, and 67% with a work week over 40 hours. Insufficient evidence: no applicable jurisdiction-specific original texts on equipment, safety, and health examinations were obtained; actual protection, training, and authorization are checked by specific position, and Chinese rules are not inferred from the survey.
The risks on this page are editorial extrapolations from tasks and context, not accident probabilities or work instructions. Die specifications, parameter records, hazardous equipment conditions, heat, cold, and noise, and missing handovers are worth verifying; abnormal handling and real quality decisions follow actual procedures and authority.
