Striking resemblance to someone in here!!!

As a follow up, I would never put any operator on a setup that could
injure them, Robin, being in a punch press environment, you have every
right to make that kind of statement,

Sure for his experience & position yes, which is where he should have
drawn the line. However he starts making wild accusations while being
unnecessarily aggressive and insulting particularly without
understanding is crossing the line to being civil.

however for a
VMC such as a HAAS VF-0, tapping a single hole in a cast part with a
roll tap would not, in my mind qualify as a "dangerous" operation, any
more than milling a small flat on a part fresh off the lathe.

Bridgeports and machines like them have been used like that for years,
with "Tapmatic" heads and such, without guards, the only difference is
the cnc is "doing" the up/down stuff.

Any body that would put an operator on any long running part that is
in a dangerous setup, where there would be a chance of being lulled to
sleep by the repetition of said part needs to examine how they do
things, it certainly wouldn't happen in my shop!

I have never given a job to an operator that I would not do or haven't
done myself. If I thought a setup or person could get hurt then I
wouldn't run the job at all or as an owner I would run it myself.

If repetition and safety is an issue as it is with any long running,
repetitive job, they have to be worked out. Some people are suited for
repetitive work and some are not.

But thanks for the reminder
