Default Mill choreography

I did 18 mill operations in less than 2 hours including set-up time. This
by changing the way I do my drawings and visualizing all the operations with
the thoughts of reducing set-ups, minimizing tool changes, laying out the
tools and parts and figuring the correct order of events. With my old BP
and methods I guess this would have taken close to two days! And, every
operation was within two thousandths. Think/cut!

So, after all that outrageous productivity, I took a little nap at my desk!


And just how much extra time did all that prep take? :-) :-)
