Whats the pay rate?

This would get 20-25$ an hour in seattle.

There are no machinsts here.

Heck...I got guys with ZERO experience applying for my machinist position.
I'm afraid to put in an ad for a programmer....

I just fired a guy what told me he was a machinist. Scrapped two jobs. Told me all his problems with those two jobs was "bad programming" That had been run 7 or 8 times each with no problems.
What is it, people think I'm not gonna know they are lieing on their app???

Can't make a part on a manual machine. Can't figure out how to change a chuck on the lathe. Don't know what an E collet is. This guy looked at me all crazy when I toldhim to use an F drill in tool 8. Asked me what the heck size was that. I told him it's .257 and he asked me why they don't just call it a .257 drill...

Puts the collet nut on over the collet and jams that in the holder.

Where's Boris' hammer?????

I think it's Solar's boss looking for someone who actually does machining instead of just surfing the Web.

Sorry Solar, da Devil made me do it.

Jim:

What is an "E" collet? Did you perhaps mean
an ER collet?

E-mergency. Machinable to suit the job. Unless it means something else to CNC machinists?

Stephen:

Well that certainly makes sense. I must have been thrown off when PBMW talked about "Bad Programming" and where he said "Puts the collet nut on over the collet and jams that in the holder." Which is what can happen to ER collets if you don't know what you're doing.

The "Emergency" collets we have are limited to 5C collets, I haven't seen any "Emergency" DA or ER collets. Not saying they don't exist, just that *I* haven't personally seen any.

when I started the trade many moons ago, I was put to work on a hardinge lathe and we held everything in an "Emergency Collet", below is a write up about emergency collets, it gets down to the basics!!

Yes, E mergency collet. I have them for 5C and 16C
The guy stuck an ER16 collet in the machine by putting the nut over the collet. Idiot...
He told me he was a machinist. Now...to me, that means I can hand you a print and you go make the part. CNC, Manual. Whatever you need to do to get the part done. This guy flat lied about his skill and thought I would be too dumb to know.

Maybe I can start a Mr. Slammy Association over here.

I know. We can have a monthly dumb operator award, and call it a "Slammy"

PBMW · Oct 28, 2006

Here's a handy little link to a couple of CNC operators tests to evaluate applicants to help determine if they will be future "Slammy" award winners

Jim:

The term "machinist" is not well, or universally, defined. Operators with 2 months experience, drill press operators with 8 years experience, and mold makers with 30 years experience, might all be called "machinists" depending on your perspective. "Journeyman machinist" might be a more informative term, but since there has been a lack of formal apprenticeship programs in recent decades "journeyman" is probably not a frequently used term anymore.
I suppose giving a prospective employee a print to make a test part that won't destroy any tooling or machines might be an option.
