Some people are just glacial. They get wracked with indecision and a lack of confidence and they get slow as hell. Some people would rather do 8 other things and do each of them poorly and do their main task slowly. Some people have focus and confidence and can just follow through on a job from start to end.

I ad N# to the beginning of every tool path ex. N10 - N200 very helpful when programs are hours long and you use the same tool in different parts of the program. ***This works great on mills but can become an issue on lathe when using canned roughing cycles*** Our machine tool rep recommended never to use program restart as its very cumbersome to do correctly. We run Doosans and one mori with mapps fanuc based control. We will just jump back to the tool path and rerun from the beginning because of the issue of not being able to pick up in the middle of the program. We will add a contour pass for a finish versus using a finish pass in a opti rough or roughing toolpath (mastercam) to avoid running all the roughing again just to comp in a finish.

I just stumbled into this podcast while searching for methods to keep our machine shop clean. There is not a lot of information on the subject. I am looking at a 25K sf shop with a couple dozen dirty machines. Easy reach areas are reasonably clean but areas like the tops are covered in oily residue and hard to reach areas below and beneath panels full of chips and oil. The roof beams, A/C ducts. electrical ducts, overhead pipes and wires are coated in black filth from 40 years of machining. Nobody's fault per se but where does one start to get such a space clean? I was also interested in your discussion about social media. We are back and forth over social media. Like you mention, we don't want to attract work off the street. We want work with other manufacturers. In fact, we aren't even hurting for work. We already process a few hundred orders a week. But we don't want to fall behind in the digital marketing realm either. So far, we have been focusing on using LinkedIn since that seems to be a more likely platform for our customer base. Lead time-wise, we have about an 8 week backlog but can push through "hot" items as fast as required (for a price). In this industry we find it is not in our best interest to turn down work. As it is, we are forced to subcontract some work to keep jobs moving. We are currently working on implementing "lean manufacturing" and hopefully moving towards "on-time manufacturing" but there are a lot of variable to consider.

I’ve used esprit, gibbs, HSM(plugin for solidworks), Fusion360, and bobs. Of all of those, HSM as a plugin for solidworks was my favorite, fusion360 is my number two. I love solidworks for its modeling and drawing space. I’ll give esprit third, but that’s when things become cumbersome to learn and use. Gibbs straight sucks, and bobs was a joke compare to the others (I know what it is and what it’s for, good for cheap). I’d love to learn mastercam sometime. Heard good things about it. Price wise, fusion wins.hands down. But that’s always subject to change given their bait and switch tactics. Solidworks is t bad. Esprit blew my mind we were paying 60k for 3 licenses and maintenance

Here's a few to look out for: 1) During the shop tour, can you smell their coolant? Huge red flag for me. Excessive odor from the coolant tanks is a sign of a poorly run and / or very cheap shop. 2) Ask to use the employee restroom while on the floor. A company unwilling to clean the restroom is typically not a good place to work. 3) Check out the cars in the parking lot when you arrive. If the vast majority are old or in poor condition, then likely the company does not pay their employees well enough.

This video was pretty good, but I disagree with the owner one. My shop is now going on 3rd generation with me in it, and I always view absentee owners as more of an issue then an owner who wants to know who his business is hiring - usually there is only 1 interview here, not 3. So the fact that the owners want to be involved with the hiring process I do not get as a red flag. I would be much more concerned if I was hired by someone and never saw the owner.

Years ago a place I interviewed at was letting the chips just fall right onto the floor from the conveyor...said they cleaned when needed...dude who was showing me around got called away and told me to look around...another guy walked up and told me to run away as it isn't getting any better and he hadn't had a raise in 3 years...said dude came back reeking of weed...told them not interested and moved on...sometimes it's easy to see it...and old tool and die maker told me the reason the grass seems greener on the other side is because it's fertilized with bullshit...that stuck with me..

My last job had non of these red flag but it was horreble and I left after a few months. My current job has a lot of these red flags and its realy nice, yes I would love to work on newer machiens but I wouldnt trade my radial drill for a fancy cnc mill. I think talking to an employe that works there for more than ten years is very importend and if they dont let you or dont have one thats a red flag for me.

The sine of an angle does not have units of inches. Sin 10 is 0.173648 since sine of the angle is the ratio of the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse of the triangle inch/inch is dimensionless ie you do not have imperial or metric sines, just a thought.

My most recent job that I left was pretty bad. I noticed no one was putting grease in the chuck every morning. I asked a few of the guys there when was the last time they greased the chucks. Some said once a month while others just laughed. And they wondered why parts were slippin or flyin out the jaws. That was just one red flag. I can think of much more to share.

