Cnc Jobs – 50 States


Jobs can be difficult to find these days.
 
I’ve put together a list of all 50 US states, that I hope will narrow down that next cnc related job.
 
This list of states will narrow down the search on the Indeed.com website. I’m looking for work myself, & have searched a lot of sites, I just found Indeed, & have already found two local cnc job leads.
 
 
Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas
California Colorado Connecticut Delaware
Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho
Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas
Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland
Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi

New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York
North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma

Search Google - for Music


Google is great for searching out webpages, but did you know Google will search for music, video, or just about any type of media? I’ve used the search string hacks for a couple of years now, to find mp3 music. That’s all fine & dandy, the problem is all those long search strings start getting annoying after a while.musicsearch

So anyway, a while back I was doing a Google mp3 search, & came across a site that will let you enter only the info you really care about (song title, etc…), at first I thought hey this is kinda cool, then I got to searching & thought hey this is GREAT!

Why is googlemusicsearch.com so great, well first, after you do a music search, you get the usual looking Google search results, here’s the kicker, at the bottom of each search result is a link “scan for music”, what this does is scan the search links for mp3 files, without ever leaving the search results page, then displays the results in the same search results page, & provides all the mp3 download links, all without ever leaving the search results page, now that’s cool!

Google does not own the music search site, they only provide search results.

CamBam – Creating New Layers


In this tutorial, we will add a new layer to a single layer dxf file, inside the free version of "CamBam [Beta 0.8] Rel 2". I am working with Design21, a free dxf file.

1) Open CamBam (this will start a new project)

2) “File / Open” (This will open a windows prompt) select a dxf file on your PC, & click the “Open” button.

3) Right click on the “Layers” text in the Layers Tree (Left side of the screen) CamBam Tree

4) In the properties pane, rename the layer, & change the color of the layer (the screenshot below has the properties name changed to “Holes”, & the layer color changed to “Lime”)LayerProperties

5) Hold down the “Ctrl” key on the keyboard, & “Left” click to select multiple dxf objects in the drawing area.

6) “Edit / Copy” (this will copy all the selected objects to memory)

7) “Left” click on the “Holes” layer we created earlier (make sure the “Holes” layer is highlighted)

8) “Edit / Paste” (this will paste a copy of the dxf objects we selected in previous step)HolesLayer

Note:

We now have a new dxf layer, a few things to mention, If you “Right” click on the “Holes” layer in our example, you will have a few self explanatory options (Set as Active Layer, Hide, Show, Delete, Clear, Select All on Layer).

When finished with this example I deleted the default layer “0”, so I wouldn’t have any duplicate layers/vectors.
