I read this the other day and I still can't stop chuckling.
Mazak Renishaw.
Been working a lot on a Okuma mx45, where you have to turn a key on the handwheel to go from the handwheel to rapid motion, then had a job over on a Mazak vtc..... That key on the handwheel did not have anything to to with rapid motion, it realeased the tool... It dropped the renishaw! Lucky for me it was only the probe that broke!
