Showerthought: A single offset error wrecked my day on the mill

Last week on the Haas mill, I was running a batch of aluminum brackets. I set up the program but completely missed updating the tool offset after swapping drill bits. The drill plunged way too deep and scrapped the part, lol. We had to stop production and fix it, which wasted a bunch of time. It really hit me how one small oversight can mess up everything in CNC work. Now I have a habit of double-checking all offsets before any run. This mistake showed me that paying attention to details is key. It's like how a typo can ruin a document, you know?
