CMM inspection

I have a question
How far do you go as a cmm programmer after you inspect a part?
Do you just print a report and tell the machinist what’s wrong?
Or do you go as far as to go to the machine asking them how its cutting how it’s moving and tell them how to fix it?

  • As a former Machinist, I go to the machine and look at programs and the offset. Then I ask basic questions like, when was the last offset made, when did you last changed inserts, did you make line edits, etc. Machinists have a tendency to respect you if you show an interest in what they're doing. They really hate the quality guys that either just tell them what's wrong or just give them a bad report and tell them to fix it. I know I did!!!
