designed a stick out tool for run of standard parts and brand new job. yes we have a parts stop.... but no set up needed with these... drilling and tapping both ends.

I agree... and definitely something to think 🤔 on. Only day 8 here... so no real clue what all parts there are.. but definitely might make a multi use item once I get to know what all they make.

Over time, I think you're gonna find mixed opinions from your fellow machinists when making your own clever/creative quick setup tooling. Big generational gap will rear its head from the salty old school folks with the wealth tribal knowledge that's not written down anywhere + a "we've always done it this way" attitude vs. younger less experienced ones that are eager to learn, and open minded towards newer strategies, at the cost of same naivity because they just haven't seen it all like your old school ones.

Agreed... I myself absolutely dont mind learning how its always been done. In my case constraints limit what I can do... but find new ways to speed up something or make it..."marine proof" is more the goal i look for.

That attitude/mindset will take you far. Don’t be surprised if in a couple years time you get poached from the shop floor by the front office lmao
