>Build mining equipment>Everything has to be niggered and shimmed to get to work due to reusing housings and parts>Built a level wind for a shuttlecar's cable reel today where I had to put snap rings under both cup fits for the cam's bearings so I could even get it into position to shim, also polished half the head off and 1/8 inch of the threads of a bolt to get it to clear in a tight space in the housingIs anything in the automotive industry near as nigger rigged? I hope not.
Mining equipment is designed to be operated and maintained by a bunch of drunk high-school dropouts in the middle of nowhere, it's got to be as simple as possible Cars involve much more precision
>>28695594One of the first level winds I built came back like a month after being shipped out because the guys at the mines jammed it on a car it didn't fit on because it was the only one they had and they needed something to get through the rest of the shift.
as long as you can somehow say it's 'to spec', they can charge ten times as much due to the 'rigorous' processes they went thorugh to make it 'certified' for mining
>>28695587Doesn't matter how much you nigger-rig something, as long as you document that the hard-parts are worn out and need replacement - and get them to reply to that email. Then their asses are in the fire when shit falls apart.
>>28695600Pencil pushers will never understand. Stay in your comfy office and wait to be replaced by AI while real men do the job
Tbh every industry is like this now unless it's stupidly over regulated like air travel and then not even It's like free market entropy
