I entered into the world of CNC Machining in 1991 as an apprentice for British Aerospace. After a four year apprenticeship I spent the following 26 years programming, operating and setting a full range of CNC Machines, including Lathes and milling machines. 

I specialise in programming FANUC and Heidenhain machine tool operating systems up to 12 Axis.

My main roles involved hand coding at the machine instead of using CAD/CAM software.
