I'm working with WinCad, CadCad, SiCam, and Peddimat at the moment. These are the programs I know on the machines I run CNC.

Yeah, and lots of practice. Trust me though, I've made some nasty holes in parts.

Most of the welds I do are autogenous.

That's even tougher. I've never welded any stainless near that thin. I liked tigging with filler rod though. It was just fun, and I taught myself how to weld, no school. Basically my job previously before LM I considered a trade school since I learned most everything I do today there, except I don't weld now. Haven't welded in nine years now.
