Okay, let’s tackle this. So Bryan has a mix of manual and CNC machining skills, which is a good starting point. However, his location in Beaumont, California, is a bit of a concern. The cost of living in this area is relatively high. Considering his skillset, I'd say he's below average in terms of CNC machining rates. According to Glassdoor, CNC machinists in the US average around $40-$60 per hour. However, this can vary greatly depending on experience, location, and industry. Since Bryan's skills are somewhat niche (e.g., Wire EDM, Mori Seiki Cnc Machines), I'll estimate his rate to be on the lower side of the average. Maybe around $75 per hour, considering his location and the fact that he's not a senior machinist with extensive experience.
