short hitory lesson on my machining experience.
I started me apprenticship in april 2006 and spent the first year fabricating machinery. I went to my first level apprenticship school and when i came back there was a brand new Doosan mill and MasterCam waiting for me. Since we are a small shop there is no one here with and CNC experience and it has been my job for the last two years to learn both NC machining and MasterCam at the same time. It's true i leaned on tech support quite a bit in the early days but im now proud to say after two years we are turning a helthy profit on our one Mill. Before my next big marketing push I want a lathe to round out the shop since it seems foolish to go through all the work to potentially get only half the work.
Also thanks for any input on this decision, I appreciate it. |
