It looks like he is working on the edge of the die. The station has a sign that says "green". I guess it's a polishing wheel using green polishing compound.

 

First they put what is known as the master die into a hydraulic press.
Now the bottom working hub is also put into the bottom of the press.
At this time the hydraulic press presses the master die into the working hub blank,
which embeds the impression into the working hub die.

Maybe this definition will also help

It is unfortunate some people tend to want to complicate things.
And they also forget that we are dealing with every day people.
I know as an instructor over the years, I have found it's a lot easier for people to understand if you keep it simple.
If you use terms and words that there not use two it only confuses them, though the terms may be correct.

I have found it's a lot easier for people to learn something new if you simplify it, and make it easy to understand.
I have noticed this on CT some members want to complicate things and confuse people especially when they're just learning
we all have our own techniques, I have found if I don't overcomplicated people have a tendency to understand easier.

But I'm just an old Marine who's been teaching people for over 35 years.
But What do I know.

I have to correct myself, I have been a certified instructor since 1978 to this day.
And not counting the time that I was an instructor in the Marines.
And maybe this link will also help you Larry. They also have have and inspector name Larry.

Perhaps we will all figure out what the die issue is that causes this.

 

I basically prefer this photo All I'm Seeing is a very stress die it shows cracks and chips and stress fractures.

I'm sure you were a great instructor. Thanks for the links and images. Not many folks understand all the steps involved in making a working die.
A friend of mine helps make the die steel bars. I'll see if I can find images of that process.

 

Larry I don't know if I did this right will see
Steel rolling mill process & operation, manufacturing of TMT bars
Evidently not this is a YouTube video I thought you be interested in I'll give it another try here.

I'm slowly learning how to work this damn computer. Get better every day
