imschur Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's like there is a black cloud hovering over the day job. Quality complaints up the ass, machinery misbehaving in the oddest of ways and electronics failures for parts no longer available. There is always "something" going on but never like this. Getting sick and tired of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 I had 100 rounds of subsonic 300 blackout at my desk in plain view for several days. The boss while not a gun guy, he mostly gets it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Now hold on, here. When did you build a 300BLK? And, more importantly, where are the pics of said beast? Your work is making me nuts, too, brother - I miss you, in a Bro-Mance kinda way... <dontknow> :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texas30cal Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 We used to have times like that in the plant where I worked as a maintenance machinist, but we also had times where we had no real problems for extended periods of time, hop it gets better.

imschur Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Got beat up all afternoon today by the business owners for stuff that is beyond control. Really felt like just walking the fuck out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt.Cross Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Got beat up all afternoon today by the business owners for stuff that is beyond control. Really felt like just walking the fornicate out. As a rule, people will tend to walk all over people who tend to let them. Find your way to the end of your rope brother, then let loose with both barrels. You'll feel better and they'll learn that you will only take so much unjustified flak.

Matt.Cross Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Well I dont bite my tongue in the least but it's way more complicated. I can sympathize brother. My way of getting leverage on the management is to go hunt up jobs until I get offers I can take up if "negotiations" fall through, but it works incredibly well. It's amazing what becomes possible when their alternative is to start all over with someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imschur Posted September 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2013 So customer is complaining the final product we ship them is concave/convex. They were correct, I wont dispute this. My issue is management doesnt believe the product has always been like this. It's an insignificant visual because the calculations of some moves are not whole numbers. The motion controller doesnt translate perfectly and this combined with a very coarse ballscrew results in a .0006 error with every layer. When the product is at full OD the total is .080. Today I brought in two factory reps. Confirmed what i know. Were not able to correct it at the time. Management still wont believe it. I finally asked them if they thought a fucking ghost entered both machines and edited the code. Very frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on what they're doing .08 may be tiny or huge....it's all relative. :) Edited September 14, 2013 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
