Brake press and steel shear....
steel....
Sheet metal. I drove truck for a roofer. I assume you can do all the automated ones to. Yeah, hang in there and do allot of networking and you will be working for real money soon. If you ever try out this way let me slip your name to some folks.
Manual operation - few were machine operated but systems like "accupress" were and I can program them... They're pretty remarkable but difficult to calibrate with tolerances less than 1/8th.
From what I understand, they can be thumb eaters to. I knew a Mexican guy who ran one that operated in German. When they fixed it they messed up the guys process. Cool machines though. The sheers give me the creeps. I knew it couldn't get my fingers, but they seemed so close, and that "thump, THUMP was unnerving to me. The regular operator and metal bender could haul ass though. That's truly a skilled trade.
