Bottoming Operator

Run bottoming operations around the welt, including beating and leveling the welt after inseaming, setting the shank, laying filler, building the cork bed, cementing and pressing the outsole, and operating the outsole stitcher. Beat and level the welt after inseaming, set the shank, lay the filler, and build the cork bed to specification. Cement, position, and press the outsole while holding alignment to the welt line and mate. Operate the outsole stitcher where the style calls for a stitched outsole. Inspect for sole alignment, gaps at the waist, and adhesion at the toe and heel. Cross-train toward inseaming and the Goodyear stitcher as capability allows. This position works on the production floor with standing requirements and occasional lifting up to 40 pounds.
