Hit 10,000 hours of CNC runtime this morning and my machine vibrated itself loose from the floor bolts

I was just checking my runtime counter after finishing a big aluminum job and saw 10,000 hours on the dot, then noticed two of my machine's anchor bolts had actually backed out from all the vibration over time, has anyone else had their machine shift on them after hitting a major runtime milestone?

Oh man, that's rough. I've had machines loosen up over time too, and it's always a pain to catch it before things get really bad. Glad you noticed it before it caused any real damage.
