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 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 pre maturely.

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 in 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.
