I was a machinist for one and a spot welder & assembler for another. I now work as a System Admin for a custom shop

Oh wow, what shit did you make that used spot welding?

AK's

Sounds like sheet metal guns to me.

Ah.

Makes sense.

and also worked on some CETME's as well

cute

You know, those fabrisonic machines would be great for making spot welding heads that cool better.

need to love those proto HKs

I did CNC lathe and drill used EDM Wire machines

for when I was a machinist

JESUS, what high end shit do you use EDM for?

*did

breech faces

breach*

@Grump The Horrible Did you ever use an EDM diesinker?

maybe?

not 100% familiar with that

EDM is often used for the final dimensions in injection moulding tooling.

ahh ok

You get a finely machined copper electrode in the shape of the final part.

@Grump The Horrible Wire EDM I think https://imgur.com/gallery/9avPrem

That's carbon steel.

I only had 2 years doing machining. prior to working doing that I had never done machining

woah!

nah thats perfect metal work .P

Tolerance of 0.003mm

^

that is perfect that must be down to the .00001"

you can do that trick with every material at those tolerances

still magical 😛

I do IT stuff now. I am getting a degree in Mathematics tho

Oh nice.

still grinding away atm

I need a job that will finance a family so I am trying to work at that

What kind of job would that be?

Cyber Security to cryptography

doing*

Are you going to tell all your clients to use AMD CPUs, whose security floors aren't anything close to the hilarity of Intel's?

(And are getting really damn skookum, great value.)
