A guy at the Rockford plant told me to stop babying my finishing pass, and he was right
When I started running a Haas VF-2 back in 2016, an old hand named Dale told me to quit leaving .02 on the wall and just trust the cutter to take it in one clean pass. I ignored him for about 6 months because it felt wrong, until a job came through with a tolerance of plus or minus .0005 and my two-pass habit kept drifting out. Switched to his way and my scrap rate on that part dropped from about 8 in 20 to 1 in 20. Anyone else got an old timer tip you wish you had just listened to sooner?

That trust the cutter part is huge, once you stop second guessing the tool your feeds and speeds get way more consistent too.
