- What material do you cut most often?
- Biggest challenge you’re facing right now?
Bonus: Share a photo of your setup or favorite toolpath!
I’ll start 👇
I'm Trevor,
A little bit about me, I am an autodidact. Meaning everything I have learned in this industry is self taught, over many years, in various machine shops, adapting and growing as a programmer as the need has arisen and technologies have changed.
A lot of what I have learned along the way has been entirely due to good people willing to share information and not gate keep and experiencing my own mistakes when I have been too stubborn to learn from the trials of others. I say all of this as a preface, what I say in this class will not work in all situations, but it will give you a launch point to get to the next level more quickly than I did when I started my programming career.
I got started in machining through the help of my father in law, who without him helping me get my foot in the door, and the support of my family I would have never had the passion for this field spark.
I've worked in numerous shops doing everything from presetting tools, tool grinding, quoting, operating machines, hand programming, management, and CAD/CAM.
I'm currently working in a large aerospace corporation doing programming for large multiaxis Mazaks with the dreams of starting my own shop accompanied by passing on what I know and not gate keeping for the next generation of manufacturers.
I can't post any of the parts that I make on a daily basis because of ITAR compliance but here is one I made previously.
