You give up Christmas rights when you have young ones. It's why I have been putting it off. I am still to selfish I guess.

Interesting video on U tube, hadn't a clue what these were

It's so he can make all these lovely parts like Strut Braces. We have three at work, they are the size of a house so he might have to move but it would be worth it.

We use them to machine Torque tubes for AMG and Aston Martin.

Ha ha that would be very handy. Just think what I could do 5 working axis instead of just 3. I have a barn out the front of my place maybe we could just fit one of it little brothers in. What dose one of the go for 250k? Probably more.

What do you do Srhutch? That machine makes my old deckle look silly!!

 

[srhutch]

Think they are close to £1 million each now.

I work for http://www.hpcengineering.co.uk

 

[Machine monkey]

Got any jobs going? Bet they pay better than oxford uni!!!! What's your role? We have a tiny micron 5 axis that cost 250k not cheap are they!!!

 

[srhutch]

Well I did an apprenticeship in manufacturing and precision engineering and got an HNC, but somehow got into IT and as a result now IT Manager with no IT quals what so ever.

 

[Machine monkey]

Did the same. Dint get a hnc the company I was doing it with went tits up. So I had to Finnish somewhere else and they where not keen on me doing much apart from working and earning them cash. So left there and gave up on engineering. Went back to it when I joint Ox uni best thing I ave done.

Sounds like you have done well for yourself buddy congrats
