  • @welshboy118 Welsh, I'm a manufacturing engineer for General Atomics Aeronautical Systems. ( look up the company to see what we make) There will always be a need for your talent....at least well within your own lifetime. My suggestion to you would be, use those skills you currently posses and add to them by embracing Cad Cam. You will run circles around those that don't have manual experience under their belts and just start off with computer aid.

  • So if gears are zapped out so quick via lasers and have little if no human labor involved, why are they still so damn expensive?

  • @lordcapucino Are you a retard hater?

  • hahaha amazing beats

  • keep cranking those gears laddy

  • 5 dislikes, hahahahhahahah haters are retards

  • @welshboy118 There will always be a need for tool and die makers but you will likely be using CNC more and more. If you plan to make a career out of machining, you may want to check job listings to see what's in demand. I was a tool and die apprentice at 17 some 30 years ago. I didn't end up staying in that field but ended up doing IT work for the last 22 years. You never know what opportunities will pop up and what you'll end up doing. Enjoy the adventure, it goes by too quickly.

  • @algae1000 Happy Birthday a day late. Sometimes the art is in just making your own cnc machine.

  • Amazing what a CNC machine can do, but the videos that show just the machine running without showing anything behind the scenes is becoming very boring. Talk about the programming steps, or something that shows your skills and creativity, rather than letting a machine program do it for you.  Where's the satisfaction in using CNC? Perhaps the problem is me because tomorrow is my 65th birthday???

  • humm im a toolmaker im 19 and i only use manual machines e.g. milling, lathe etc some thing tells me there aint gonna be any need for me in the near future :/
