Todays Rant

[Heavy Metal]

I can totally appreciate this rant Chris. Good stuff. We've all been there. I've been running CNC milling jobs lately and some of these jobs run for 1 or 2 hours and require tool and setup changes in the final stages...which is ALWAYS when I make a mistake and ruin the part. Never happens in the first 5 minutes!! Joe

Have you ever heard of a set-up piece Wait until you are working on a $12,000 part and the very last tool breaks You say a lot of words and try to find a way to save it. Usually, it turns out to be a piece of junk with about an hours worth of time.

Like I said, just another day at the office!!

I do feel for you Chris. It has happened to me too many times to count.
