Dirty hands
Jun 02, 2009,16:17 PM
Kong, I always see the photos showing watchmakers working in a clean enviroment.

It's amazing how specialized these machines are!

I love that the machine can work at producing the small parts of the bracelet for four hours before needing to be fed more material. Fascinating! Polishing the links looks like dirty work though! Check out the fingers on our friends in the photos! I hope ...
On the contrary...

One of the main advantages of CNC is that they are not specialised. That is their main advantage for small prodution runs. You do not need to commission dedicated machines, software takes care of that. In general, they are equipped with interchangable cut...
