Turning 4140 half hard

Where I took my apprenticeship, nobody was allowed to bring in his own measuring tools. If it had to do with measuring, it had to have a calibration sticker; certification good for a year. You could keep tools in your box overnight, but you only had 10 tool chits total, so most days you'd end up standing in line at the tool crib for something or other.

These were job shops in upstate New England. As I remember you had to check your mics against a standard with the foreman looking on. The company furnished anything larger then 2 inches.
