if you were to do it , then no better time than the present , the amount of work out there is rediculous , i know a few guys who have bought machines and are feeding off the overflows of other places , they have their plates full and they are just leetching work at this point

[ZenOrbit]

Yeah, the shop I work in now is like that.

As was the one before it, and the one before that...

I can't help but wonder when it's all going to dry up.
Everyone's saying that manufacturing in Canada is going down the tubes.
You think that's all just B.S.?

manufacturing in Canada is going down the tubes.
You think that's all just B.S.?

the amount of work we have is stupid , we are beyond our capacity and have been for a good number of years , so
it's not going to happen anytime soon in my opinion , if i left my job today i'd have a multitude of places to roll my box into tommorrow

How long have you been doing this type of work?

[dertsap]

How long have you been doing this type of work?

since 95

[ZenOrbit]

Yeah, that's a while.

Would you say that the average wage of a CNC guy has gone up, or down?

[dertsap]

it's gone up without a doubt , the competition to get or keep competent people is to our advantage .
i don t plan on getting rich like this but i am living quite confortably

[ZenOrbit]

Yeah, I've got nothing to complain about financially.

And, I'm kinda glad I don't have to quote jobs.
