Saw a guy tram metal his spindle in Fort Worth while replying to a text
Dude at the shop next door wrecked a $8,000 Haas spindle yesterday answering his girl on break, why does nobody talk about the real cost of checking your phone mid-cutting before the alarm even goes off?

Saw a guy tram metal his spindle" is the part that gets me because that crash never happens in slow motion. It happens in the two seconds you look down and the feed override you swore you set does not matter anymore. First thing, if you run a machine alone, put your phone in a drawer or a locker, not your pocket, because buzzing in your pocket is the real problem, not the text itself. Second, if your shop lets guys keep phones on them, ask the boss for a hard rule about phones staying off the floor, it saves way more than it costs in lost time. Third, check your feed hold and e stop reach before you ever hit cycle start, because if you have to hunt for the button you already lost. That Haas spindle is eight grand gone plus downtime plus the hit your boss takes on the next quote, and none of that shows up until the alarm clears.
