i'm about the get fired.

Whoa...yeah...screwing up with your job is really not cool...especially if no one catches it until after production has started. You need to at least double check the schematics and especially the measurements and any gaging specifications.

You're very lucky you haven't gotten fired if you have been screwing up a lot...that costs money.

Oh, i remember now, you ware a production CNC operator once (if i remember right:rockon: ).

We do plastic injection molds....I drew something up so that we can order a $40 000 component (DME manifold and nozzles).....but I realized couple days later that it's going to be .014" too long ....lucky me, we ware able to adjust the steel to compensate on our end (before the pockets ware milled).:cheer:

my pervious f-ups basicly consisted of missing dimensions....missing details...etc.

ahhhhh, i'm stressing out just thinking about it.

Yeah...that's not good. The only thing that saved your ass was the fact that you didn't have to scrap material that cost $40,000. Yep...I was a machine operator but have also set gages and done inspection having to measure out parts to make sure they were within tolerance. I've seen people get fired for a lot less than what you did.

After you're done scolding spider like a child, you may want to look up what you used to set as a machine operator in the dictionary.

The spelling can be either gage or gauge. However, it is customary in the world of production to use "gage". I used to set 2 points, 3 points, eccentricity gages, bore plugs, elliptical gages, etc.

I'm not "chastising" him...I just know the nature of his work and how significant a mistake it is that he made. I worked at Timken Aerospace...and we made bearings for the military, commercial aircraft, NASA, etc.

Oh come on guys grow up!!!!

if you got notting constructive to say, keep it to your self.

If you got a problem with somebody, put them on your ignore list, and that's that. Stay on subject or let it die.
