    Looking for High Production

    Believe it or not a lot of people are off the beaten path and stuck with satellite or cell internet, that is lucky to have the steady speed of 1995 DSL. 1995 DSL was great in 1995, but sucks today with data hog websites.

    OT: Is technology slowing things down?

    You do realize all those votes need to be vetted. That takes a lot more time than voting in person.

    Does a high wage employee bring more value to a company than multiple low wage employees?

    It all depends on your business. If you are doing tool room, prototype, or short runs, you better have a high percentage of rock stars. Long run production shop or an OEM can usually get away with a high percentage of bums.

    Fanuc O-T issue

    It appears to have got hung up in the boot sequence. What is the background of the machine? Was it ok before it was moved to the current location?

    Dayton 2 HP Electric Motor 115/230 Volts 3450 RPM Capacitor Start Single Phase AC Runs!

    I just asked because I have an attic fan motor in the shop where I can't seem to find anything but Chinese junk motors, to fit in that space as it is up in an exhaust vent and there isn't much of a way to alter the mounting. I am sick of changing it. I want to pay more and get a quality motor...

    Rehiring an employee who quit?

    I allowed flexible work schedules when I was an OEM and had employees, but the way things were set up it was easy to pull off. Sometimes it just is efficient to operate in that manner.
