Blew a fuse mid-cycle on a Haas VF-2 last Thursday

Was running a batch of 4140 parts at my shop in Dayton and the machine just died halfway through a finish pass. Took me an hour to find the blown fuse in the main cabinet because I didn't have a spare on hand. Anybody else keep a stash of spare fuses in their toolbox or just me?

Always keep a fistful of spare fuses in my toolbox after the same thing happened with a Fadal... nothing worse than digging through random drawers at 10pm with a dead machine and a boss breathing down your neck. That finish pass on 4140 is probably toast, too... hope you didn't scrap the whole part.

Yeah but now you've got the boss's coffee breath as a bonus feature.
