I am just another poor dumb farmer from Wyoming. This will be my third full year on the farm. I went and got my bachelors at the University of Wyoming, after I graduated my dad said they were going to need help on the farm that summer, and since I had been doing that every summer since I was 10, I obliged, and I just never left!!

['02 ws6]

What brands/kinds of machine do you operate/program??

I started on a run down manual but now I run many different brands but all using a Fanuc control - mainly Mori Seiki, Yama Seiki, Doosan, Ikegai, HAAS, all 12" or 24" chuck, bar feed style cnc lathes, but also have experience w/ HAAS mills and dual spindle cnc's.
Currently learning the perameters of our new HAAS and Okumas, crossreferencing G,M,&S codes/commands between machines is simple in our shop, but I also help with the I.D. and O.D. in our GD&T shops.

Long term, I would like to get into automotive machining. A place 2 hours from me Texas Speed and Performance has a full CNC shop where they produce their PRC heads, that would be a dream for me. Another interest are the water jet cutters, those are pretty sweet too.
