  This white paper by Tom Gross, "Why CNC Turrets Fail and How to Prevent It", distills decades of hands-on experience into a practical guide for manufacturers seeking to reduce downtime and extend the life of their CNC turrets. Drawing from thousands of real-world service cases, it identifies the top ten failure modes—from neglected maintenance and crash damage to coolant infiltration and tool misalignment, and offers actionable strategies to prevent them. With clear insights into turret-tool compatibility, preventive care, and the value of precision-engineered live tools, this resource is essential for any shop aiming to turn turret reliability into a competitive advantage.
