Hello, and thank you for visiting.
My name is Michael Rainey, and I'm the founder of Close Tolerance Software. I do the research and programming that results in programs like ME Consultant Professional and ME ThreadPal.
My background includes almost thirty years as a Manufacturing Engineer and CNC Programmer. I've worked in a wide variety of machining environments and learned a great deal about tooling and machining, manufacturing engineering, and quality requirements. Many years of CNC and applications programming have reinforced my feeling that every detail, no matter how small, has to be taken into account and handled correctly.
As I worked through those years, I found that a good deal of my time was spent researching and re-researching various types of machining information. To get the final answers to my questions, the researched data often had to be manually input into complicated formulas. After a while that can wear a person down, particularly if they're loaded with work and fighting to keep up. As mental fatigue sets in, the possibility of making an expensive mistake rises sharply. Looking at it from a manager's point of view, the lost time and mistakes represent money wasted and customers who might not come back. Fortunately, some of it is avoidable.
The programs I've developed are aimed at professionals who need fast access to accurate information. They're thoroughly researched by a person who's technically experienced and obsessive about accuracy and dependability. I encourage you to give one or more of them a good look.
