Hit 10,000 flawless parts on the same setup without a single reject

I've been running the same aluminum bracket job for about 8 months now on my Haas VF-2, and I just passed 10,000 parts without a single reject. Honestly surprised me because I figured a tool wear issue or a coolant problem would have popped up by now. Has anyone else gone that long on one setup without a bad part?

You better knock on wood before you type another word! That kind of streak is basically begging the universe to throw a drill break at you. Maybe buy a lottery ticket while you're at it, since your luck clearly hasn't run out yet.

Yeah, @barbara_baker57, is that really a thing? I used to think knocking on wood was just old superstition and didn't matter one bit. But last year I talked about how smooth a job was going and literally dropped a wrench on my foot right after. Now I'll at least tap my knuckles on the truck door before I say anything about a streak going good. It's stupid but it works enough to keep me doing it.
