There are lots of small things I missed before the training. I have much better view of the correlation between machine parts and product property now.
I think the basic mechanism of lapping and needle motion will guide me on common quality issues in my work. And the practice I did in this training will be influencing me a lot in the future."

Very open atmosphere. You can learn in peace here and always ask again if you did not understand everything.
