Machinists ?
Any other machinists here ?
I have been a manual machinist for several years now, strictly manual, I hate the CNC stuff. I was wondering if anyone else here is a machinist ? I have access to several lathes, mills, presses, bead blasting and sand blasting equipment as well as presses.

I was a Tool Maker for 20 years. Now going back to school to be a Network Administrator. Never ran any presses, but made and fixed lots of Dies and lots of smashed parts for them. I only worked at one place that had presses. All the other places we made automotive/computer (connectors) and surgical stuff.
I ran manual ram EDM's for about 3 years then went to CNC. From then on it was strictly CNC Rams or Wires. I am pretty good on a grinder, as I have always had to design and build all my own electrodes and fixtures for the rams that I have run. I can hold my own on a manual mill. I am deathly afraid of lathes, but can do enough to make simple bike (custom Harley) parts. My dad has had his own shop for 20 plus years now. You never realize how much you used those machines for your own stuff until you have to go ask your dad if you can use his.

I wish I could afford and had a place to put a small lathe and bridgeport mill, with those 2 pieces of equipment you can build anything.

I run both manual and CNC lathes and mills for 30 plus years. The CNC mill I run has up to 4 different axis. I do program the CNC part when needed.
Both have there good and bad points. Lately I find myself running more CNC lathes because of the repeatability factor. I rather run a manual lathe or mill....lack of time doesn't allow me use a manual lathe.

Went to school for manufacturing engineering, somehow ended up in civil engineering.
Still have a Enco benchtop mill/drill with plans to convert to CNC and a old Atlas benchtop lathe that I tinker with when I need small custom parts.

Ive been a machinest now for 16 years. I can run and program many types of cnc machines to make just about anything. I am curantly running and programming a 6 axis double spindle lathe/mill with live tooling. It has two c axis, x,y ,z and w. It will turn, mill, drill, slot, keyway, tap and have a complet part done with no secondary operations. Manual machines do have there place in the shop but are mostly for tinkering. In our shop if we need a custome piece made or a prototype I program one of the cnc's to do it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
