Makes sense, to boot the guy that has 35 years experience with induction and have him replaced with a guy thats done nothing but camshafts. 2 different areas of expertise need 2 different people. I only see this purchase a benefit to the smaller cam grinders.
In order to keep up with technology you need to have the best and innovate.. These pencil pushers think any engineer with cad experience is the same.
