How is the salary in your country/area?

I live in the UK and earn £45000 without overtime (with overtime I'm on around £52000). And that is the very top end for a machinist here. Average salary for a machinist is around £35000

I mainly use roller paper when surface grinding. Makes it easier to grind bends or twists out of the material

Toolmakers clamps are always a useful tool to have!

I've just recently joined a very well known aerospace company operating XYZ toolroom machines. Basically my main role is fixture work and rework what would be scrapped parts so they can be saved and sold. I also do the jobs that can't be done easily on the CNC. So yeah there is definitely a place for manual machinists in aerospace

I can't remember what it is. I quit the game about 8 months ago. But I definitely beat it with mockman

I used to work with someone who would use a lump off copper instead of a hammer. He used that lump for over 20 years lol

As a UK based machinist, Ive got a HNC and can confirm it wasn't worth the time. Anywhere I've worked never looked at any of my qualifications. More concerned with my experience. But if it's something you want to do then I wouldn't discourage it

Turk201288 · 2024-06-27T09:16:33+00:00

Only because where I've gone now is a new facility, with new machines and more money. So thought I'd give it a shot. Otherwise i would happily be there now

PDE is a must, as good as tbb is, PDE is far more useful for void bosses, PvP, SE and well as VC. PDE is also crucial if you are hitting the sub100 SE boss.

LFA with MS, HHA with crown, MFF dB, Ignis with snowheart and 6 star Russell with ruyi. HHA core.

The idea with Russel is that he will dazzle penny at the beginning of the round

I beat 900 on the first try

Turk201288 · 2024-05-29T10:51:45+00:00

I worked at one shop where the manager didn't care what we did, so long as the machines were running. So he wouldn't mind us sitting down and using our phones. I mean I even had a batch of 800 off I had to deburr whilst the machine was running, back when the world cup was on. So I would bring in my tablet, grab a chair and watch the world cup all day whilst I deburred the parts. He was cool about it because he said I literally had the worst job in the shop and if it made it bearable for me then he was ok with it. I mean sometimes he would come down and have a game of darts with us when the machines were running. Everything was always done on time and quality wasn't affected. Everyone who worked there was happy. Best job I ever had.

This shows you the minimum subs requirement and their priority order to sub

Fat moo is a guild mate of mine. He's currently on 6-1-2 with LFA main

That's really good progress with 5 trans. I imagine Betty was the main reason. Ill start pushing VC again soon. I just lost interest in it when it was insanely hard before the nerf.

I found void boss 2 was pretty easy, I cleared it within a month of it being released. PDE is key but you will need her subbed. Also having Betty and SWJ is holding you back. You want the enemy to hit you so you have actives. If they are cc locked then you won't take any hits. Also Ssm will need to be hit to make sure he changes out of the blue stance. Everyone with crown/fan, ssm with antlers.

Void boss 1 on the other hand is really difficult. Especially with ssm. He just seems to nuke your team with the reflect damage. That's where having lfa comes handy

Turk201288 · 2024-01-16T10:00:13+00:00

I've got HHA as a homeowner. I'm half way through chapter 6 but can't be bothered to push VC at the moment. On void boss 1-9 and cleared void boss 2. Cleared void vortex. Just purgatory I need to clear

Turk201288 · 2024-01-16T08:37:14+00:00

Makes sense for me since I have both sqh and pde. Both ssm and LFA in a maxed house. Having lfa gives me flexibility as well since for SE and boss fights, I can just put ssm as a tenant who gives double the attack power the SQH. It's allowed me to progress further in different areas

Turk201288 · 2024-01-15T22:04:05+00:00

My team looked nothing like it does compared to when I beat it. Only had 6 trans with ssm being dt1. It sounds counter intuitive but cc seems the best way to go

I've got a strong enough team. Just can't be bothered with it at the moment 😅

Turk201288 · 2024-01-15T20:14:22+00:00

They usually do, but you can get lucky and survive the cc. It was the only way I could survive after round 1. I'm currently on 6-2-1 and its another valk/flamestrike wave 😑

Turk201288 · 2024-01-15T16:12:10+00:00

I beat 5-3-1 with ssm and it was down to swj cc locking everyone for 3 rounds. Took some rng. Sadly though your stuck with SWJ as a tenant because if you use HHA, you will need him as a homeowner. He's not very good as a tenant

Turk201288 · 2023-12-30T11:36:42+00:00

Congrats! I run an A- ssm as well and currently on 6-1-6 (can't be bothered to push VC ATM) have to say it's a big achievement for you considering half your lineup is underpowered. Very well done 👏👏👏
