For the Engineers among you!

Postby bob adams » Tue May 20, 2014 11:07 pm

I had a photoshoot at a precision engineering outfit today!

Kid in a sweet shop comes to mind, four hours I was there, I wonder why!
Made my gear look like a corgi, no a dinky .. in fact let’s not go there!
Parts made for Bosch, the off shore industry, deep sea exploration etc., mind blowing kit!

Thought I would share these two pics for the tech guys among you!
The brass parts are not complex but they took a good picture! 8-)

Great machines - sadly put a lot of machinists out of work, but it had to come. You can't stop progress and they do a superb job of consistency, quality and speed.

Fascinating to watch as well.
