No eye protection, sandals, no gloves, coolant not used on some operations. Makes me wonder how they make quality parts.

I'm not a manufacturing engineer, but since they don't mill a cylinder face before they bore for the rotors, I wonder how they get the bores perpendicular to the faces.

They fixture, bore, drill, tap, and then face in that order. The CNC machining center is maintaing perpendicular.

While thst's a quaint video it isnt representative of how this type of pump is mass produced.

At least they take their workplace safety seriously
