*****Machining thread*****
 

I can't wait to see this thread grow.
Looks good so far. Is this for school?

I hope it does grow. This part is not, it is something im working on for practice before i take the test, I may try to do a front tow hook next.. This is also only mt third time on the Mill. Also will have more pics of it tomorrow when it is done.

thats bad ass, did you have any pics of it on the car, and how did it work out for you.

lol ^ nice work pineapples!

lol @ taggart

I am in this thread I am a machinist by trade I run a Quickmill Intimadator 120 with Fanuc 21i controls, 1000psi thru the tool coolant, 4k rpm spindle, and 600 ipm rapid transverse. I program it with MasterCam and I am MasterCam certified. I very fluent with Hass CNC. If only Joe at Locash would hire me to run the ones he has in his shop. Or I would work at Hasport. I will get some pics on here soon

That looks really good.

alright about time. im the fng at my place learning the trade. but currently running production on aerospace using a fadal 4020 4th/5th axis. plus learning mastercam by playing around a little with it. its insane what is possible with a 4th/5th.

Shit Anything is possible with 4th and 5th axis. I went to Gateway to get trained for MasterCam and I bought my own MasterCam so if I leave here at work it goes with me.

haha me to its in my comp now. big ass book man.
and ya 4th/5th is the way to go.
or an lmx! haha

oh and 10k spindle speed isnt that bad either!lol

what school did you guys go to.

I use a kiwa with dual four sided pallets with fanuc controls....and a few other fanucs lol

Gateway Communitany College, the machine shop there is the best in AZ better than ASU Polytenic. I go back soon for Solidworks 3D solid modeling. When I am done I will have a duel AAS in Industrial Technology its a little more than 6k for all schooling not including books.

no school for the trade. common sence doesnt hurt though,

I will have to check what they have there to offer.

So you just onow everything then.

I was machinist for a long time. Trust me school helps alot especially the GD&T. I am very fluent with a cmm, mill and lathe level 1,2, and 3 MasterCam certified. Not to mention going to Solidworks certified and I already have various NIMS certifications along with a six sigma black belt. And when all done a duel Associates Degree in Industrial Design Techology and Industrial Production Technology. There are some things you need school for, so I could be your next boss.

delsol type r go ahead school is definetly worth it.

ohhh we got this all wrong. i dont know shit .lol. im learning the trade. that's all i was saying. i plan on going to school for metallurgical studies, more welding and reading through and playing with my master cam software. i was not at all saying i knew everything nor that school was worthless. simple misunderstanding.....

Very nice. I still am not sure what i want to go for yet.

It seems it was a misunderstanding. What school are you going to.

It was how you said there is nothing wrong with learning it yourself I know plenty of people that can walk circles around me and they never had any schooling. But the schooling has made everything make sense at what I do.
