Large dimensions with small teeth

High concentration is required. Rejects when setting and running in components is a normal process in almost every production: call up the programme, manufacture the part, measure, correct, manufacture a new part - until it fits. This is different in the machining of large parts. Here, the machine operators carefully feel their way to the final dimension to be produced.
