The Women of CNC

I am working on a new article and am looking for success stories about the success of women  as CNC machinists, operators, programmers, supervisors.

If you have a good story or comments on the subject, comment on this post- I will review for content and if applicable use anecdotally within the article.

Suitable posts will be approved for posting on this blog “as is.”

Of interest are things like:

  1. How did you get into the trade
  2. do you like it
  3. Do you feel your pay and treatment are consistent with male colleagues
  4. would you recommend the trade to other women
  5. what were your barriers to entering the business of CNC
  6. what training do you feel women should seek to succeed
  7. success stories (what did you overcome, achieve, etc)

  1. Hello David…have you written this article? If not we could help..

    • Carol,
      I have not written the article. You are the first to respond. I would love to hear your comments.

  2. where do you want me to enter my story. I’ve been a manual machinist for 32 yrs just in the last 3 yrs the company I work for finially got a CNC and I’ve been teaching my self to program and run it. I’ve had a little help from the 3 day class they send me to at Hass and the guy that was programming and setting up our machine gave me alot of help but I do on my own now.

    • Thanks for the response. I will send you an email with instructions for submitting your story. It is more private that way because I won’t publish any details without your permission.
