What's your alert threshold, 10 days?

Oh man, laser before bed is like cat espresso.

The spindle face thing is wild because on a lot of older machines the face and the tip are basically close enough that it never matters, so you build that muscle memory and it just sticks. Our shop got a VF-2 about 3 years ago and the first guy who ran it did the exact same thing, scrapped like 6 parts before he caught it. What nobody talks about is that Haas ships those with a different pull stud torque too, and if your studs are even a little off it changes how the taper seats, which stacks right on top of a touch off error. So you get blamed for the 0.002 when half of it is the holder not seating the same way. Worth checking your studs before you go blaming your hands, that combo will make you crazy.
