Worked closely with scientists and engineers in a pure research environment.
Machine parts to close tolerance’s (.0005) using a variety of materials such as inconal, stainless steel, macor, molly,
pure copper .I created one of a kind on parts produced on manual lathe's, cnc knee mills (Bridgeport EZ track), 
and surface grinders.
Programs were written using EZ cam and utilized canned cycles on the machine for smaller programs.
