That feeling when you catch a toolpath error before it hits the part
I was running a batch of 50 aluminum brackets on our old Haas VF2, and the program called for a 3/8 end mill but the tool data page still had the old 1/2 inch from the last job. I caught it during the dry run because the finish pass sounded way too light, so I stopped and checked the offsets. What's the weirdest way you've ever caught a mistake in the program?

My weirdest catch was when the coolant smelled like burnt plastic. Turns out the program forgot to turn on the spindle.

That coolant smell @averys52 described is a new fear unlocked.
