Finally someone brought this to the attention. I use to visit this forum everyday, sometimes three times a day and now I stop by maybe once a week. This place went from the best forum I new to one of the worst when it comes to new members. It seems every time I stop by top see what's new all I see is older members simply abusing the new guys. How sad.

The new south building was built 6 years ago and it's over twice as big as the old building. They use both of them now for the show.

Ug NX2 for modeling and MC and UG for Cam.

Last Bump.

Bump.

Middletown is 70 miles from Manhattan. It’s a small town with population of 26,000 The median home is around $230,000 and property taxes are around $3500. It’s an hour from the ocean, an hour from Manhattan, an hour from Catskill Mountains, 30 minutes from Jersey City and 15 minutes from Harriman State park with great fishing lakes. We are only 18 miles from Pennsylvania which has cheaper homes and taxes. Brand new house with 2-4 acres of land in PA is around $160,000 with $1500 of property taxes and only 25 minutes from our plant. As some of you know, I moved here two years ago from downtown Chicago where I lived in the high rise on 32 floor. Now I prefer the country living and just bought a fishing boat. We have over 1200 lakes within two hour drive . The second best fishing spot after Quebec Canada. If you enjoy outdoors, this is the place to be. Orange County Choppers is 10 minutes away from us, so if you don’t like the job, you can always get a job building bikes with those three. Unemployment is one of the lowest in US. PS. We’ve got couple of resumes from California and there is no way we can pay you that kind of money in here. The wage is between $55,000 to $70,000 then if the person is good with the job, usually 10% increase will be given after 6 months. After that 3%-5% yearly increase. Keep in mind that this is really good pay for this area. I was making a lot more in Chicago, but worked 70 hours a week, then after 2001 worked only 20-30 hours. In two years in here, I stayed late two times to finish a job. My title is a Tooling Engineer, you will be Manufacturing Engineer and will be working with me on most of the projects. You will work on prototypes and single cavities. I will design production tooling from your prototypes. We both will be supervised by Vice President which is in the office only on Mondays or Fridays. He is the best boss you can ask for. Pops in for few hours, makes a meeting with all engineers and leaves for a week. You are free to do the job any way you like it, as long as it gets done.

Hi guys. Before we go with head hunters I figure I will post here first. We are looking for a programmer that is good with cutting aluminum and plastic molds to join our engineering department. The job involves programming thermoforming molds for food packaging as well as doing light engineering. Example: You would take the product model from our product engineer, make a single cavity from it by splitting the solid block using the product, add mounting holes, inserts, water holes, air holes, generate the toolpath and the tooling list and pass it to the shop. 90% of all machining is done in aluminum on Makino VMC (3 axis) and require 3D high speed machining. Some machines are new and some are older. The sizes of the cavities are generally small 12” x 12” x 4”. Unigraphics is the main software used but we also use Mastercam. You will share an office 20’ x 10’ with another engineer and will be provided brand new top of the line IBM M-Pro workstation with 21” LCD monitor, full seat of Unigraphics NX2 with 24 hours full tech support. You will also be sent for a week to Unigraphics or MasterCam class every year to keep up with new releases. The company offers 100% paid medical with $15 co-pay per doctor visit, dental, life (double of the salary), vision, 401K with $0.75 company matching on a each dollar you put in, nine paid holidays, 1-5 weeks paid vacation, yearly steel toe shoes, shirts, jackets, company paid trips to local attractions (shows, sport events, restaurants). Relocation assistance is available that pays for all moving expenses (packing, trucking), hotels, airfare and car rentals. You will be paid by salary and working 38-42 hours a week. The engineering department is located in Middletown, NY. The company has sixteen manufacturing facilities in North America and has 6.2 billion in sales. Some travel from plant to plant may be required. You will be given yearly review and raise based on your performance. This is one of the fastest growing company with 15-20% growth each year. On the personal note. I worked in five different shops and this is the best place I ever worked for. It’s nothing like mold shops where one day you are busy the other you have nothing to do and you are always on the mercy of other company that may or may not send you work. Here we are making tooling in house for our own company and at best we make 20% of all the tooling where the remaining 80% is sent out. So even if the company would slow down or downsized we would still have plenty of work and just send less outside. In our industry there is no competition from overseas and never will be, not in our times anyways. If you are interested please email me at [email protected]

Looks like we are still # 1 when it comes to seat numbers. 80.000 so far and counting. Here is the link. http://www.tenlinks.com/NEWS/PR/cnc/061504_no1.htm

I just read the article on China that reminded me that China is still our enemy. With all the buisness we send them each year I forgot that they are still consider a threat. For some reason I thought that they changed from our enemy to our friends in the last few years. Guess I was wrong. Seems like they still see as as the biggest enemy even though we support 22% of their economy. Wonder why? Here is an article. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,121337,00.html I think some type of political conflict with them would be the best thing that could happen to US. Political conflict always begins with sanctions. If that doesn't happen, we will be digging our selfs into a bigger hole, where we loose the manufacturing strength and jobs while they are getting stronger and we are more and more depended on them. The Washington does nothing and our trade deficit keeps growing.

It took 9 steps in Unigraphics. 1. Draw base shape 2. Extude 3. 45 deg angle on one side 4. 15 deg angle on other side 5. 3/8 shell 6. 1/8 blends 7. first hole 8. second hole 9. third hole Little over a minute to complete.

Have to dig out some of those American jokes to help my buddy Stan. The other Polak.

I just tried paypal to send the money and the e-mail address you sent me is not registered with Paypal.

I would ask for at least $150,000 plus all the expenses of moving and if it's a contract job for only few months, the hotel would have to be paid for.

I'm positive that the guy is not related to anyone or even know any of the managers. Our company has 28,000 employees. He use to sweep the floors and change coolants some twenty years ago and now is in charge of tooling purchasing. I know that the money is not mine, but it kills me to see so much of it wasted and mine honest quality shops working three days a week and his shops working Sundays.

Please set up Paypal account. I'll gladly send some money.
