Sounds like where I work......

Different specs, same results. That's business in a sole propitiator shop now days. Owner hires friends and expects experienced employees to drop 20 years of knowledge into someone's head in 20 minutes.

The production mgt did spend a lot of time watching and learning how the CNC machine operated
When the CNC operator quit the PM could load and unload a block and some initial setup.
However from there he spent a lot of time on the phone being walked through the probing and
Matching process.
However he has now crashed the machine and will cost $7k to fix it.

Oh well couldent happen to a nicer guy.

When AP Green was 1st getting into refractory gunning plastics, Charlie and I were invited to a BIG meeting and when a VP said something stupid, Charlie said bull-shit and that was the last meeting we were invited to!

We watched them lose over a $1,000,000 and the possibility of a lawsuit before they did it our way! Took about two years, but it works now!
