May your 201 and my 278Z meet together in the endmill afterlife.
No casket for mine. Hopefully it’ll be turned back into a new endmill in the recycling center.

If it was not the case that I have just had a few orders I would make you a magicians saw in half trick box so you could have a piece in either side lol

Yes, I was running a job and universal g-code sender stopped sending (first time that happened), with no error. I fixed the model in Fusion to start halfway and finish it up and hit start in UGS…except I forgot to raise the z height. So it rapided over to the start position, even though there was material in the way. The endmill almost got entirely through though before it snapped.

Have you no feeling or compassion. The heat from his passing is barely cooled and you are talking post mortem. Think of his wife and kids, have you no shame.
But it brings to mind a saying,
When you put your hand in a bucket of water and then remove it the hole your hand made is soon filled in. So will the hole left in your bit rack soon be filled by #201’s replacement. Amen.

Was #201 a veteran? Sounded like a command error was the cause of the little diggers demise. My sympathy to the family. Hope their Memorial Day was an upcutting one.

You missed your calling!!! 
Today whilst prototyping some stuff, I had a little accident. This was a brand spanking 203Z end mill before suffering a homing/probing issue on a non C3D controller. When I pressed GO it changed the work position to the BitSetter then went straight through the steel button at 24000rpm.

Can only say whoops and maybe an OUCH!
Was it the CNC xPRO V4 controller?
Nope it was a cheap generic controller cobbled together with external drivers… I’m ripping it off the machine tomorrow!
