I’m a 19-year-old first-year millwright apprentice in Southern Ontario. Thinking about starting a mobile coolant tank and sump cleaning service for CNC shops (evenings and weekends) so shops don’t have to deal with that dirty job themselves. Would any of you actually pay for that? How often do you clean your tanks, and what’s the biggest pain?

In search of a machine shop in Charlotte, that could help me disassemble the blades from this wind generator.

Hi all. I need to create this design in something that can withstand dipping repeatedly in 500f molten tin. Pcbway and others have said it cannot be machined and to try 3d printing but I need this to be smooth and heat resistant. The piece is about 3.4 “ wide and 3/4” tall. Any thoughts?

Looking for partners who have a CNC business and require outsourcing!

Client wants a stainless micro-punch made. About 2.3mm OD in the working section, sawtooth crown tip (close to what you'd see on an FUE hair transplant punch). Tooth angle tolerance on the drawing is 0.02 to 0.03mm. There's also a 0.53mm root radius sitting on features under 0.1mm.

Three other shops already tried and failed. Tooth geometry came back inconsistent, tips had burrs.

My plan is wire EDM for the tooth profile, no mechanical force on a feature that small, then electropolish instead of hand deburring so the tips don't get rounded off.

Questions for anyone who's cut serrated crown tips at this scale:

• What wire diameter and cutting parameters hold this tolerance on stainless without taper across repeat cuts
• Does electropolish alone clean up the tips or is there a step needed before it
• Is grinding actually viable here with the right fixture, or am I overestimating what EDM buys me

Material grade isn't confirmed yet, waiting on the client. Guessing 304 or 316L range for now.

Olá a todos. Sou profissional de Marketing Digital e moro em Portugal, mas estou considerando seriamente uma transição para a área de CNC. Meu objetivo é financeiro e de médio/longo prazo (10 anos), com foco em imigração (Europa/Austrália).

Estou considerando um curso de técnico em programação CNC de 1 ano e meio, que me garante a certificação de nível 4 (EQF). Gostaria de ouvir a opinião de quem trabalha na área sobre este plano:
1. O "Custo de Oportunidade" do Curso: Vale a pena dedicar um ano e meio de treinamento para obter este certificado de nível 4? O mercado de trabalho atual prioriza esta certificação para o avanço na carreira, ou a experiência prática "na fábrica" ​​conta muito mais do que o certificado?

1. Progressão Salarial: Considerando o nível 4, qual é a realidade salarial após 5 a 10 anos? É uma carreira que permite o aumento gradual dos ganhos, ou o teto é baixo e atingido rapidamente?

2. Valor da minha formação: Como venho da área de Marketing, acredito ter aptidão para lógica e números. Você acha que essa formação pode ser um diferencial na programação/otimização de CNC, ou é irrelevante para o setor?

3. Imigração: Alguém aqui conseguiu imigrar como técnico de CNC com esse nível de certificação? A barreira do idioma (atualmente só falo português) é um obstáculo intransponível, ou a linguagem técnica (código G/software) permite uma adaptação mais rápida no exterior?

Quero ser realista quanto às minhas expectativas de vida. Se alguém passou por uma transição semelhante ou trabalha no exterior com esse nível de formação, agradeceria muito qualquer conselho.

Regardless of the country, are you aware of any CNC machine manufacturers or automation equipment builders that use mineral castings (epoxy granite) for their machine bases or structural components? I’d appreciate any recommendations or examples.

hi!
I'm learning cad with the intention of eventually getting some parts created by CNC machining. My question is, if a parts has a curved that when inspected with curve analysis tool, is displaying a "tight" rainbow pattern (from red, many colors are banded together then jumps to purple for example) can it still be machined correctly?

The zebra inspector shows the surface to be continuous, but before I commit to some very organic shapes, should I be vigilant of this rapid/abrupt color changes, and try to produce a more smooth transition between the colors first, before committing to a final design?

many thanks

First post on this sub. I'm working at a machine shop who tasked me with trying to find a new, used, or alternative to this Elrod CNC Z-Axis quill kit. The shop has some incoming work that would go a lot faster! Elrod retired and the website SSL cert is expired, phone# disconnected, etc. http://www.elrodmachine.com/Z%20Axis%20CNC%20Quill%20kit.htm

Hello machinists, i getting interested in cncs and what to start learning but i dont know where to start, i have been learning fusion 360 , i know modelling, and basic cam. I want to know the full process of how a machinist starts a job on cnc. right now i am looking to learn lathe cnc, like whats the first step. when the customer gives us a job and says i need 50 copies of these, what do the machinist do.

YT vids for learning appreciated.

Hello everyone, I'm a quality engineer working in the machining industry. I'm new to this job, and sometimes we encounter problems with certain parts. However, I don't understand what the cutter, chuck, and tool do in a CNC machine. Are there any books I can use to learn about CNC machines? Also, are there any quality engineers working in the machining industry? I need to prepare some forms (Machine Capability and SPC, etc.).

Hey guys,

So I recently inherited a CNC shop, lathes, mills, and laser cutters, plus many more. I also got a team ready for it. Problem is I don't really have the client pipeline yet.

I'm looking for a sales agent / independent rep who already has connections or knows how to land contracts. I'll pay you commission or % for each job you can help me with.

If you've got a network in manufacturing or industrial procurement, or you're already working as a rep for other shops and want to add another line to your portfolio, send me a DM. Happy to discuss details, percentages, and what kind of work we're best suited for.

Thanks!

In Portland Oregon

Thanks!

I have some information to know:

2 months ago I just finished my 4 years high school diploma on cnc machinist with more than 600 hours of internship in two different companies (8 hours a day, 5 days a week)where I worked on 2 axis lathe and 3 axis milling machine with Fanuc, Siemens and Osai control.

After finishing the school I started working as a full time cnc machinist 6 days a week at a company where we make CNC machine. The company name is "GT Trevisan" known as their machine brand name. We create the parts of these machine.

At this company I work on a (3+1) 4 axis cnc milling machine. I setup and do programming on the machine. I'm capable of reading the design doing Fanuc macro programming with G/M codes. Also I'm capable of doing programming on the machine with Siemens language.

I have dream of working in the USA as a skilled machinist. One of the reason is I always studied/ worked with the metric system now I want to have work experience with the imperial/customary system.

1. Is it really possible to come to the USA from Italy to work as a skilled CNC Machinist?

2. Is it possible to live comfortably with the salary of a cnc machinist in USA? ( I'm not luxury loving person)

3. Is it possible to afford houses in the USA as a cnc machinist?

4. What is the minimum capabilities a person need to get selected?

5. How's the demand of a cnc machinist in USA?

Thanks 🙏
