Turret lathe tooling and fake carbide

[theeddies]

I was Project Manager on a high profile multi-million dollar construction project. What are your chops there chump? I love how people worship and get defensive about objects and companies that they like. Absolutely juvenile.

Edit: You know what? I wasn't going to write anything else but the spoiled children have pissed me off. Sandvik nearly killed multiple people on my jobsite on two different occasions, then lied about it and falsified documents after the fact. But you keep right on insulting people on internet forums because you have used a company's product in the past. Forget you.

Here is the other persons comment that worked in the heavy equipment division
"It was crazy. Under-designing load bearing parts, major suspension linkages (also under designed) snapping and nearly killing people, no engineering stamps on anything, they forged certifications and paperwork on structural drawings.... they would actively not pay vendors and subcontractors and then they'd try to sue everybody within a 10 mile blast radius. You need a team of Philadelphia lawyers just to clean their office bathroom. Just a garbage company."

That was actually my comment that I posted on Youtube the first time I had watched your video. So you really only have my word on the matter, and perhaps the sales rep you were speaking to.

But suffice it to say the job I did for Sandvik was one of the worst of my career. However I will go on to say that they had a very bad reputation in the area, and we were warned multiple times not to take the job (which of course stupidly, we did). This was a number of years ago, however I will also go on to say that if you do a bit of research (which unfortunately I cannot provide a link to) they recently had another major safety incident because a Sandvik designed machine collapsed mid-air while an operator was in the operator cab. There were no fatalities.

That's ok, I think there are a lot of fan boys that don't realize that just because a company CAN produce good products does not mean they cannot still be a **** operation. If I ran the company, I would care about all the fakes or rejects out there and take all measures to prevent it. From my limited interaction they don't seem to care which does make you wonder about the corporate culture.
