OT/Your favorite Machine shop "Pearls of Wisdom"

[Scott Bond]

Good Morning

I have heard these 1 liner quotes, sayings, some of which became bumper stickers and t-shirts, all of my shop type career. I would like to here your favorites. I know this is the Mastercam totally professional Forum, I am just hoping for a little machine shop fun. I am sure my fellow forum members have heard many of these favorites, but none of us have heard them all.

 

Good machining judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgment

Bad planning and poor management in your department does not necessarily constitute an emergency in mine.

Ross Perot was right,so I always say

"Strap it to the skid and let them figure it out"

 

And with smaller and smaller lead times and constant part changes along the way, I always say

"Catch it on the rewrite"
