They needed two and I put all six within tolerance.

I'm taking the high road at work and doing as much as I can of the tight tolerance work as I will be leaving before they have my replacement.
you're spoiling them, should have sent that one to the grind shop!

Yes, it is a grinding tolerance. When I run that job, all questions are asked before I start. The entire shop knows when I'm doing those parts, "Jeff is CLOSED" ( as in leave me alone )

Wish you the best Jeff!! I'm sure you made the right choice.. Change is good most of the time.. Plus if you leave on good terms i'm sure you could go back at a later date if needed!

All your cub buddies are behind you!!

Good luck in the new job. It takes good skills to hold that on a machine and I am sure those will be missed! I worked in a shop in the 80's that was not heated well and no ac. Seemed like the machines were happier in the spring and fall. I know I was.

Congratulations Jeff. In your meeting with the "big guy", you demonstrated restraint, respect and class.

All the best.

I'm taking the high road. I'm doing it to prove I'm a bigger man than he is.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
