Hot take: my spindle bearing let go 20 minutes into a rush job in Dayton, and now I'm torn on keeping spare parts on the shelf
Lost a bearing on my Haas last Tuesday around 2pm with a 40 part order due Friday, and it squealed for half a second before the finish went to garbage. A buddy of mine swears by keeping a full spare spindle sitting on the shelf even though it ties up $2800, while my old lead man said spares just sit there and rot while you still wait on the one part you actually need. Curious what you all do, do you stock the big stuff or just roll the dice and hope the machine holds out?
