I'm a machinist.I'll be out of work for the next couple of months recovering from shoulder surgery.
20+ years in the industry,i've spent the majority of my life running a small shop that specializes in building "skunk works" type projects with machine tool companies.Did some work for HAAS a few years back.
I'm bored stiff and would jump at the opportunity to offer my experience as a technical advisor,free of charge of course,to get your project done.
I can still click a mouse
Replicable tolerance,or repeatability as it is commonly known in the industry is determined by many factors.Frame rigidity is a major one.
Pm or e mail me if interested.

You poor soul. I am sorry.

Funny I am contemplating shoulder surgery myself. Must be a trade thing.

I was insinuating I was sorry for him being a machinist.

As far as the shoulder thing that sux's and sorry for that too.

LOL Lu. Our upper echelon, the one dim wit we have , wears knee pads, and I am surprised he can figure out which side they face. thank god I work nites with no nit wits

lol there are times when i'm sorry too.
For the most part though i love what i do.We are a prototype building shop,guys on the floor work with the engineers(or should i say nit wits)designing and building one of a kind machinery and components.The big boys call it outsourcing
No repetitive production machining is done there.Something new every day.
An awful lot of plugs and custom reel repair parts are made during our slow periods,we all love to fish.
As for the shoulder,injuries go with the territory.20 years of locking down lathe chucks and vises coupled with lugging steel will eventually tear something.
