Had a killer week with zero scrapped parts for once
Been running a Haas VF-2 for about 3 years now and usually I'll scrap at least one part a week doing tight tolerance work. Last week I ran a batch of 47 aluminum brackets for a local fab shop. Tolerances were +/- .002 on most features. I took my time on setup, checked my offsets twice, and didn't rush the cycle. Every single part passed inspection on the first check. First time I've gone a full week without trashing anything. Anyone else track their scrap rate and try to beat it?

Killer week with zero scrapped parts" sounds nice but I don't track mine. Seems like more stress than it's worth. Some weeks you just get lucky with the machine and material.

My shop went 47 days straight without a single scrap part last year. It’s not luck, it’s catching problems early and not letting them slide. Tracking holds you accountable, forces you to fix stuff instead of shrugging it off.
