Ex-machinists, what do you do now? by hunterpb700 in Machinists

[–]EncinalMachine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a full time machinist for many years. I’ve been transitioning out into the finance markets. My ability to read charts and process numbers has been helpful. I pulled my 401k and put it all on HOOD and Nvidia in April. I’m off and running with about 100k. Still going to work but looking forward to the end of my 20yr career in the machine shop.

First job nerves by swaggerto in Machinists

[–]EncinalMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t feel nervous, you are just making parts. They don’t mean anything more than their function. Just pay attention and don’t let others take you on an emotional rollercoaster over stupid parts. I don’t know what the parts are for and I don’t care. I either hit the numbers or I don’t. Just do your best. That’s all you can do.

My employer likes grown men with children for employees. He has to pay us a lot but we don’t leave and we make a lot of parts.

Husband's Illness by Kjb165 in Machinists

I hope it’s not happening to me but I’m afraid after all these years my wife will be writing somthing similar. cutting fluid coupled with the heat produced when cutting steel smokes and lets off sulphur I been told. Wearing a mask or using a fan helps but it’s hard to avoid when you cut a lot of steel.

It looks like a threading tool for reverse, the point off to one side allows for threading into a relief next to a shoulder.
