I know everyone loves their Haas VF-2, but mine gave me a solid week of grief after a coolant line burst during a 500-piece aluminum run.

The shop manager said 'just patch it' but I spent three days cleaning swarf out of the ball screws before it would hold tolerance again, so has anyone else had a simple repair turn into a major downtime event?

Honestly it feels like everything works like that now. My car had a tiny sensor fail and the whole system shut down for a week. Or my home AC, a small leak meant replacing the whole coil. It's never just the one broken part, it's the whole mess it makes.

That's just how it goes with machines, right?

Yeah that's exactly how it goes lol. I had my laptop just give up on me last month out of nowhere. What finally worked for me was just doing a full reset, @christopherr95, even though I lost some files. Sometimes you just have to start over with these things, it's annoying but fixes the weirdest problems.
