I just recieved a mandate to automate a fastening opperation. We have to
drive two #10 x 1-3/4" SMCs to hold this handle. This has become a
full-time job, so it's a high priority and high budget because the job is
menial and high risk of repetitive motion injury.

I think Leigh at MarMachine has a screw driving setup for sale. One
of those parallelagram arraingments with a geared air powered
screwdriver fixed on the end so it always remains exactly vertical.
Operator sticks screw in hole, brings driver down, pushes button.
Repeats

I just called him. Its a tapper. Should work..but has no torque
clutch. Might rip off screw heads if you dont have controlled air
supply.

Then there is this....

"If thy pride is sorely vexed when others disparage your offering, be
as lamb's wool is to cold rain and the Gore-tex of Odin's raiment
is to gull**** in the gale, for thy angst shall vex them not at
all. Yea, they shall scorn thee all the more. Rejoice in
sharing what you have to share without expectation of adoration,
knowing that sharing your treasure does not diminish your treasure
but enriches it."
