A few years ago I took a farm metal working class at work (Cornell). It was a basic course that is a prerequisite to the more advanced course I really wanted to take. I had a lot of shop experience and was twice the age of the kids taking the course and thought I could breeze through. On one of the first quizes I got a quick lesson on the dangers of thinking you are smarter than you are and the value of preparation because i blew the very first question which was worth 20 points.
The question was;
List the five basic rules of drilling/tapping/machining.

Take a stab at it. I'll come back later and give you the answer. If now one gets it

It is soooo easy that I couldnt repeat it verbally, it is second nature...like walking and chewing gum. I have been a toolmaker for 10+ years now and always love to talk to the old timers about the way it was in the 50's and 60's. Did you know that during WW2 if you were a toolmaker you were exempt from the draft.

The deferrment didn't end with WWII, I found that out by accident. During the mid 60's I went for the first physical to be drafted, passed. Meanwhile I became a tool & die apprentice. I only had 1 week in when the same group was called for the 2nd physical and subsequent draft. I was exempted without planning for it. The other guys went to Viet Nam. A year later the govn't said you had to have a year in on an apprenticeship to be deferred- and I did- just missed me again! Before I was through the 4 year apprenticeship I was married and never had to serve (just been serving my wife ever since).

You guys are pretty darn close. Here they are as quized.

1. Riggid work
2. Sharp tool
3. Right speed
4. Right feed
5. Right lubricant

The safety ones were on a different quiz.
When I saw the answers I felt pretty stupid for not reading the material because it was just common sense but logicly listed and sequenced.
Anyway with that slap up side the head I made sure to know the material from then on and eventually aced the cousre. More than one lesson learned.

I think I know 'em:

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.

Right, that's number 5 .

5. Right lubricant

Keep in mind some materials use different cutting fluids.

I've been a toolmaker for so long that list is second nature -and- I did not remember it. I served my 7 year Westinghouse apprenticeship in the '60s, and I probably don't remember much of the classrom work.
