Ran the numbers on my first 5 years running CNCs and it kinda blew my mind

I was going through some old job folders last night, cleaning out the hard drive, and I added up how many parts I've run since 2018. Came out to just over 14,000 pieces across three different machines. That's like 8 parts every single workday for 5 years straight. I had no idea it was that many until I actually sat down and counted. Has anyone else ever looked back at their total output like that and been surprised?

Hang on a second, your math is a little off. 14,000 parts over 5 years is about 2,800 parts per year, not 8 per day. That's more like 11 per day if you work 250 days a year. I had to double check because I do the same kind of logging for my little shop. But hey, it is STILL a lot of parts no matter how you cut it. I remember being blown away when I hit 10,000 on my old Haas. It really puts the grind into perspective.

11 per day is actually wild when you think about load/unload time on top of everything.
