Dazed and Confused

[chillywilly]

I am totally new to anything even resembling machining but I thing I caught the bug. So now i'm lurking and learning all that I can. I look forward to reading up on the projects you "geniuses" (lol) are coming up with. This is my way of saying hello!

hi.

[Dragon3]

this looks like a good place to post my question. i run a fanuc now. i've also run cima and toyoda on cnc machines, plus a host of manual machines. actually, i'm 50 years old, and spent most of my life running some machine in some factory. i have enough of a machining background to learn anything i don't know easily. tomorrow, i have a second interview at a shop that uses mazaks. i'm just wondering if there is anywhere i can get some operating instructions for a mazak 640m. then, i can study the instructions tonight, and be more knowledgeable for my interview tomorrow.any help would be greatly appreciated.i really want to get this job.
