METAL GOODS MFG. — N.O.C.
Metal stamping is defined as the operation of power-driven presses or brakes, or foot- or hand-power presses or brakes, used for blanking, forming, trimming, drawing, punching or assembling metal where the operator places each piece under the point of operation at each complete press or brake stroke.
Operations performed on power presses that may be interchangeably hand fed or automatically fed shall be considered metal stamping.
Metal stamping does not include (1) rotary punches, whether computer or manually controlled, which require only the loading and unloading of the work piece by the operator and do not require the operator to place or reposition the work piece after each stroke, or (2) hydraulic presses or brakes where the ram travel will automatically stop upon release of the activating mechanism.
Payroll of a tool and die department shall be assigned to Classification 3099, Tool Mfg., if more than 50% of the tools and dies are sold commercially and are not used in any way in the employer's production operations. Otherwise, the payroll of a tool and die department shall be assigned to Classification 3400.
Employers engaged in rolling or drawing metal shall be classified as follows:
- Employers engaged in the heating and rolling of metal stock shall be classified as 3018, Steel Making or Processing.
- Employers engaged in the rerolling of metal stock shall be classified as 3018, Steel Making or Processing, if 50% or more of the metal stock used is #9 gauge or heavier.
- Employers engaged in the rerolling of cold metal stock shall be classified as 3400, if more than 50% of the metal stock used is lighter than #9 gauge.
- Employers engaged in the drawing of metal to produce rod stock 1/2" in diameter or larger shall be classified as 3018, Steel Making or Processing.
- Employers engaged in the drawing of metal to produce wire or rod stock less than 1/2" in diameter shall be classified as 3241, Wire, Wire Rope or Wire Cable Mfg.