And found when Manager interview a Machinist person no asking for technical skill or question about drawing, size ,chart, cutting tools ,when ask to take a tour in the machine shop , Manager walk fast should the shop but never should or talk about or should the cutting tools, holder , when coming a job to bore a hole ,dont have boring bare, o any type off end mills. THIS CALL RED FLAG ,most jobs in CANADA has poor lightning , nice office nice secretary, nice car or pick up truck ,the Company think are going down no true ,the investment no return to the work place BIG MISTAKE . Then complain and cry to the government to help for break tax , no true story the profit go away in cottage, boat, cars ,drinking, so the money income neve is enough , NO MERCY government fall . The industry still good and move the country economic. Greeting from CANADA.

in a way nothing you said was a red flag to me, as i am in the UK air con is not really a thing but we have heat in the winter, my main red flag is no radio blaring out and guys facing a machine when the boss walks past, we can all see your shop behind you when you are doing these videos, to me it looks a sh@t hole but a place i could work, i bet you do interviews as an owner is that a bad thing ? the worst place i worked for 1 1/2 days, its was clean had all the tools they bought you breakfast everyday and had a tea lady come round for you , tea lady was morning lunch , nowhere to get a drink if if you wanted one between that , no radio, and the breakfast it was a crap sandwich from his sisters cafe. it all sounded good in the interview,

I have been listening to your podcast while finishing the inside of my shop I am going to start my machine shop in. As the only machinist at my job (I work in the maintenance department at a plywood plant) it is always neat to hear different perspectives on the trade and on problems. I have been a journeyman for over 15 years (both manual and cnc at a few different shops both maintenance and production) but have been here for over 8 years and it has really amazed me how much I miss having other machinists to bounce ideas off of. Love the podcast please keep it up!

Absolutely! We get that even with production runs. Management schedules one thing and then something completely different and then back to something similar to the first that would have only taken minor changeover if those two had been run consecutively. So you waste hours of setup time doing two major changeovers.

In my opinion and experience…H.R. is the bane of machine shops. I’d rather interview with the foreperson or owner. With 45+ years of experience I’ve been turned away for lack of all M.S. skills….no degree. Regardless of my legitimate work experience, skill set or demonstrate able ability. Not to say I don’t appreciate formal education. I have done more self study than most I’ve met in shops. Give me the real time acid test any day.

Look at the vehicles in the parking lot. This will let you know if they pay well. Ask to see a coolant tank or two. If you see mold they’re not taking care of their equipment, and they don’t prioritize their employees safety. Those are my two go to’s from jump street.

i have a resume a mile long because of it. Westmoreland county, PA has FAR MORE bad shops than good, full of people just happy to have a job despite being in terrible shops. my last week at CK Composites (in 15666) will be the week of thanksgiving '24 (presumably forfeiting holiday pay) because the programmer is the worst i've seen in the field (consider my long resume), the shop has already been well below 60 degrees fahrenheit and winter hasn't yet hit, when m00s happen the tool remains 5" over the part and management will not bother telling the programmer to move it home (sending it home and jumping back into the prog is a PITA, AND i'm tired of fixing every single program in this and other ways, though i am fully capable of fixing and improving these OR hand writing programs that run circles around this slop but the production managerS think that's unnecessary), they prove faulty programs in the first piece but DON'T make extra parts with these orders... it's one of the dumbest shops I've EVER worked in (again, consider the mile long resume). these clowns machine on the faith that their programmer is competent when he proves daily the opposite (whether that be making a hole at xx.25 instead of xx.50, or failing to notice a cut go .150" past the spec for two separate features, to swapping back and forth between tools in a nonsensical way *see below*), to the point that one of the production managing white-collars decided he was gonna run parts on the weekend, he ran a >20 piece order of 4"x4"x>36" material WITHOUT checking ONE of them in way meaningful way... my breaking point was expecting me to keep showing up to run on a machine with a faulty tool changer; the spindle nearly rips the carousel off and then kills power to the machine. each recovery takes 5-30 minutes often requires a 2nd employee to put themselves behind the machine between the tool changer and it's return swing back just to catch the tool during recovery and many days this happens at least 3 times on my shift (finding someone to help takes more than a few minutes often. they'd lose less production shutting it down to fix it than keep playing this game EVERY DAY ACROSS TWO SHIFTS (but also, despite knowing of the issue, we use tools two or three times in the same program at different times despite nearly all of the surfaces being finished at the time these tools are used the first time. only one tool ACTUALLY needs to be used twice: ***MILL LAP 1, MILL LAP 2, DRILL ALL HOLES, BOLT DOWN LAPS, MILL LAPS TO FINISH LENGTHS, RUN RADIUS TOOL 2X*** instead of ***MILL LAP 1, DRILL HOLES FOR LAP 1 ONLY, BOLT D0WN LAP 1, FINISH LAP 1 LENGTH, RUN RADIUS TOOL 1X, MOVE TO LAP 2 and REPEAT, THEN DRILL REST OF SAME DIA HOLES***)... ^^^this department LITERALLY EVERY SURFACE is covered in inches of wood chips and ultra fine wood dust including bundled live machinery wires, motors, ways, ballscrews, controllers, keyboards, unused tool holders, TRULY EVERYTHING, air quality is total garbage because the workers blow the work pieces instead of utilizing the vacuum system for the shop... their most seasoned "machinist" thinks using his hand to affix parts to a traditional surface grinder is SOLID use of the vices we have around that work station, including LETTING GO of it to hold the other side as it comes under the wheel. management did nothing to set him straight or stop taking such UNNECESSARY risks. ^^^this department is covered in inches of fiberglass dust because the dust collectors DON'T PULL worth a damn, when i started wearing a proper respirator, they moved me to wood dept.
