Pro tip: A crash at a job in Tacoma made me check my tool offsets differently
I was running a big batch of 6061 parts and the machine just ate a tool. My lead said to start checking the offset with a shim stock pull test before every run, not just the first part. Anyone else have a specific pre-run check they swear by now?

Man, that's rough. I started doing a quick visual on the tool holder for any chips or grit after a similar crash. Found a tiny piece of swarf once that would've messed up the offset. What kind of shim stock do you use?
