Within Tolerance Episode 283 - 5 Years of Change With Andrew Henry (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Andrew Henry of Henry Holsters is back after nearly five years, and a lot has changed: 11 employees to just over 30, a building addition, a Matsuura MX-420, and a shift from making parts to running the whole stack for other holster brands. We get into hiring his first real programmer and handing over the keys, the dark side of lean and why gratitude has to come with it, bringing on a fractional CFO, and why you should set up a line of credit before you need one. Plus the one-button shipping soft
Within Tolerance Episode 282 - The Bot Will Remember This with Zap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Zap and I go live one more time before IMTS with Patreon members firing off questions. We map out the meetups (Kern on Wednesday the 3rd, plus a rotation of podcast recordings around the show floor) and swap updates: Zap on Kinematic Sauce, CritLink, and nonstop coast-to-coast travel, me on the new auto CMM, the coolant dosing project, and the podcast bot that's now live in the Discord. Plus a Fraisa vs. the world taper battle in 17-4.Check out Zap's IG @zap.consulting---------------------------
Down the Rabbit Hole with Justin Gray EP4 - Standard Tools Are the Cheapest Automation You Can Buy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Justin and Zap are back for chapter four of My Tool Library Is Better Than Yours: Standard Tools Are the Cheapest Automation You Can Buy. Standardizing saves you a little time every day, but the real money is in killing the expensive outliers that blow up a Saturday night. They get into what "standard" actually means (it's not one holder for everything), why drills and taps are the best place to start, buying a holder or at least a collet with every tool, and keeping a bullpen of ER holders for
Within Tolerance Episode 281 - Eddie Riddell of Steele & Co Engineering (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Eddie Riddell of Steele & Co Engineering joins Dylan this week from his one-man job shop in one of the most remote cities in the world. Eddie traces a wild path from a New Zealand apprenticeship to the Australian mines to going out on his own, buying Haas machines sight unseen from across the world and landing on a DN Solutions SMX mill turn. They get into learning G-code out of necessity, why turning tools in Fusion are a nightmare, and the fixtures that have no business working but do. Plus th
Within Tolerance Episode 280 - Long Lists and Kinematic Sauce (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A long overdue catch-up with Dylan and Zap. Dylan owns up to overcommitting the shop and relearning that automation doesn't save you from yourself, then runs through tooling, RO water, and a 3D printer that ate itself mid-print. Zap talks Kinematic Sauce, building systems that persist without him, and why being cheap is the fastest way to sink a shop. Plus neat oil, buying machines the right way, and a vice that took a swan dive into the chip bin.Check out Zap's IG @zap.consulting---------------
