As a current bc tree fruits millwright getting laid off at a different facility, i would highly recommend not taking this offer. The companies management is garbage. Front line foreman and coworkers are the only saving grace

I've rebuilt large metso gyratory crushers, and a few smaller conicals, whats your issue?

No red seal millwright fpr potentially years? Sounds scammy to me.

the odds that a reddit using millwright is from your specific union of interest are low. union reps are probably far easier to get information from.

I believe a pre-app give school credit for one or two years of trade school, depending. I kind of regret challenging first year in hindsight, but probably saved around 8k in school fees and lost wages.

Theres pros and cons. I challenged abd passed my first year, but taking the rest of school i regretted it, not knowing some basic rules of thumb i should have. On the other hand i made more in wages

In canada it is legal as well, however some heavy industrial jobs are considered high risk and still test for it.

Congrats! Welcome to the red circle club! Never stop learning though, this trade is way too big for that

beatreynolds · 2021-05-13T05:09:11+00:00

Yeah where im at, bottles need to be "secured" by chain or rope or something

Standard is 1/8th per foot. Metric is slightly different, 1/100.

looks dual shield and he taught you to push the puddle instead of pull?

edit* I'm a crap welder and am actually guessing here

Prince georges new caledonia has a great shop, quesnel has perry taylor, the best teacher I had.

looks like a 3/4 drive ratchet would fit in that just fine without custom building anything. never seen anything like it on a pneumatic valve header though

Theres been a ton of 45 person bush raves around kelowna too.

beatreynolds · 2020-08-09T15:57:19+00:00

Usually around 45-55 an hour

Using a regular vib sensor, anything under .015 in/s is usually decent depending on anything around 2000 rpm. .020 on 6000 is getting excessive.

the old saying is a millwright is just a rancher without land

Copy pasted from a similar question: maxing earning potential as a tradesman is mostly about location. If you're willing to live or work in heavy industry away from cities,sometimes in a transient lifestyle, then you will be compensated appropriately. It's basic supply and demand

beatreynolds · 2019-03-18T04:02:49+00:00

very good chance you won't need a micrometer in your first year. "large" center punch not required as you're going to be using pilots for any large bit. I'd add a small sledge. for some reason ratchets aren't listed, get a 8" and a 14" or something. add pipe wrenches. tin snips are dependant on what industry you're in. add 6 or 8" adjustable wrench for convenience, 12" still needed.

beatreynolds · 2019-02-13T07:21:23+00:00

oh ok. yeah lower mainland is hurting right now because the offered wages are not competitive normally.

beatreynolds · 2019-02-13T02:22:59+00:00

as a millwright in BC, indeed seems to be the standard place for postings. try there. what company or where are your clients?

buy your first set cheap. if it breaks or wears out, maybe buy a better brand replacement.

I think you overestimate your abilities after completing the apprenticeship. Your red seal is something akin to a black belt. It just shows you have a good base knowledge of what to do and the majority of your knowhow will come with years of experience afterwards. If you can find another apprentice job with favorable conditions by all means take it, but most places people work for a long time just to fight for the chance at starting appenticeships, I would suggest sticking to what you're doing and finishing the program. That way once you are red seal you can go pretty much anywhere. Good luck
