How did you find your way into this field? What kind of work are you actually doing on the daily? Who is your favorite Machining personality, and why is it AVE? Are there any financial incentives behind handcrank in this day and age, or is there only money in mass production in China? Is there any production to speak of being done Stateside?
I know enough to know I dont know shit, but I would be able to die happy knowing I've tried my best to see American Manufacturing become more than just manufacturing the blueprints that are sent to China
How much time were you spending actually working the material on a mill/lathe? Was that a good portion of the time spent or was that 1 hour working, 7 hour paperwork sort of deal? From what I understand of CNC systems, theres more value in optimal scripted pathways, then babysitting the equipment, interpreting error messages the machine spits out when something goes fucky. Sounds horribly depressing to me, but there can be good money in that.
