Hello,
I've been running 3 CNC machines at a small manufacturing company for the past 8 months, mostly pushing the green button and I recently got the chance to focus more on learning g codes and hopefully learning how to do the set ups and programming, I didn't go to college so what do you guys think is the most important thing to learn?
We work with aluminum and zinc parts.
Just recently we lost our programmer so maybe that's why they want to train from the inside, It's also a family owned business my dad is part owner, his not around much but anyways I’ve heard that 80% of learning is doing it hands on? The company has 20+ employees but only 2 in the CNC department now that the other guy left.
I'm 25 years old and love working with CNC machines I did shipping and receiving at the same company for about 5 years and other repetitive jobs but I think I like this the most.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum... Thanks again this is my first post looking forward to many more!
