Machinist School - Pay

The Big Money in machining is in over-time. That's what helps your pay check. To earn lots of dollars takes lots of hours. There-in lies the question, "Do you want to machine for lots of hours?"

At $7.50 an hour, you're talking about $15,000 a year for your first 40 hours.
After 40 hours, there is over-time at $11.25 an hour. Therefore, the second 40 hours pays $22,500 a year.

So if you work 80 hours a week at a base pay of $7.50, you'll make $37,500 a year. That's a lot of dollars!

Machinist School - Hand Sanitizer

A GREAT CUTTING FLUID
Hand sanitizer is a similar price to cutting oil.
It sticks to the part, it sticks to the cutter.
Because it evaporates so fast, it is a nice coolant.

Because it contains ethyl alcohol, the MSDS sheet is fairly surprising.
(Get it on your hand = OK ...... get it on your arm = wash it off immediately)

BUT .... if it accidentally got on the part, maybe it would be OK?

Keep it on your mill and sanitize you hands!!!!
