Its Sunday night here. I'm going to take licence and tell a yarn. One of my mentors, been dead for 15 years. When he first started out, he'd take on all and any work. Some of which was government, up to and including jig boring type work. He used to tell me how he got away with it, by not moving the table. but by moving the work via Jo / gage / gauge blocks. (I'm bi-lingual when it comes to precision). All of it with a bridgeport.
Seems to have worked, his company is now one of the premier engineering companies in town. Run by his sons and grandkids. Up to and including. You know how the Aussies are called Allies. We bought a weekends worth of production of that F35 Joint Strike fighter plane. Quid pro quo (And even I didn't know i could speak Latin.) We have a certain amount of engineering going on around town.
