Is this just one of those "Secret" Machinist things?
Greetings and Salutations
Other day, I'm sent over to the Mori Cell in Bldg 1, and the first thing Bob says is "Okay, clear off the granite slab, get a cup of coffee, pour it on the slab and wipe it off." ?Wash the slab with coffee? "Yeah, it cuts the oil from the Komo." [The Komo has spray and chip issues. Even with shower curtains going up near the ceiling, it still manages to fling chips on our rock. Bad Komo, bad.] Anyway, I figure "WTH, he's been doing this longer than I..." and clear off the slab, pour the coffee and start wiping. It works, too! And after all I've said about building 1's coffee, you really _can_ use it as an industrial cleaner.... So, is this just one of those 'field expedites' or just something Machinists Know, which Engineers lack the hands on experience to know? tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich. as an explaination for the decline in the US's tech edge, James Niccol wrote "It used to be that the USA was pretty good at producing stuff teenaged boys could lose a finger or two playing with." |
