we'll prolly do more complex projects further on in the book, i did one with a bunch of circles but thought two photos would be too much mindfulness

you can do much more with MasterCAM also, i bet that program you use it hard to learn

It's too bad you need a degree for this crap. Im sure you can teach urself more playing with that program on the weekends than youll learn in 3 years.

the professor told us to learn on our own because just the class time isnt enough

thats why the school hooked me up with a learning edition for my laptop

ill most likely get hired once I finish as a CNC operator since thats what the degree is actually in and those are the jobs hiring the most. i doubt ill get hired to create part files in MasterCAM only before proving I can machine them myself

so thats why the school offers the degree in machining and just adds in MasterCAM 1 & 2 as courses and not degrees in that itself.

That sounds like one of those jobs to be the first to go as computers/ai tech improves. Is that a concern for you?

CNC programmers have a great future in Connecticut. the manual machining jobs are gone because computers (CNC machines) took over and do it perfect without human error..(atleast i assume). ill be a CNC programmer & Machinist when I graduate. heres is more information about CNC careers...

DwnWthVwls cares about my well being and future....

probably wont make as much money as you big dog , if you're doing some CAD related job..

CNC programmers learn G-code, really easy stuff to tell a machine what to do. ill take MasterCAM 1&2 but my professor said most people dont get hired to just do masterCAM stuff at first. the companies want to make sure you can do the basics first like manual machines or CNC machines.to be honest also, ive only be at the school for the year, dont know everything.

thats what I did last night and broke a machining edging piece :/ it broke off and stuck into my wrist bleeding along my arm.

cant wait until we get to the CNC machine and let the computer do the work. trying to manually cut off .005 or .010 from a block and get it to certain size.. is difficult if you only touched the machine that does it for about 3 hours total lol. i got some extra help understanding what "squaring the block" meant

Ha ha. It’s done that for a while. I tried to time it so people might see it occasionally but then not be sure if it actually happened.
