Can they take our tools? Inspection vs. Manufacturing Tooling and Gages

I think I understand where you are coming from though. Our operators borrow our measuring equipment and rarely return it. or return it stepped on, bent, dropped, rezeroed, or whatever. We like to keep a set of 'good' measuring equipment in the lab for us to use. They have the necessary tools, just dont care for them, and as a result they are usually lost or broken.
I hope your organization does not tolerate measuring equipment abuse.....:mg: If so, you have a serious problem.....

Along with the other issues noted, having distinctly different instrument between inspection and manufacturing (different accuracies? Different calibration intervals? Different calibration methods?) could lead to different measuring practices and results between the two groups.

I would think there are more suitable methods to handle instrument use than separating the two groups. :)

Yes, well unfortunately they do. I have frequently had to bring in my own personal equipment to enable me to perform inspections. (I had the company calibrate them though). No worries, I know when to drop the lifeboat....

:D:agree1:

I understand. I'll dispense with the usual Rant about management providing adequate instruments... blah blah. :tg:

Now... off the record, I can understand what you're saying. As long as the company calibrated it for you, and no one asked to borrow your stuff... then you do what you have to, sometimes.:):agree1:
