We are going to do, all the seat tube bb mitres, then all the down tube/ bb mitres, then all the down tube/ head tube mitred and so on...
the fixtures we use are all easily adjusted and calibrated, so its less to do with the set up time and more to do with being in the right head space, in that I find it easy to get confused what I'm doing if I'm flitting between cuts over and over.
Rough overall plan is:
All the mitres
All the tacking
All the weldingOne of the annoying wastes of time at the moment is going to the main fixture to tack the stays before cutting, or cutting without tacking and running the risk of it having slipped and I've used this as an excuse to buy another welder.
Ideally we would have a consistent amount of orders allowing us to build in a quite regimented way. What will happen in real life is anyone's guess.

I hadn't realised the extent to which you were changing how you build (both process and components).
Thinking about the earlier production methods-chat, how does the fact you've sold all thirty affect how you will build? It sounds like you will be producing sub-assemblies en masse, rather than building one frame at a time.
