New 4 day old VF-6. Customer used the lift to remove a part and didn’t notice he snagged the top of the enclosure and kept going up with the crane. He almost turned it into a teepee.1yr ⋅ Wonderful-Wedding635 ⋅ r/CNCgore
I work in a wood shop running CNC router table. My boss decided to run it over the weekend, I have no idea how he managed this one.3yr ⋅ RobbitIsTaken ⋅ r/CNCgore
A local company in town had this. No explanation, other than that the guy was fired on the spot. The shop has only three machines facing each other, and evidently, he wasn't paying enough attention during a first setup with a new tool.3yr ⋅ CodingLazily ⋅ r/CNCgore

Customer obviously ran his own spindle run-in program. Not sure why the Z had to go down!! He apparently didn’t even put a balanced tool in the spindle. Us: “Were you present during the run-in, It must have been loud?” Him: “Yeah I was here. No I didn’t hear shit! Replace it for free!” Lol4yr ⋅ ShinobiSimian ⋅ r/CNCgore
