TLDR/dumbing everything down

Lately I’ve been lazy and been wanting to streamline everything I do, mainly working on prototype work of abrasive parts 

ive been saving my operations for families of common parts, tools database ,I even keep my tool list in a program under 8 tools, I’m my opinion, setting up a job with more than that takes some energy for me anyways and I want setups to be easy for the machinist 

I prefer to not load a multiple drills and just interpolate the holes with a small endmill. It is more time consuming but for quantities under 8 who cares. u get benefit of using cutter comp

i always use a ball endmill to do machine fillets and sometimes finish off the dimension on a countersink, the ball endmill always hits the target right the first time, whereas a countersink tool you gotta drop it down to get the right size if there’s a tolerance on the diameter, and also u gotta trust the operator that he or she loaded the correct angled tool.. I rather just dumb everything down

Any tips on how I can streamline more?

i do a lot of what you mentioned (tooling one offs so cycle time is a small part).

i have a grid system on the machine with vices to the side. knowing where all these are I can program g10 work offsets using manual input op within mastercam. no zero to set at the machine.
