Hobby Machinist Sacramento, CA
I am looking for hobby machinists in the Sacramento, CA. area. I cannot find local resources for mills/lathes/tools and education in the area. Anyone interested in starting a machinist hobby club?
E-mail "[email protected]" Looking forward to hearing from like minded home shop machinists in and around Sacramento, CA area.
No Interest in Machine Technology
Our community college is shutting down a 30 year old Machine Technology program. :withstupi
I wonder if there are plans to outsource the rest of the trades as well. How long will it be before we’re all obsolete? The only interest these days is in Academics and Degree programs. I wonder how many PhD’s it takes to run a lathe. Maybe NC Code belongs in the Computer Science department. - Lets see now, 2 semesters of G-code and one semester of M-code? - Tool Paths 101 and Advanced Tool Paths 200? - Maybe we could take Metallurgy in the Art Department, that's where the welding equipment went.
It looks like we're on our own guys! No one needs to learn trade stuff at college - but they still want more of our money - (for academics). I guess only PhD's, MBA's and BA's pay taxes. That's a bunch of BS'ers. :boxing:
