That's an interesting thing to have. I've been in the industry for 17 years and you don't see a lot of it anymore. What is your machining capacity and what software do y'all use for designing?

Very cool. We have a VH3 and it's a beast of a mill. We do all our designs and shop drawings in SW. I work for a decent size job shop in Caldwell with everything from a CAT50 open machine with 120"x36"x36 of travel to a 5 axis rotary tilt mill. Definitely just a cool industry to be in.

We do a lot of power plant maintenance. We do some work for APF and use them pretty often for laser work. Definitely would like to talk with you. Might be able to use your services in the future. Shoot me an email at Robert at Bwmservices dot cc.

I will have to second this, it is a very cool industry to be in. I started as a machinist years ago and it has been a great career.

Diversification is the key to survival in our area. I am glad to hear that you were able to do so prior to the collapse and not be dependent on the energy sector. I am not a day to day machinist anymore and have the luxury of visiting shops throughout the country and I am fortunate to get to see amazing parts and equally amazing technology daily. The materials, tooling and software have come such a long ways in the past 20 years, it is hard to remember writing programs by hand and using high speed steel end mills!

Ask for Miles.
He is one of my Machine shop technicians and handles all of our welding projects. He has his own company and loves to do small odd and end jobs all the way to structural steel.

Walk softly and carry a big stick! Make sure the big stick makes big boom noises and flashy bright lights.

I started off in a shop from the ground floor up, running and learning manual lathes, mills, press brakes, etc. Did a lot of fab work and tig welding as well, all part time while going to college. Dropped out due to needing to put diapers on kids and having the chance to grow in the trade. Learned to program CNC lathes by reading the Fanuc manuals and started focusing on opportunities machining completion tools. Once productive, we bought CNC Mills and I was able to learn them and started growing from there. When I left the shop. we had grown to have 22 CNC machines and I programmed each and was manager for the shop.

Opportunity came along to work as an Application Engineer at a Machine Tool Distributor and train people how to operate the new equipment that we sold as well as do some turn-key projects. This led to a move into sales in 2010 and I have had some success, basically due to my hands-on experience. I now manage our sales team as well as our Applications Department. We represent Japanese, German and Spanish builders and have machines throughout the country and the world, primarily at companies focused on oil-field manufacturing.

Sorry for the long-winded biography, but, in a nutshell, it has been a great career and I have no regrets. Hard work and excelling at a trade can take you a long way. Easy to get passionate about a trade that requires perfection!
