Within Tolerance Episode 256 - Rebecca Wolfinger of Mil-Spec Manufacturing
Episode description
From culinary chef to machine shop owner, Rebecca Wolfinger joins me to share her remarkable manufacturing journey. As co-owner of Mil-Spec Manufacturing, Rebecca discusses building a veteran-owned manufacturing business from the ground up, acquiring their first Haas VF4 for just $10,000, and their recent expansion with a Tormach 1500MX robot cell. She describes her experience navigating the machining industry as a woman, her creative WWII-themed rebranding strategy, and how culinary skills translated surprisingly well to lean manufacturing practices. Rebecca also offers candid advice on effective LinkedIn marketing, work-life balance, and the importance of learning every aspect of the business to ensure its longevity.
