Ever have a crash that changed the way you set up your machine?

Ever had a crash that ended up teaching you more than any tutorial could? Something about feeds, speeds, tool paths, or just plain setup discipline. Most of us have had at least one moment where the machine reminded us why double checking matters. If you’re willing to share, what happened and what lesson stuck with you afterward?

Mine came from skipping a full simulation on a simple job. Everything looked obvious… until it wasn’t. Now I assume every program can bite me if I rush it, especially when I’m tired after a long day.
