Troubleshooting is an art. But more then that it is the deference between making a profit or taking a loss. And in some dire cases losing  your business.

Making a decision takes a team that understands each other & what is expected in a given scenario. The troubleshooter Bob, makes a call, the tube that is notched hangs up after the tube is cut-off. Bob has to  decide from a host of options based on experience & vision. Vision because almost no problem is exactly the same.

Putting an angle on the tube rest can cause unforeseen problems. The force of the cut off blade can twist the tube & cause an out of tolerance part. Or  the cutting edge of the die can wear prematurely.

This is costly if an inexperienced troubleshooter or a not so good one, misses the above problems & are only found after many wasted hours.

Members of the team must give their feedback. If for nothing else it gives the troubleshooter, Bob another perspective and possibly a better solution.

You can’t afford a team member that waits for instructions. You need everyone’s head into the project. It can turn into what looks like a useless or futile exercise at times, lacking serious value. But ideas are in the air and will likely spark someone’s imagination. Tube fabrication at it’s best.
