After being an auto mechanic or 30 years, driving truck for almost 10, I decided to start career number 3. Maintenance mechanic at a local large factory. I'm going to leave the name out because what gets made there has company proprietary secrets for the products made there and I'm not to be taking pictures of anything in the plant. So if you happen to figure out where I'm at don't say. I did my best to conceal any hints. It's not important to this post anyway.
They have 2 maintenance and repair shops in plant with a large numbers of tools and equipment, which after I'm signed off on will have free reign. 🙂
I'm attaching pictures of the one of the mills and lathe there cause I want to understand the controls. These are way different than my First mill and Standard Modern lathe. I did a quick youtube search and couldn't find any tutorials for running them. I was hoping someone here may be familiar with them to give me a little help.
Thanks
