03 - Quicker Steel Drilling

http://www.dbp.org.uk/cs/DBP00070.pdf

A tool is only as good as the workman who uses it.

A simple change in the layout of holes, produced a significant time saving in the manufacturing process.

Do you understand your tools.

Is the design and manufacture process linked?
