WORK EXPERIENCE
2010- Maryland USA
Currently working for a small company turning stock for gear making. Operating 2 different
t ypes of CNC lathes – A Mori- Seiki lathe using M and G code programmes and a Mazak lathe
which has its own style of programming format.
2005-2009- Worked in Australia for GOAIR Products Pty Ltd
At GOAIR I mostly worked on repairing wheels for aircrafts A330/A321 Airbuses and the
Boeing 747-400/747-400ER.
Other jobs I did there were repairs, manufacture and remanufacture of all various type
airplane parts, for example: bushes, couplings, bolts, bracketts and blocks.
Machines I worked on were: Manual regular and regular/large sized lathes, horizontal and
vertical milling machines, band linishers,band saws, drilling machines, CNC Chevalier Falcon
milling machine and Fanuc CNC lathe.
Examples of wheel repairs are, Torque Hole repairs which involves remachining original hole,
making a bush to suit, pressing in bush, drilling and reaming bush to original hole size. Wheel
Bearing repair which involves remachining original bore till it cleans up, manufacturing a
sleeve to press into the remachined bore, machining out sleeve to suit dimensions of Bearing
Cup which is to then to be pressed in. Mating Face repair which involves machining corroded
or damaged Mating Face till it cleans-up. Hub-Score repair which involves machining out
scores on the hub. All repairs are held to limits working from CMMs(Component Maintenance
Manual), under CASA(Civil Aviation Safety Authority).

1986-2005- Worked in Scotland for NACCO Materials Handling Group
At NACCO I mostly did production work for forklift truck parts using vertical and horizontal
milling and lathe CNCs.Type of parts machined were flywheels, brake-drums, wheel hubs,
steer and drive axles, transmission housings and carriage bars.Generally most parts were
machined from cast iron castings. Smalller various parts like bracketts, blocks, plates and pins
were mainly machined from various steels.
In general my duties included:
1Machining forklift truck parts using CNC milling and turning machines to drawing
specifications – involving:
o Turning
o Milling
o Slot cuts
o Boring
o Counter bores
o Drill
o Tapping
o Reaming
o Groove cuts
2Monitoring & adjusting cutting tool speed & feeds, and depth of cut
3Check part dimensions using appropriate measuring instruments
4Hoisting parts to secure to fixture, and working from a reference point
5Monitoring and adjusting coolant flow
6Cleaning of machine & fixtures after use.

YEAR 2 - APPRENT ICESH I P 08/1987 TO 07/1988 (32 Hours a week)
I spent this time on a rotation to the various areas of the plant, in order to gain an
overall understanding of the manufacturing process of a forklift truck, which is the
primary product produced by NACCO. This included hands on assembly experience to
gain exposure to the parts I would be machining, as well as a period in the toolroom,
where I was under the tutelage of qualified toolmakers, and was involved in the
machining of fixtures and jigs. I also gained exposure to the heat treatment process
used on forklift truck chain anchors here.
