PSA: I was setting my tool offsets wrong for months because of a bad habit
I kept getting tiny finish issues on aluminum parts, just a bit of chatter on the last pass. A guy I work with, Mike, watched me run a job and asked why I always touched off the tool with the spindle running. I said it was just how I learned. He had me stop the spindle, touch off gently, and my next part came out smooth as glass. That light contact with a spinning tool was giving me a false reading every single time. Anyone else pick up a bad habit like that early on?
