What's the most time you've invested in a project before F'ing it up? This morning I completed about 25 operations in approx 6 hours and then ruined the whole thing with a bad toolpath. Now I need to hear about your mess ups to calm me down.

Maybe the money spent on verification software/hardware, and time spent to render doesn't seem as expensive after all?

.... Running $400 blanks and 16hr programs, scrapping on toolpath #16 isn't an option, especially with an end user breathing down your neck. Especially when you'll run through $60 worth of inserts just to get that far..

But rest easy... you're not the only one who's enjoyed this lesson in attention to details.

My favorite mistake was entering 0.3125 when I meant 0.03125. Needless to say I don't do that anymore but I did it more than once just to learn it well.
