Swapped from parallels to a 5-axis trunnion table 3 weeks ago

I had to pick between keeping my old setup or switching to a DMG Mori 5-axis for a high-tolerance job. The learning curve on the trunnion was brutal for the first week but I finished the part in 2 ops instead of 5. Has anyone else made that jump and felt like they were starting over?

Did you find yourself constantly double-checking your work that first week? I used to swear by keeping things simple, but after seeing how much time I saved with those 2 ops instead of 5, I changed my tune.

Yeah @rowan969 that first week is rough. Stick with the 2 ops, you'll get used to it.

Oh man, that first week is the worst, I felt totally lost too.
