    First job killed my hireability?

    Thanks all for the advice, the book looks very insightful. Im putting in an order for it now. I have decided for the time being to keep on the job search in both areas and continue looking into school. Whichever one happens first gets the hook. I've gotten pretty far by making a bad...

    Kenat- The BOM and route setup does give me a few ideas to restructure my qualifications. Thanks! Panther- The lean manufacturing and six-sigm are HUGE buzzwords in all mfg job descriptions and that is what I would focus studies on should I go back to school. My curriculum never touched on it...

    4130 Steel and Poisson's Ratio

    4130 Steel and Poisson's Ratio

    In SW2010 there are2 values for poisson's: 4130 annealed @ 865 => 0.285 4130 normalized @ 870 => 0.285 4130 annealed => 0.285 4130 normalized => 0.320 I have found that for many materials in Solidworks they are to some degree incomplete. -Richard
