He has though shown to be a shady business man. I remember the first NHRA event ever my old boss qualified #1 and we went to Endyn's booth to talk shop. Larry proceeded to basically threaten us that his sohc supercharged civic would own at the time one fo the fastest turbo cars in the world this was back in 00 car was a 9.40-9.60 car. Larry said he would beat this car on street tires. I left that conversation that the guy had been making bullshit his life and how he approached everyone in general
Oh ya he was also running his business out of his parents basement for many years while he was in his 50-60's talk about success :1

Re: Want to buy a TOP MOUNT
They don't want that, they want people who know how to run the machine, no shop is going to train an apprentice right now.
I figured there would be a test you can take to verify your knowledge, like an HVAC service exam.

Re: Want to buy a TOP MOUNT
We don't have Unions in the South, homeslice.
If you can operate AutoCAD you can run most CAD/CAM software packages. They generate the code for you. It's been a decade since I programmed one, but back then you sometimes had to tweak a program for the peculiarities of a certain machine because lightly crashing a tool holder into a chuck easily equals a quick five figure repair bill. If the gear/software is of the last 5 years, without me actually knowing one way or the other, I'm going to say it's more user friendly and is somewhat idiotproofed.
Your best bet is to take night classes. A two year diploma program will typically have you on manual mills/lathes the first year and the CNC stuff the second year.

Re: Want to buy a TOP MOUNT
That's what I figured.
I think I'll just take that and welding at Valencia CC, apparently it's top five trade school for Florida.
AutoCAD is easy as hell, and that's before going through the outline and operations manual for it.
Joseph go in chat. ok?
