The tables were turned recently when Brandon Kiser visited his former classroom at Randolph Community College. Brandon Kiser, 26, graduated from RCC in 2005 with an associate degree in Machining Technology. One of his former instructors, Mitchell Kiser, is also his father.
But when Brandon Kiser stepped into the Machining Technology lab this time, his role was the instructor. He is now a service engineer for Jeffreys Manufacturing Solutions of Colfax and a Haas certified service technician. He was at RCC to install two new pieces of machining equipment, a Haas VF-2 CNC Machining Center and a HAAS ST-20 CNC Turning Center, and train the RCC instructors on how to use the high-tech machines. The ST-20 has "live tooling for turning and milling applications," said Brandon Kiser. "The Haas VF-2 can do multiple axis milling work. It can hold and manipulate a part in multiple ways," he said, which reduces the time to make a part and increases profitability.
Both father and son seemed extremely pleased at the turn of events. "He has already taught me some things this morning," said Mitchell Kiser. "I'm extremely proud. That's the best way I could state it."
