    He's only made them for the Cub. Super A through 140 would be a big seller though, I'd love to have a set for a 140, we have two.

    I’m looking at possibly being a Cnc machine technician..... started looking at jobs in the area. Haven’t gotten further that this. Most of what Iv come across is M-F, company car, credit card and a possibility of learning a new career. Always diagnosing cars why not try cnc machines and tools! I’m sure you guys have some insight on this.... I know some people work with such tools :thumbsup:

    One of our biggest customers, a guy quit working there and now works on CNC machines, he's came here a few times and worked on ours. It's really not much different than troubleshooting cars with all the electronics they have these days. If you want to do it, I say go for it :thumbsup:

    I'm not big on fixing electronics, I know just enough to be dangerous.

    Funny how you can be loved and hated by the same people at the same time.

    Is it hands on training or do they send to school?

    Salary or is it by the hour I know I put in some long hours?

    Some knowledge of PLC's would most likely be required. I used to know a couple of guys that did repairs, made decent $$$ too.
    The PLC knowledge would be the big thing I'm guessing.
    A Company called Productivity iirc did repairs all over Omaha area.

    All I know right now is a buddy of mine who I just got off the phone with says he’s salary. Was with a senior tech for a month and then was by himself doing his thing after that time. He enjoys driving to each location and he likes that he’s home almost every night and no weekends. So I’ll do some inquiring and see where it goes

    Not looking good for me.
    So, I waited the 5 days after I was exposed to my production manager that had COVID to get tested. Had no symptoms during that time, tested negative. (All the while staying completely isolated).
    Was told to wait until day 7 to return to work. But was told by my GM that doctors orders were BS and if I’m negative and not sick to return to work.
    (We had a knock down drag out about this and that it didn’t mean I was out of the woods)
    So I went into work yesterday (day 6) got a lot done, but by the end of the day I had a headache and was sore.
    This morning, I felt like I got hit by a bus, called my shop and said I was going to get tested. And BINGO, day 7 was the winner, I’m positive. :ohsnap:
    I hope my GM learns a few things.
    So I’ve got 10 more days of quarantine, and my kids are going to be sad that we’re not going scout camping this weekend.
    Now I’m waiting on the fever which all of my co-workers have warned me about.:sick:

    Thanks, I’ll put the bottle of Aleve away. my wife’s getting a bunch of rations for me as I type. My only real concern is that I have asthma and will be watching those oxygen levels.


    Thanks! This stuff sure escalated quickly. I’m not one to get sick often, but this knocked me down fast!
