My boss watched me set up a job and said 'you're fighting the machine' - he was right
I was taking forever dialing in a 3-jaw chuck on a老旧 Mazak, always adjusting offsets by tiny amounts. He told me to back the jaws off and re-clamp from scratch, and the runout dropped from .005" to .002" in one shot. Anyone else ever get humbled by something that simple?

That's like slapping a stubborn mule instead of whispering sweet nothings to it.
