I can have a look and get back to you Monday? (Off til then.) Edited April 16, 2020 by Swarf 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, CNC = witchcraft. One of these days I'd love to learn this kind of thing. Far betterer than doing my time with a pillar drill making z1100r footrest hangers lighter.* *fucking ridiculous things. They weighed several moons and I skidded myself I could make them lighter. Nope, not really** **gave up and put gpz550 footrest hangers on, saving 1kg either side and moved pegs up & back. Improved ground clearance? Well, until the alternator cover dug in. I digress. CNC is all of the good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the stuff I do these days is pretty simple, in my previous job I ran one of these... That was a real head spinner of a machine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixerboy1 Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I guess like most things, it gets a bit boring after a while. I tend to change jobs every couple of years for a new challenge. I got bored within a few months using a 16 axis robot cutting out screens for rally cars. Cadcam has taken over, and that is basically colour by numbers, no particular skill involved. I prefer using the control to make stuff and finding ways to do things it shouldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I enjoy about my current job, it's much more hands on. Although cad/cam is starting to creep in more and more unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
