While it is mostly anecdotal, misfires seem to be an issue.

Yeah, I have to agree. All that time wasted because the business owner
didn't think to have an extra part on hand. Who'd ever want to prepare
themselves or their business in case of something like that? Just think of
all that time wasted. It must be worse than an employee hurting themselves
on the job and having to go for extended workman's comp. And it would
certainly be more time wasted than having to hire a replacement employee
and
taking the time needed to train them to handle their job.

Thankfully, that employee will now never be able to hurt themselves.


Of course, all that probably wouldn't happen because the injured employee
would probably sue at some point and the business would likely be shut
down
because of legal costs, fantastically increased insurance premiums and the
initial loss of business because of the injury.

Yeah - it's just a real problem. We can't seem to keep businesses open
because of the daily injuries and the resultant loss of production and
inevitable legal fees. In another twelve days or so we won't have any more
production wood shops left in the United States.


But, there's a solution. The business can move lock, stock and barrel up
to
Canada. We're not so quick to jump into court and tie everything up for a
considerable period. That is the purview of the US citizen. We have better
things to do than support a growing army of personal injury lawyers. Up
here, we like to feed them to the sled dogs and make a tidy profit selling
tickets to the event.

That's true but it's hard for Americans to adapt to holding that "We're
better about everything" that Canadians are so well known for.


However, I digress. We were talking about wasting time. Let me wrap things
up by saying that it doesn't make any sense at all to invest in a
relatively
expensive tool for a business but neglect to factor in a few critical
spare
parts for when the employees take their lunch time hot dog and decide to
test out the new machine.


That's it. Keep a room full of spares on hand for those times that the
machine misfires due to a yet unresolved design issue.
