Just realized everyone at my place keeps ignoring the tool offset wear comp

I mean, they'll dial in a new insert perfect then run 500 parts without touching it. Saw a 0.015" drift on a stainless job last week that scrapped a whole batch. How often do you guys actually check and adjust yours during a run?

Seriously, that's why we do a quick check every hundred parts or so.

Unless you're dealing with a high-variance process, then it's just wasted time.

My "quick check" process has a high variance all its own.
