I often get the sense that I’m in the only one here doing manual labor but I’m sure there are others.

Identify yourselves.

    Machinist here. But not just any machinist. I work almost exclusively with graphite. I’m sure you can imagine what a mess that makes. We do have a powerful dust collector that runs all day, but it doesn’t catch everything. We get covered in the dust every day. The company does have a locker room and showers for us though, so it’s not too bad. We still leave nice and clean.

      What kind of things need to be machined out of graphite?
