Training is good!

Especially when it's to learn how to make all the goodies we so desperately need.

All i can say about todays training is it's damn intimidating sitting in a room full of experienced CNC machinists trying to grasp the fundamentals of whats going on when they've been doing it for years. I did learn some basics like how to power up the machine and set tool and work offsets with the toolsetter. Someday i hope to learn it enough to be completely proficient on it, and for now, at least proficient enough so that when my machinist leaves for the day i can keep the machine running parts he had it set up and programmed for.

Dave you got a top of the line cnc, haas? Okuma? Mazak? Without knowing how to use one? Oh my lord!! U got some balls mr. Lol
Last place I worked at got a haas VR-4 and a SL-10 brand new, nobody was allowed to touch em till the haas guy showed up, I didn't know anything about cncs but learned setups in three months, then program editing after that, now I'm getting to know featurecam really well and slowly getting solidworks down too.
If u have those two programs and feature cam has all the post processors you need for your machine, learn setups and some editing, featurecam will do the rest hehe.

QFT I don't even know what a modern CNC looks like . . . where I work we've got ancient equipment (an old Mori-Seiki that still has a tape reader for memory, 1960's Bryant and Heald grinders, about the newest things we have are some 25+ year old Eurotechs). And to think we actually make satellite parts on them

I always thought it was mom Well, the good news is training is over and the other good news is the teacher crashed the machine today, not me He was trying to mill the face of the stock using the radial live tooling and Y axis and he plunged the end mill right into the stock snapping the end mill off! Glad it wasn't me...lol...

Hey Julio, I think he said he has a guy to help him run it, either way I am very excited for SuperT and all of us customers.

Super excited too, development Inhouse will only bring more beasts for us to use.
