So whats your title then..

 Congrats on the job!

The same as every one elses..."Machinist"...as it's expected that anyone under employ can walk up to any manual machine in the joint with the BP & Material in hand and...Get'er Done...however...we are loosly assigned to shifts and areas...I'm assigned to "Large CNC Turning" which involves MDI programming....set-up and running of VTL's (verticla turret lathes) for large round stock turning operations...my two machines can turn up to a 78" diameter...the biotch is...the material I get can run anywhere's from 5lbs too 5,000lbs and most of the jobs I saw this past first week were either copper berylium or 17-4ph SS that weighed anywhere's from 500-4,000lbs...the downside is that loading, centering and clean-up is a biotch....but the upside is...once the machine is programmed, set-up and running?...some parts can take 2-3 days to rough cut one single diameter...lots of @$$ time just babysitting them...get up every now and then to change out a dull cutter insert or pitchfork a bail of chips outta there but..that's it....btw....this past thursday and friday afternoon I couldn't believe my freaking eyes...we work 7:00am-5:00pm and get paid for every minute,,,but about 3:30pm?...I see dudes strolling through the shop with longneck buds...the end of the day during paperwork and clean-up time...turns out the boss man provides a cooler full of ice and beer at the end of each thursday and friday...to thank his men for a good week and a job well done....awesome.

dayum.. longnecks?!?! Thats AWESOME, only problem is, that after i few longnecks, i would wanna go BACK in the machine room and "play" around a little.. haha

Again, congrats on the job, sounds killer.
