>Hi Bruce
I get the best of both worlds, I have to make the jigs and fixtures to make
the bit that some "engineer" (as in yestaday I cudnt spel enjunear, now I
are wun) dreams up, without a clue how to make things and what is involved
with tooling for it . Then I get the other engineer who can't get the new
issue bits to fit the previous issue tools (which still have to exist for
spares orders) and hasn't read the process sheet to check what tools he
needs!

Somehow this turned into an "engineer bashing" session. Well here goes
A friend of mine who worked for a motor manufacturer told me of a
"manufacturing expert" who worked up a method of saving significant money
in tooling and manufacturing time by making the motor laminations out of
aluminium.
