So I started working at my new job last Monday. I feel like I could retire from here. This is a link to the web site. www.orion-corp.com
We manufacture hydrodynamic bearings. I came here from a really crummy job shop that didn't pay crap, making two or three hundred parts an hour. At this place its more like one to 10 parts in a ten hour day depending on what I am doing. Some of the machines they have are absolutely enormous. Most of the real giants are Horizontal mills. I was training on one Monday and in order to blow out the chips I had to climb three stairs and walk through a door to get into the machine. Once inside I walked around on the way covers like they were catwalks.
I feel like a Machinist now, The first shop had me wondering why I went to school. Check out the website we make some crazy sh1t!
