A sure sign of insecurity. I share anything and everything I know with my coworkers. I'll still have work, and won't be as distracted by interruptions. Plus, helping them breeds a teamwork environment and that can only be good. Why do people think they become indispensable by keeping secrets?

Yep, I'll show them everything I know right from Day One. Then after morning coffee break we have to find something else to do.

there is no secret to these machines and basically all swiss machines work on the same principle. i do Citizen machines for a company and do all installs and training on the machines we sell. the machines are getting faster and faster and caution should be exercised on initial setups. use the program check hand wheel function on the Citizen machines. it saves alot of broken tools. most times machining material is machining material, so to get the faster cycle times you take it out of your dead times, positioning tools and rapids. have been running swiss machines since i was 18 years young. they are very facinating in what they can do. i am partial to Citizen since that is what we sell, however other brands have thier good points and thier bad points. if i can be of any help to anyone, then dont hesiate to ask. if i dont know the answer i will not BS you, but i can find the answer some where.
