Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
If I could only buy one more machine.
As cool as CNC is sometimes it's a bit counter productive for simple things and when you only need to do it once. Not too mention the amount of tooling you need to compare to an older machine(albeit a bajillion times quicker for CNC),

That's a shaper, it predates the mill, they don't make them anymore since they're slow and impractical for most work. It's a big ram on top with a tool similar to a lathe that's attached to a crank that moves it in and out. Power feed is totally mechanical.
What kind of shop are you working for? Like production or job shop type stuff?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
We do build some standards and plug gauges that are production work.
But mainly its job work, all on masaks and okuma turret lathes, I never ran one till today and I am impressed to say the least. :idea:
Job shop that does production, if that makes sense.

Job shop is where I think I want to be, if for nothing else to learn what I can and move on to something else. I supposedly have an in to a job that i'll try this summer. When I got out of high school I was fixing computers, **** computers. Wish I was doing what you're doing.

With the Ohkuma I have to load each component individually. So I got 500 parts ran but I was hauling ass all day.
This is my highschool job, I am doing it till im out and have secured work at a bigger shop that is production, I love my line of work but in a shop like mine we are running 2-3 machines each doing an inspection in the down time, checking every thing then resetting with bar stock in.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Correct me if I'm wrong, but bigger shop, more production, more you're setting up a machine to just go through the motions and make the same thing over and over. "Job Shop" to me meant you're doing individual jobs, problem solving each one and every one would be different. Production, to me seems like mindless work. Coming from someone that only knows a school shop though.

Not quite, job shop is a lot of same old same old, from what I've seen.
You set up your machine and run the hell out of the program, then repeat.
A lot of jobs we get come with the program already. So not so much of the figuring out.
Bring it snow. I'm game.

Around here everyone has lifted trucks, pretty sure no one round these parts misses work due to snow
