It’s like Groundhog Day around here. I’m thinking my power feed is not shutting off somehow.

When I finished a small batch of parts recently, I noticed that some of the holes were slightly off location. I had neglected to tighten the rod on my vise stop. Fortunately I wasn't hitting the stop very hard when I changed parts and they were salvageable.

Funny, that is the reason I made the one Im using now.
Made 4 exact same die steels, the dowel locations were all over the place as every time I slid a new one in place the stop I was using moved just slightly.
That solid bar hanging way out the back makes my teeth itch.
Just wait until you snap the tip off and stab yourself with one!

That looks familiar. I've been known to do silly things like this.
Or snapping a good end mill while moving the X axis and hitting the vise. Stoopid is as stupid does in my case.

I would guess so, if they can bore into an oak tree (among others) they can certainly bore into your finger
