Me too. I loved it, but the economy took a dump and I had to make a choice. I'm making twice as much now and I like my job, but I definitely miss being a machinist.Originally Posted by jansen

In Mississippi there's a machine shop on every corner and oilfield based fishing and rental businesses to supply them with work. The mills are in my opinion the most fun to operate. If you get a chance to learn anything on a manual machine you better jump on the opportunity! Manual machinist are real machinist!
In school we had to Learn manual mills and lathes and make parts to spec before we even touched a cnc machine, I prefer them more. Wouldn't mind owning a set of Manual machines sometime soon

I could run every machine in the shop. Surface grinders, heal(sp) grinders, manual mills, lathes, all the cnc equipment... I ran a mori seiki hi-cell 23 II, four axis lathe with live tooling and a magazine in back, which equaled 20+ tools at any given time. I ran that for three years and then ran a Fadal vmc 4020 for two years. Both machines were awesome and were very ridged so you could make some heavy cuts. We didn't use a computer to write the program, we did it manually on the machine. We also had a Haas lathe which was a POS. Something was always breaking on it. Haas mills are great, but their lathes, at least that model, suck.
That's all I learned on was haas and one fadal mill
Went in for my interview and hands on test and had a cnc mill infront of me with farnuc controls and I was totally lost, but I figured it out after a crash corse from the floor man
