Comments from attendees:
Parts are what the front office sells to customers, but chips are what we produce to make those parts. In this session, Miles will challenge you to reexamine your machining practice by learning to see and understand what the chips that you make are telling you about the process. Vocabulary of chip types, conditions and how to apply in your shop.
