Summary
I've got lots of experience operating several types of lathes: Scherer, Fuji, and Murata. I'm very detail-oriented and capable of keeping up and getting into the groove of working in a production capacity. Very often I have to inspect my own parts depending on the machines I run, and have to make adjustments to positioning or fine offsets in order to keep producing good parts. As a result I have also done plenty of troubleshooting and basic mechanical work on the various machines that I have experience with.
