Boss said stop using gauge blocks on the vise, and I think he's wrong
My 6 inch Kurt vise jaws went out of parallel by 0.003 inches after two months of roughing 4140, so I started checking with gauge blocks before each setup and he told me I was wasting cycle time. I get that production wants parts out the door, but scrapping a $400 block of steel hurts more than 20 extra seconds of setup. Anyone else get pushback for checking their work, or is it just my shop?

Notice how folks skip checking things everywhere until something breaks, then act surprised.
