Our mission, your role Delivering quality that stands the test of time has been our promise for 65+ years. At DuHadaway Tool and Die Shop—home to an ISO 9001-registered Industrial Turbine Component Repair Division—you’ll ensure that every component leaving our floor meets exacting standards. Your inspections protect performance, safety, and customer trust.

Imagine this scenarioA critical turbine component hits your bench for first-article inspection. You confirm the drawing revision, review the BOM, and scan the GD&T callouts. With height gage in hand, you validate datums; micrometers verify diameters; thread and bore gages confirm fits. On the CMM, you capture complex geometry. You document every result, flag a subtle out-of-tolerance condition, collaborate with Production to resolve it, and keep the job on schedule—precisely why your work matters.
