I know what you mean. I sell precision tools when I'm not building dies
and
we get funny tool names and odd requests for tools daily. Keeps life
interesting.


Its one of the reasons I love going to work every day... You NEVER know
what you are going to get on the other end of the phone...

My favorite other than the chicken switch was a guy asking for a 9 spindle
drilling head for a Bridgeport... 8 in a bolt circle around 24" diameter
with the 9th in the center, running 50% slower and with through-the-tool
coolant. I answer the call and the first thing the guy says is, "Can I get
an amazing problem solver from you guys with 9 bits of drilling power?"
LOL!
