Re: For FRC Student Machinists

I'm not so much a hands on person when it comes to hammering.... err fine tuning things. I personally like using the CNC Mill that we are very lucky to have. I really like cadding the item and programming the mill and watching it do exactly what I told it. I almost enjoy using the cnc and watching it do all the work (that I told it to do) then actually drilling out every bearing pocket. Don't get me wrong, I love to work with the manual mill and I sometimes enjoy the bandsaw, not so much anymore when we can send freshmen to do that, but really seeing a near flawless piece that you just programmed a machine to make, makes me feel very professional and good. That's just me, someone else on our team is a hand tool freak and a welding freak who isnt exactly best friends with the CNC.
