Shoutout to the long drill cycle that saved my shop floor

I was running a drill cycle that took four hours per part. Usually, I would just wait, but I decided to look around the shop. I heard a faint dripping noise from the coolant system. When I checked, I spotted a loose connection that was slowly leaking. I fixed it before it caused any real damage. Now, I make sure to inspect my equipment during long runs. It's a simple habit that saves a lot of trouble.

Check hoses during long cycles.

Look for bulges or cracks while they're running.

Actually, checking them cold before you start is way easier to spot problems.
