how your job has chainged so far this pivotal year....

Change has been the norm. The place I'm at edm'd everything in december, now in july, everything is hard cut in the mill and lathe. The edm and wire guys were working 60+ hrs and the mill guys 45-50, that has flip flopped. In fact I was hired to eventually run the edm stuff, 6-7 months later and I havn't ran any of it yet, no need, no work back there. They have really tool'd up in grinding, and cnc milling, and have neglected the wire and sinker edm's. Man hours was the big expense, now its endmills and programming time. Iv'e retooled up personally, and find myself buying tools for the mill, like I did when I first got into the trade. Talk about coming full circle. This year is a big change from where I'm sitting in the moldmaking industry.
