cranny said:Cool. Did you run manual lathes and mills or any CNC? I did manual machine work for about 12 yrs. before operating and programming CNC equipment. Having done both, I kind of miss making things by hand and the physical part off it. Now, I'm mostly behind a computer screen working w/ CAD and CAM software. It's cool what it can do but damn I hate sitting most of the day not doing anything physical.
I learned to operate them manually first, and mostly did that, then after i was proficient at ProE and Solidworks design software i got a little into the CNC side but i've forgotten all of that for sure....CNC wasn't my thing....i helped a few guys on my senior design team project with it a bit, but it wasn't my niche for sure
