jacobhawkins Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Shop I work at is in need of a toolmaker. Not a machine "operator", someone who knows how to setup their own work and get it done. Minimal oversight until the part is finished. Should be able to run manual mills and lathes, surface grinders, form grinders, some CNC mill/lathe work would be nice. Wire EDM and waterjet experience would be great. We mostly use HAAS CNC mills/lathes, have a Mitsubishi EDM, Jet Waterjet and I draw/program in GibbsCAM. Please get ahold of Mike or Steve Plahuta at B&G Tool Company at 614-451-2538. I'd be happy to answer questions, but give Mike or Steve a call if you're up for the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted November 19, 2015 Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I know a good programmer but he lives in dayton. I'm too new to using powershape to apply anywhere. but I can operate and setup cnc routers and cnc machines. a little lathe and mill work. still too new to be hired anywhere else. we just do more wood stuff than metal which is why I am looking for a new job. I hate working with wood. apparently carpenter is the same thing as a woodworker to them. I knew nothing lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted November 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2015 I was just about to update this, we got a new machine in last week and I'm behind. Mass amounts of experience is not needed right now if you show up and work hard. We need people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anden Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I was almost interested, till he said work hard!Looking at that wrong. The hard work goes into increasing cycle time, and a good solid setup. For example put as many vises as possible in/on machine. More is done at once so you get more time to fuck off. But in all reality I would see your long cycle time and ask you to do something else too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentracer Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 I love (sarcasm) the place I work at...they keep cutting wood and metal in the same machines. so I get to clean it out all the time. idiots. absolutely 0 thought passes through their peabrain heads.
