Hit 2,000 hours on the cutterhead today and it finally clicked

Honestly that 2,000 hour mark is wild but here's the thing nobody talks about. The cutterhead might finally "click" for you, but your body has been keeping score the whole time. I bet your ears, your hands, your lower back all adjusted way before your brain did. That's the real milestone, when the tool feels like an extension of your arm instead of something you're fighting against. Tbh most people quit right around 300 to 500 hours because they never get past the noise and the vibration. So good on you for sticking it out, but don't forget that the machine isn't the only thing that broke in.

Hitting 2,000 hours and only then feeling the "click"... damn @lopez.simon, that's some serious patience. I'd have thrown the thing out the window by hour 50.
