Dumb, dumb, dumb
Sometimes I can be so dumb.......
Toolpath was supposed to be set at .565 depth of cut
When you miss the decimal point bad things happen (DOC = 565)
The really dumb part is my setup sheet has it in bright red letters. Why do I bother printing the set up sheets if I don't look at them ?

Re: Dumb, dumb, dumb
Ron, I just want to know how close to that DOC did you get?

That’s why I never leave my machine unattended while running. Before I aborted the cut it had a pretty good burn mark going in the wood.

Re: Dumb, dumb, dumb
I thought I saw some smoke and the smell of burning wood coming up from Florida. That explains it!

Re: Dumb, dumb, dumb
I didn't try THAT deep, but doing a single line font in Teak....changed .1" to supposedly .125"
Never CHECKED the preview
1.25" cut with a 1.5" bit.
First indication was my spindle bogged down for the VERY first time ever....
THEN I smelled the smoke....
who knew Teak smoke smells like burning chocolate! ER-20 collet and nut have LOUSY cutting qualities!!!
(took 1 day soaking in acetone to get the 3 pieces apart and then cleaned...what a ton of stubborn gunk!!)

How true about the battle scares. Second day on my Stinger while resurfacing spoilboard I buried collet in spoilboard far corner, scar still there to remind me to check twice.

Re: Dumb, dumb, dumb
Do we receive some sort of a “Merit Badge” to remind us of our errors or just the lingering smell of smoke?Savannahdan wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 12:13 amWelcome to the Dumb, Dumb, Dumb Hall of Fame! Can't you tell we're all proud to be members?

Re: Dumb, dumb, dumb
If I had a dollar for every dumb thing I have done just on my cnc, I could probably afford a machine with z range of 565 inches! Love the story...thanks for sharing!

I had this sign on my CNC. Guess what it is a list of.
