Showerthought: I used to manually edge find every part on our old Bridgeport, now I just probe it on the Haas.
Switched after a job last fall where I scrapped a $500 blank from a misread. Anyone else find probing cuts setup time in half?

That old Bridgeport manual edge finder was so easy to misread by a few thou, especially on a worn table. Probing is a game changer for repeat jobs, but for a simple one-off bracket, I can still set it up faster by hand. The real time save is on the second op, when you're flipping a part and need to pick up the same corner. The probe eliminates all that math and guesswork.

Remember when my buddy scrapped a part using that old finder, @lilyt90?
