The CM I work for barely clears 1 million a year. On more than one occasion they had to use their personal funds to make payroll. Our sister company clears over 3million per year. I have been unable to determine what their process engineers are makin

Steve, I am sure that is true in some instances, but they begged me to stay. More than once. The guy they got ended up s*xually harrassing and scaring most of the female employees and they eventually had to fire him because female employees were qui

Well, I don't know if you want to muck around this much, but I bought a GE (Chinese made, of course) toaster oven with convection fan. Nice big glass door in front, you can use it in bake, broil, toast or convection oven mode. The only thing missin

Process, process, process. We have been doing BGA's, uBGA's, LCC's etc for over 10 years. We have no X-ray and we don't even have a real rework station. In 2005 we placed just under 100,000 BGA's we reworked less than 100, we scrapped less than 30. W

"What do I Really Need" is a subjective question.It all depends on who you ask. I have been in small mom and pop shops that were running BGA's and they were doing some scary stuff.(I wont go into details) In order to put a correct process together y
