Was about to scrap a run of parts due to consistent size errors. On a whim, I adjusted the tool offset by a hair and everything fell into place. Still puzzles me why the machine drifted so much over time. Do you folks check offsets more often with certain materials? I'm always trying to get better at this.
I was cleaning up after a run. Heard clicking noises from the machine zone. Found three kids around the control. They were pressing buttons like a game console. Had to explain each button moves a sharp tool. Showed them a simple facing operation on some scrap. Now they think machining is cool.
Last update messed up my drill cycles and now holes are in the wrong spots. The new post processor shifted all my coordinates without any notice. I had to rework three days of code just to get back to where I was. If they can't make updates stable, they shouldn't push them out so fast.
