I worked aerospace at my regular job up till last year. JSC took a major hit with the cancellation of Constellation, and our company struggled for a long time before starting layoffs. So now I am back to oilfield work. I run a Mazak Nexus 450-IIM currently, but have run a plethora of machines including the EZ trac mill and EZ path lathe.
I run the motorcycle parts on the side at home as a way to finance my obsessions. Since it doesn't have a tool changer, I usually program all features with the smallest endmill I will need. Longer runtime, but I can walk away and let it run. For instance, make a part called a clutch tension reducer for the VTX1300. I can set the machine up with material and a .1875 endmill when I leave for work. It will run 24 parts while I'm at work. When I get home I load it back up, and let it run. Before bed I load it again. 72 parts a day for 20 minutes worth of actual work.
