How many machines do you own again? How many employees do you have?
How many legal seats of CAM software do you operate? How many jobs
have you had in the last 3 years?

Jon,
While you claim you have to figure out design intent and are
arbitrarily hacking and whacking customer supplied models so you can
machine them per your previous posts Jon, what EXACTLY does your
engineering department do?

Shit *always* rolls down hill and lands on the tool maker in this
business.
In my experience engineering departments are just as under-the-gun as the
peons on the shop floor and it's up to us peons to catch and repair that
which was missed or done wrong in the engineering department, or a
better way was found. And it's not just our engineering department,
we're always saving our customers bacon so-to-say and they appreciate it
very much.
Last week while working on tooling for the ultrasonic testing of turbine
blades I worked right around an obvious mistake in the design without
asking questions and produced tooling that actually did the job. Had
Joe788 made it, since engineers are never wrong on the planet he lives on
all the tooling would have done was get tossed in the scrap bin.

So... if you could choose any nose in the whole wide world,
We don't have an engineering department. Our customers do.
If there's a problem on the print, it's typically been discussed
before the quote was even submitted.
Fixing obvious mistakes is quite a bit different from dragging and
dropping features all over the part with ST, while trying to figure
out the customers design intent.
Shipping parts that are not to print is a good way to lose dock-to-
stock status as a supplier.

I know how manufacturing works in the real world.
That is why I am spending money buying machining work.
And real machinists make the parts per the print.
You are a self-proclaimed incompetent boob.
If you changed/modified any customer parts as you chose
(outside print specifications), you would not get paid due
to the 100% rejection rate. Paying customers would stop
coming to your shop (hmm, is this your real life ???).
And that would put any place you worked out of business....
Spot on.......
JB obviously doesn't do any aero/MBD type stuff.
Making willy-nilly changes to a part so HE thinks it will work will
get his contract booted so fast his head will spin. Oh, I see he
already has....
Now blacksmith parts, that's a different story.
I can see the PO now....
"Engineered, re-engineered, modified, and scrapped by JB."

LOL.....sure does.
Agree with you 100%.
I differ with Jon is when he lies about his job to make a point.
I disagree with Jon when he says "HE" has to determine customer design
intent and that "HE" has to make arbitrarily change to customer
supplied solids without communicating with his engineering department
or the customer.
Everyone should be concerned with making a product better, faster,
easier and for less cost. However when I or anyone else in
manufacturing have ideas to improve the product and want to recommend
changes it is ALWAYS OK'd by the customer (engineer/designer) FIRST.
There are lots of times I have called a customer or engineer when
quoting or getting ready to run a job and ask for instance, if they
can make the corner radius in a pocket 1/4" instead of 1/16" and it
will save them $xxx.xx (with GE we would split the savings 50/50).
However if the customer declines and say they have to have 1/16"
corner radius I don't want someone on the shop floor arbitrarily
changing it without checking as Jon says he does.
There are always exceptions to the rules. Building test benches,
in-house tooling vs. customer designed tooling is often the exception
if they guy making the changes is experienced and trusted, however I
don't want some apprentice making changes I want the best guy on the
floor making those decisions.
I have worked with both types, the know-it-alls that
don't-know-anything and the really good ones that would discuss design
with the manufacturing department and ask for input and ideas before
they made or "completed" the design.
One particular engineer when making revisions would change the part
number so the rev. level was A or B so he "wouldn't look stupid". Same
guy I would call upstairs and discuss a part, he would "verbally" OK
the cost saving changes but refuse to change the controlled documents,
print or model. So what I we had to do was send him an email have him
reply and send that to QC with the part so they would accept the
parts.
Where I disagree with Jon is when he represents himself as an expert
on programs I use and he obviously doesn't even have a beginners
knowledge of them.
I enjoyed reading your critique of MasterCAM but not the constant
ramblings of Jon the perpetual CAD/CAM malcontent wannabe.

We prefer to warn the customer and ask for a new revision release.
Legal stuff.
And a new released model helps with verifying the toolpath and post
manufacture inspection (we don't do one offs).
The customer is bound to pay for what he asked for, so no model
altering.

With products like SpaceClaim, UG 6 NX or Solid Edge with Synchronous
Technology it doesn't matter. Keep your design intent... I don't want
it. All I want is a way to easily modify your model assembly if I'm
requested to. SolidWorks, Pro/E and other parametric history based
products make life miserable if you have to deal with imported non-
native geometry or if you have to deal with someone else's design and
modify it.
It does me no good if I'm requested to modify the model / assembly and
I can't because the software sucks at dealing with imported, non-
native geometry or at trying to figure out what someone else's design
intent was so I can modify the part / assembly.
I call people like Matt Lombard, Tom Brewer, Joe 788 morons / idiots
because that's exactly what they are.
