Within Tolerance Episode 239 - Calibration Cubes and Tool Libraries

Zap joins me this week live in the studio as we dive into our recent experiences and challenges in the machining world. Zap discusses his non-stop travel schedules, including trips to Maryland and California. We talk about fixturing challenges in different materials, the balance of setting proper boundaries, and our continuous journey in achieving optimal machining processes. I recount the hurdles faced while integrating the new U500 machine, highlighting some unexpected setbacks and the incremental improvements over various Speedio generations. We also cover practical advice on anodizing prep, the importance of material stresses and proper fixturing, and the benefits of our new plastics annealing oven.
