A day in the life.... of a job shop machinist.

[@leebarnhart831]

A good job shop machinist is worth his weight in gold. Standing there and taking on any and everything that come thru the door is a little different than making the same part on the same machine day in and day out.

[@georgemartinezjr]

At lease doing the same part is already . Set 'up And know what to expect

[@Fatt_Tony]

I love it when odd stuff comes thru the door. Invaluable experience right there

[@machiningtom9862]

NIce! Always alot going on in a job shop.

[@PizzeyTechnology]

Nice to see an everyday task being done in a working shop.

[@tomte47]

If you still need a radius in the corner this would be a a much easier job on a cnc, just lay them flat and mill that contour with a feed mill, an hour tops for the first part and then less then 10 min per part after that..

[@squigmontlucas6150]

The prototrak is a CNC even though it's an older model

[@resipsaloquitur13]

I suggest a more beefy shoulder mill. If ya got one...

[@micahggaming]

I’m bout to start high school and I’m going to take college classes I was looking at this video for in case I want to apply for this position can you give me your thoughts on it

[@farii202]

This is great if you want to get into some type of engineering work. There’s lots of specialization work that stems of from this field. It’s a great line of work that pays just as well to those who seek the opportunities available to you. Good luck!

[@micahggaming]

@@farii202 thank you I really appreciate the comment have a blessed rest of your day

[@mitchellcollins7370]

Stainless steel is not magnetic. Easy way to tell .

[@fbussier80]

Ferritic Stainless Steels (409, 430, 439) , Martensitic Stainless Steel (410, 420, 440) , Duplex Stainless steel (2205) are all magnetic.

[@gunnathurdy8269]

Wrong.

[@Hasselroeder]

Not all! They even can get slightly magnetic due to the working process!

[@georgemartinezjr]

There is one S/S steel that is Magnetic out of 40 different Series of Stainless steel it not use for alot

[@resipsaloquitur13]

That’s the most conservative op I’ve ever witnessed. It’ll work, but we’ll be done by tomorrow lunchtime.

[@squigmontlucas6150]

The length of the end Mill and the diameter is more than enough for the width of cut.. definitely can double the depth of cut and even increase the feed..
