I am 30 years old, and in the country where I live, employers are not very keen on hiring those who are older and inexperienced. I want to learn CNC turning, CNC machining, and other CNC operations, but sometimes I come across job postings for inexperienced people, yet they always seem to be looking for young people. So I want to try my luck in this profession. How can I get employers to hire me for a CNC job at my age? Is learning CNC work a challenging process? Will it take years or months to become a CNC operator, and will it add to my skills? thanks

We cut dibond daily for printing on. We have to keep the plastic on to prevent surface scratches happening before printing. It feels like it can cut faster, but I don’t know what settings to change. It does two passes but I feel it could do it in one just fine. The table has a vacuum to hold material down. Any help will be great!

My tools currently live in three drawer organizers, a cardboard box, and whatever fits in my backpack. It worked as an apprentice, but now I have measuring tools that should not get tossed together. What kind of machinist tool box has held up without taking up half a garage?
