I'm a jack of all trades when it comes to machining. I program, tool, setup, run, and maintain a 15yr. old POS vmc (vertical maching center) that can barely hold tolerance, making parts that are high tolerance (+-.005 down to +0.0000-.0003). The machine i currently run is a Lagunamatic with a dynapath conversational control, but i also have experience running Haas and bridgeport CNC's as well as programming with the latest version of mastercam. I can also run manual engine lathes, manual surface and cylindrical grinders, manual mills, and boring bars. I currently work in the paper industry for a company that makes machines that finish distributables (like the paper all your bills and paychecks are printed on, we make the machine the cuts and perforates the sheets) as well as HP's new line of huge inkjet printers (like newspaper or magazine size). I also do fixture making, and i'm the kind of guy the engineers like because i have very good understanding of their job and if you hand me a part i can figure out how it works and how to redesign it to make it beefier (the paper industry is all about making the baddest beefiest most reliable machine you can, we don't believe in planned obsolescence because when you pay what you do for these machines the customer is always pushing the performance on them to make them as productive as possible and you can lose a contract because of downtime). Really i'm addicted to machines and mechanical things so i spend most of my time working on something rather than say pursuing a personal life.
Edit sorry the grammar is bad it's a long list and really only looks good with bullets in resume form.
