The week my CNC ran perfect for 5 straight days - never happening again
I had a week back in March where everything just clicked. I was running a job for a medical parts company in Cleveland, 200 pieces of aluminum brackets. The machine didn't throw a single warning, tools lasted the whole run, and the first article actually passed inspection on the first try. My boss Steve came by and said "you know this never happens, right?" and I just knocked on the table. But here's the thing, that week set my expectations way too high. Now every time I get a chatter mark or a broken tap I get frustrated faster than I used to. Has anyone else had a week like that where things went so smooth it almost felt wrong, and then everything went back to normal?

Nah I get what you're saying though. It messes with your head when everything goes perfect because now you KNOW the machine CAN do it, so when it doesn't you're like "what the hell machine.
