Talked to a retired guy at the bar about his old Bridgeport. Said he ran it for 30 years and never once used a tool probe.

That's the old school way. Makes you wonder how many parts were made with just a good eye and a steady hand.

My uncle ran a machine shop in Toledo until the late 90s. He said the real skill was in setting up your own edge finders and indicators. Did that guy talk about how he handled his first piece setups or hitting precise depths?
