  • That's blasphemy! My CMM (program) is NEVER WRONG!! are words a good programmer will never utter. Most dimensions can be verified in one way or another. Some 3D geometrical features are not so easy but can be figured out with a vivid imagination and some surface plate knowledge.



    Poor wording on my part, do you have the resources available to verify the CMM results manually on the surface plate?

  • I was just messing with you on that.

    When I got hired in here (the 1st time) the engineering manager asked me what I would do if someone questioned the results of the CMM. My response was that I'm not perfect though I strive to be and if someone questioned the results I would find a way to hard check the part. He later told that several other people that were interviewed did not have the knowledge to measure what he used as an example and were not hired because of that. I learned part measurement working on a surface plate.
