Hello From NEW MEXICO

Hi everybody,

Marcus here, 12 year Machinist with experience in HRSA and SNM machining. I’ve worked for two major Aerospace companies and local national lab, as well as few smaller oil field shops in-between. My machining career started in production, but work these past 10 years have been prototype and short-run jobs. I work smarter not harder so I’m a CNC’er mostly but if needed open set-up is never an issue. I’ve seen and ran both conventional and non conventional (wire/Sinker edm) machine tools. My daily is a mazak integrex j400. She’s a dream. But driving this Mazak means WORK :weary: I dont know what else to really say haha.

So nice to meet everybody. Keep on making chips!

You wouldn’t be working near LANL? We had a great engineering division at Los Alamos, you know the type, Sheldon clones for engineers :smiley: The company was called Hytec Inc., before it merged with IMTEC, then bought by 3M.

LANL is about two hours from me.
I’m actually with NNSA, I make chips for Honeywell FM&T.
LANL haha yeah they are a “customer” of ours from time to time,
NM is home to the two national labs so you deal with a ton of engineering projects.

Both large shops and mom & pop shops both see a ton of work coming out of these types of places, along with the technology and prime defense companies that set-up shop to support the labs as well.

Hey, how’s it going? We need to make a group for New Mexico. I see groups everywhere around NM but no representation here. what would it take to start a group?

I don’t have the resources to offer the facilities, but I am willing to offer my time. I have experience teaching a university machine shop class. It’s not industrial experience just a class to teach engineers basics for their CAD. I’m not the smartest or most experienced, but I am willing to put the time in to fight for manufacturing.
