Watch out for coolant splashback on old Haas machines
At my shop in Chicago last week. Was running a VF-2 and got hit in the face. Coolant went straight into my left eye. Wear those safety glasses even if it's just a quick part change.

Man it's wild how the little shortcuts we take always end up being the ones that bite us hardest lol.

On my old VF-3 the hose clamp on the spindle washed line rusted through and sprayed me right in the chest. What kind of coolant were you running when it hit you? I've noticed the water-based stuff seems to find every tiny gap in your safety gear way worse than the old straight oil ever did.
