Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Materials for machines. Was MDF for machines

Dear Ian,
sorry just had a nice glass of 12 year old Flor de caña.
I do like your British understatement.
My former boss always said to me:
"Sven, if I ask you to build me a reeth boat you always
build me a Bismark battleship."
(as long there doesn't come around a Hood)

Well that might be a family problem. When I were 17 years old
I rebuilt regulation valves my grandfather built 27 years before
and the clients are still happy with them.
As a stubborn Krauter I will continue with the family philosophy:
"The best available quality is just good enough!"

The same Boss before mentioned had a nice definition for quality:
"Quality is to fulfil the expectations of the client!"
That means quality is relative!

The attitude is what makes the difference.

Best of all luck.
Sven Peter
