Just got a new job!
I am now the newest employee of Joe Gibbs Racing. I will be a CNC machinist making all kinds of fun stuff
I'm very excited about it, and thought i would tell my fellow LS1 guys/gals.

Thats awesome. If you ever decide to leave for another job, make sure you punch Kyle Busch in the balls on your last day there.

Used to be over there all the time. Dated a girl who lived in the apartments behind Rosedale.
Congrats on the new job!
Also, I just realized...you're the first person I've seen mention getting a new job in about a year.

Hmm, wonder what kind of CNC equipment you'll be running?
I've been a toolmaker/CNC machinist for the past 26 years.
I run Charmilles CNC wires, Mitsubishi CNC wires, Cincinnati CNC VMC, HAAS, CNC VMC's and Okuma CNC grinders, Kellenberger CNC grinders.
Brown and Sharp CMM, Starrett CMM
I haven't had the oppurtunity to run any of our new Mori Seiki or Matsurura VMC's yet.
I've built automotive progressive dies in the past, but now I'm in the beverage container industry along with manufacturing orthopedic implants.

All of ours at work are Cincinnati. They are quite large as they are used to make large aluminum molds. And the billets they start with are well over 1000lbs. Originally Posted by LimeNine

Probably. I'm sure Joe Gibbs was just a football coach back then....and wouldn't know the difference between a sbc and a bbc cylinder head. Originally Posted by wheeliE-maxx
