My NDA has lapsed so heres some pics of a part I was making for a on going Nuclear Reactor plant construction.
Nitronic 60 steel alloy. Cuts like diamond but sure does leave a purty finish.

Familiar with the area and used to hunt on the Pfingsten ranch years ago. Live in Anthony and have a place in the Upper Canyon which unfortunately was extensively damaged in the floods this year. Hobby shop and fabricate sliders for 4Runners for friends and others who see mine and want a pair. Really nice work in your post.

There is a sort of a class for that. Mfet 1210, machining principles. Sometimes makes them think they know more than they do. Required for Manufacturing engineers and mechanical engineers. I took mine spring of 2006 along with alot more machining classes. Attached current class requirement list for Manufacturing engineering production operations and controls emphasis (my major) and Mechanical engineering.

I are a machinist working towards manufacturing engineering while working full time. Been a grinder for the last 8 years, lathe for many years before that. Working as a machinist since 2006 except for 5 years, 2 of which was as a full time missionary. Taking 10 hrs a semester I should finish my degree 2030ish.

There have been many times I have seen new engineers and told them take your design to the old machinists and ask them what they think. Then shut your trap and listen.

I remember those classes, but they were back in the early ‘90’s. What helped me was working in the Campus Farm Shop and later as a Machinist Lab Assistant. The other big help was becoming the engineering department for a manufacture and working closely with the machinist making the tooling we used. HDPE extruders and tubing dies were interesting to work on.

Now I’ve been doing road construction projects. The Ag Engineering background has helped here too.
