Is it true that after so many years of experience (I believe I read 10) that you can file to be exempt from the FE/EIT exam and only be required to take/pass the PE exam? If that is the case, and I only really need a PE towards the end of my career when I can easily be canned and forced to...
Found this from Alro Steel, for anyone still interested.

I'm a fresh-out-of-college mechanical engineer that got hired as a manufacturing engineer. I was wondering if a P.E. license is worth the effort for someone like me. From what I've seen of the F.E. and P.E. exams, it's rooted deeply in theory and text books. I'm in a job shop getting my hands...
MintJulep, probably looking at paint markers/pens rather than paint cans.
ornerynorsk, thanks for saving me some research.
I appreciate all the feedback I received from this thread, I really didn't expect this many responses.

I haven't looked into longer bar feeders. I know most of the machines are equipped with the 3' bar feeders. Changing the bar feeders to accept 21' seems like I'm enlarging the scope a little too much for this particular project. The goal, now, is to overhaul the material storage and...
ornerynorsk ...wow. And I thought this was bad...

This is the system we currently have, I know some of those materials aren't currently being used, and I don't know where we got this system from. ...there aren't enough hours in the day.

My first step is going to be to re-identify how many types of material we see coming in through the door. Since some of them are smaller diameters (1/8") I can't see a steel stamp working out in that situation, although I like the idea. And I don't want to create two systems, one stamp and one...
As far as diameters, we're going from 1/8" all the way up to 3". Judging by the current, not used anymore, sign out in the shop, there are 18 different designations. I'm not sure how many we still process on a regular basis. It looks like between 9-11 different mild steels; 6061 and 2024...
Did you mean mention the Dremel/scribe idea in front of the saw-to-length staff in order for them to pick back up on the paint identification scheme? If so, I laughed out loud at that.
I can bring up getting the bar stock in 3' lengths when it arrives, but only being here a month sort of limits...
The problem with the bar stock, and I forgot to mention this, is that it's received in longer lengths (12', 20', etc.) and cut into 3' lengths upon entering the plant. Therefore I need to implement a system where all the new 3' lengths are marked upon coming off the saw.
We do have a sign in...
I've been looking around, with no success, for a published standard or at least an industry accepted standard for identifying bar stock. I worked in a two man tool and die shop in high school where the amount of bar stock we went through was so low that it could easily be tracked by simple...
