I agree, there are 100 ways to skin this cat. Ive made hundreds with no issue in the same lathe.

3 clicks on the mics and its good, industry standard. there has to be something...
i like the idea of the tapered pin, but i dont have the room at the bottom of the bore for this. there is a smaller thru hole.
air gauge would be nice, maybe ill add it in to the cost and see if they change their mind
Exactly my experience this far. the customer has had a bunch of turnover and im afraid this is the consequence.

5 years is probably at the max...im getting the feeling 2-3 based on some of the conversations we have had...in this time i need to clean up some of my own finance stuff and learn more about the financial side...
its good that I have my ear to the ground so to speak with the guys in the shop and how things are going.
I will not be able to continue doing all of it very much longer.
i am sending a younger guy we have to learn mastercam and i figure he can do 80% of the programing once he has a good base...
we rent somewhere around 10K SQ feet in an industrial park, building connected to one other business .
7 mills, 10 lathes, all owned except for 2(plan is to have these paid off in the next 2 years)
we do Aerospace, medical and semiconductor with a few defense and small arms sub-tiers.
