Preferably Alberta or British Columbia, Canada.
I started machining in July 2007, undergoing on-the-job training and completing a course called ToolingU that was a decent starter course for the beginning machinist; tooling and work piece material, programming, speeds and feeds and GD&T.
At my first shop I ran a few manual Bullard VTL's, manual Warner and Swasey turret lathes, CNC Warner and Swasey SC-20, SC-25 and SC-32 lathes, and a Toshulin SKIQ-12, a CNC VTL with live tooling. Line by line programming with Fanuc and Allen/Bradley controls.
Approximately 4.5 years later I received a job offer with a significant raise so I went for it and ran a Mazak HMC along with a Mazak HTL. Mazatrol 640 controls. After about one year on the job the mining industry tanked and took most of the jobs at this company (including mine) with it.
After a short period of unemployment I found a local shop that employs machinists in a maintenance capacity using manual lathes, mills, grinders and presses along with a few CNC machines. We are brought broken or worn out components and are responsible for tearing them down, machining new parts and re-assembling said components.
Machines I currently set up, maintain and run:
Mitts & Merrill hydraulic key seater
Various radial drills
Bridgeport knee mills
Monarch engine lathes from the '30's and '40's
Bullard VTL from 1917 (yep)
Warner and Swasey turret lathes
LeBlond engine lathes
Various hydraulic presses
G $ L HBM
G & E gear hob
Thompson surface grinder
Norton OD/ID grinder
Mori Seiki SL-35 CNC lathe (Moric T-5F control)
Fadal 4020 VMC (CNC 32MP control)
I'm hoping someone in the above desired areas may be looking for someone with my skill set. I am a hard-working, married father of two who is looking to provide a safer, happier, healthier, better educated life for my children than they may be able to attain here in the U.S.
Cheers,
Jed
