I finally ran the same aluminum job on a 1998 Haas VF-2 and our brand new machine, and the chip difference was wild

Used to indicate every part by hand with a sharpie, now I let the probe do it and cut setup time in half

I called G10 a crutch for lazy operators, then a night shift guy in Fort Wayne showed me his sub program and I ate my words

An operator in Wichita bet me $50 that bumping my feed 15% would kill my insert, he was dead wrong

Why does nobody talk about zeroing your indicator before a setup, I skipped it for 6 years
