well i have been layed of and have been looking for a job. well to day i stoped at central utah tool about having some heat treating done. as talking to the owner i thought obout asking about a job. well i did and he was like "by chance i am looking for some one" he told me he has 2 tactal rifles at a show and expects 1000 orders a year. and also he has a knife design he would like to sell with the rifle. so i would be making guns and knives :D:D. thay have EDM, CNC o man :).
 
he asked me what i was making and i told him 12.00 an hr. then he told me i would be making tons more than that with full benafits that i dont have to pay for. o and i get 2 weeks payed vaction. thay make.
Dies, Hobbs, Gages, Broaches, Step drills, Form tools, Port tools, End mills, skive tools, Mill cutters, Indexable tools, and Jigs & fixtures. can we say dream Job :D
 
Now you can make contact and idle wheels and send them to me so I can get my grinder going.
 
and how bout a set of countersinks for all the nice little folder screws like button heads in 2-56, 4-40 and 6-32 so i can get to making frame locks and nice looking scales on my liner locks
 
Cool JT. I hope it works out well for you. what kind of rifles are they building ??
 
im so excyted, i would do it for free if we did not need the money :D.

Just trim heads down a notch..,use 5/32" drill with tip ground off to start countersink,then switch to 5/32" end mill.thats how i do it!

congrats Jarod..,sounds way cool!
 
JT I believe it was you that once said God was watching out for your family. I guess he just proved it huh? that sounds like an awsome job, and the right man for it.

Funny how things work out like that isnt it.
