Great advice once again. This is just another reason why I love ths forum so much.

 

Now if only one of you worked in a shop locally and I could get hired there to work with you and learn!

Like your sig Ron, I always aim high so if I fall short it's not that bad, aiming at your "target" and falling short, is. Your post is a great inspiration to many and falls on deaf ears to some.

I have done that already. I contacted Todd. I am hoping they can find me something as I keep looking

I'm self taught on Mastercam also bro. You pick things up a lot quicker if you just play with it. Unfortunately for you I don't think you will get too much play time but don't panic. You still have us to help. I started just programming basic 3-Axis parts and slowly worked my way up. A couple months later I'm programming complexed 5-Axis parts and didn't realize how quick of a jump I had made until I stopped programming for a couple months.

 

Don't stress it and keep playing with MC.

 

Good luck.

Turk,

Ron has it on the mark.

I used to be a college teacher in mechanical engineering, self taught in all CAD/CAM/CNC stuff. After a few years, the challenge of learning new stuff was fading so I decided to start my own business.

No steady pay, no insurance, vacations, medical leave, office, equipment, co-workers ... nothing but a leap of faith in my ability to make it work.

Became a Mastercam reseller for about 8 years where I learned a lot of CAD/CAM/CNC stuff, but also in HR, finance, managing people, negotiating with customers and so on.

If you're job security lies in your own abilities, I beleive you're on the right track.

If you depend on others for a living - it can fall short on very little notice.

BTW, never had a 5 axis machine to "play" with on a day to day basis but I've trained many, done posts for many, banged my head on the wall a few times, but all in all, always managed to figure things out.

Have luck with your search ...
