What does the milling machine mainly do? What are its employment prospects?

As mentioned before, one of my most admired occupations is locksmith. In fact, there is another type of work that is even more powerful, second only to locksmith, and that is milling machine.

Now the requirements for milling workers are very high, because they are all CNC operations, and they are generally programmed according to the process requirements. If there is fixed programming or programming by other technicians, the milling worker must be able to read drawings and work independently in order to become a qualified milling worker.

The reason why milling workers are more powerful is that milling workers can operate milling machines and process all kinds of complex parts. They can use milling machines to process grooves and smoothness, and even mill gears and curved surfaces. With the technology becoming more and more mature, washing machines can now wash out very complicated surfaces. I used to think that milling machines could only process slightly simple parts such as plane grooves and gears. Later, I realized that milling machines can also process spline shafts and threads. It can be seen that the function of milling machine is very powerful, and the ability of milling machine operator to operate milling machine is also very strong.

In addition, in addition to operating the milling machine, the milling machine worker has a more important job, that is, sharpening the knife, which is similar to that of the lathe worker, because after cutting the metal, the cutter head will become no longer sharp. At this time, it is necessary to re-grind the cutter head with superb sharpening technology, and it only takes half a year or even longer to complete the sharpening operation very well.

The employment prospect of milling machine workers is still very good, because many factories now have milling machines and milling machine workers are in short supply. I have a friend who used to be a milling machine worker with a salary of about five or six thousand yuan, and later moved to a bigger factory with a salary of about seven thousand yuan, but the salary is so high because he can program. If milling machine workers want to develop better, they'd better learn programming by themselves. Only by mastering this and improving yourself can we be better.
