How do you spot a Machinist?

He/she says "This aluminum cuts like butter!"

You could also look for the bags under the eyes, haggard look, and vacant stare. It has been a long week. The new hire scrapped a couple of parts misloading what should have been as foolproof setup. Of course, after the fact I think if three ways I could have reduced the risk, not including handing him a broom. The hydraulic pump on the Haas is still acting up, but we are keeping it going with a lot of phone help from one of their technicians. I have been too busy with quoting, programming, and actually milling to think much about the CAD/CAM tips I promised for this blog, but hang in there. I'll get there soon.
