Fixture offsets made me eat my words at 2am

Always set tool length offsets from the top of the part. Took a rush job in Charlotte, 40 parts, and my Z kept drifting. Foreman said use a 1-2-3 block on the table instead. Mocked it for months. That trick cut my setup time from 20 minutes to 8. Anyone else fight the old guard on this and lose?

Table zeros from the part just guarantee you chase your tail all night.
