if you use Sense from @MorellCarson @danielmitchell and @FarbTheBuilder you can now connect it to carbon for automated data entry.

pay. machinists. more.
the line i can't stop re-reading here: never scrapped one part in almost 10 years.
it's nearly impossible to overpay for top talent.
a top machinist is 100x as good as an average one. but you don't need to pay them 100x as much to keep them
Highly paid employees vs "cheaper":
Back in 2007, Mr. Jozef, a 1st gen Polish immigrant, was relocating from NY to south and showed up for interview at my new 5axis shop.... in tweed suit & tie (leather briefcase too)
He had titanium 5axis machining experience and as9100 quality systems.
He said "i know I wont get salary I had in NY but hoping for a good offer".
I offered him $1 *more* than his NY salary.
He was stunned and teared up a little.
He contributed greatly to many of the 5 year Boeing contracts we won.
We grew from 8 people to 100, and from 850k to over $20 million.
Jozef never scrapped one part in almost 10 years before he retired. Not one.
But most importantly --> he trained many apprentices.
Many went on to become awesome 5axis machinists and some programmers too.
Hire the best.
Pay so well you think it hurts.
It will be worth it.
