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

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.
