Almost the luckiest escape. (method I used for removing broken long series drill)

Hi Bill
unfortunately I have 40 years experience but I do agree with you about the time spent before designing items. However I do feel responsible for the error as I didn’t check for myself. I don’t change a lot for doing odd jobs as it gets reinvested back into the workshop. Fortunately (and I don’t want to blow my trumpet) when doing private work things don’t go wrong. But a simple error like this just checks the complacency that is there and reinforces the old saying check twice cut once!

You still work with the data you have. Your guy told you it was THIS way, and it turns out it was really THAT way! Had that happen a few times, too. Fortunately for me, not on something irreplaceable. Yet. But it could happen today.
