The Jack Links beef jerky sasquatch guy would be very disappointed
cheesiechanman
Not sure if you're getting jerky with me here... I make jokes with people that I know on this forum. You made a comment about my intelligence a couple days ago and now you're insinuating I have ADHD. You've been here a very short amount of time. With all due respect, until you know me better I'd appreciate it if you'd watch your mouth if I am the topic you're speaking about.
The above being said..
I'm trying to increase my post count. In that spirit, I intentionally engage with MANY comments on this forum. Once I get to 2500, I'll be happy!
Regarding past experiences since you shared yours:
I believe I exhibit symptoms of someone with ADHD but I have never been formally "checked" for it or anything. I got into CMM work because I have always been fascinated with robotics and it was a good way to make a buck in my area without having a degree.
At my first company, I was deburring parts and emptying rock tumblers. The company had a CMM, they sent people to training, nobody knew how to use it correctly or/nor did they trust it. It was the "$80k coffee table". I asked if they could show me briefly how it worked..was literally laughed at and as told to get back to work. I was 18, covered in shop debris, and had never seen a blueprint in my life so I don't really blame them. The shop closed at 4:00pm and I knew where the owner kept the keys..I'd stay until midnight at the CMM some nights just watching videos on youtube and running the few programs we had & did my best to read them.
I never attempt to re-write someone else's program. IF you have worked with that person in the past & you're both on the same programming "wavelength"...that might work...but in general i have found it to be much faster as well as accurate to just re-write it.
During my down time, I never allow myself to be bored. When the CMM is running I will either: watch GDT videos, read a mentally stimulating book, work out in my office, or come here and talk to you gavones!
How long was the CMM being used as a coffee table before you came around and started putting it to good use?
Also, did you ever take a formal PC-DMIS class from Hexagon or was it all self study for you?
that machine was never really utilized during my time at that company. i used it to learn on it and when I knew enough to sound like I knew what I was talking about i got a job at another place that agreed to send me to legit training for the first time.
fast fwd ten years..I have been to three "one week" courses in RI for PC DMIS and one "one week" course for Quindos. i also took a bunch of those free courses Hexagon offered during the pandemic
Eventually that fella found a job somewhere else as their one and only CMM programmer. I was happy, not my problem anymore, but I can't imagine that it worked out for him or that company. But who knows, maybe he is the sort to work best under pressure and got over the learning hump.
I'm not anywhere close to being as smart as I am wise.
