Today at work I had the opportunity to run the big horizontal CNC machining center. The mill is the size of a small apartment. I'm no mill operator, CNC lathes are really my bread and butter. When the boss (dad) asked me to drill and tap some rolls I was a bit hesitant at first. However after a Couple parts I really started to enjoy operating this mammoth. I know that there are much larger mills out there, but in comparison to what we have on our shop floor this thing is a monster.

I love learning new equipment at work. It always seems to break up the day and make time fly by. If you don't already know, my family owns a small machine shop here in Emlenton. So occasionally you get a post about machining steel.
