Just realized I was crashing my tools because of a tiny offset fix

A senior operator told me I was treating my offsets like guesswork instead of math. He showed me how to use a test bar to dial in my Z-axis, and my rejection rate dropped by 40% in a week. Anyone else had to unlearn a bad habit like this?

Wow, 40% in just one week? That's honestly wild to me. I would have never guessed a tiny offset fix could make that big of a difference. It's crazy how we get stuck in our own bad habits without even realizing it. That senior operator really saved you a ton of headaches and scrap parts. Makes me wonder what other little things I'm doing wrong without knowing it.

Damn @reese_garcia that's exactly what I was thinking. You don't realize how much you're fighting the machine until someone shows you the right way. Those tiny adjustments add up fast when you stop guessing and start measuring.
