when you type in the job Diameter in the rotary axis control box is there a way that stays in there for the next tools?? i have 13 tools going and each time i re enter the same number, just seems like there might be a way for that number to stay there until that program is done. i do cut and paste that number in each time but would be good if that number would just saty till i am finished this program. TIA.

stupid question i know but what is the closest airport to fly into??

the job is still open, when i put that direct link in it comes up as filled. nave no idea why but it does. anyway bottom line is it is still open i promise. Gore has two campuses on each side of Falgstaff. and two "main" shops, one for each campus. Also we have several smaller "satellite" shops. this job is for one of the smaller satellite shops. Is out newest shop with all new equipment about 5 years old. And yes would rather not have to work at all but since i got to I can't think of a better place to work than here. The job is here in flagstaff at 7000 feet so no escaping the snow here.
