[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 553451, member: 25383"] One thing I do know about Remington is how they manage their tooling. THEY DON'T!! A while back I was working with a factory rep from Monarch Sidney. I'd been working with Ray for almost two solid years, and knew how he did things and also knew that Ray knew his business better than 98% of the reps I'd been around. He got a call from his boss one morning, and was sent upto New York to have a look at some Monarch VMC's and a couple chuckers. He said the machines were pretty much junk in the condition they were in. Parts comming off them were way outta spec. He went thru each machine as best he could and actually borrowed three sets of ball screws from me to be replaced at a later date. The machines were all way out of square, and all had bad spindle bearing packs. He got the machines runable after about six weeks, and they were still outta spec! Then he started checking the jigs and fixtures they were using, and all that stuff was junk. He loaded it in the back of his SUV, and took it to Monarch Sidney for a complete rebuild. Upon returning and setting the machines up they were running excellent parts (he made a lot of programing edits along the way as well.). Ray said that it appeared that Remington never maintained their equipment and had little if any ideas about programing them! gary [/QUOTE]
