Business of Machining - Episode 89

Grimsmo is putting pens write back into the game! He and Angelo had a nice long meeting where they made A TON of changes to the internal workings of the pens. Curious about what changed? Watch out for new Saga Saturday videos coming again soon on Grimsmo’s YouTube channel! Learning is great, and it’s even better if knowledge can be used right away! Saunders learns what a “living hinge” is (keep listening to find out), and he bought a Skyhook crane (which is also new territory for him). Which would YOU choose? Red or Blue? And no, we’re not talking about pills. “Welcome to the Loctite Episode!” - Grimsmo The Johns discuss loctite, different variations you can get, and how its versatility makes it so AMAZING! What does loctite do? Fills in all the gaps and gives you 100 percent thread. It prevents the start of the reverse rotation. The Balance of Risk and Reward There’s always a risk when you sit down with a mentor or someone in the field, but from Saunders’ experience, the good always outweighs the bad. Saunders talks about his trip to New York. He did SO MUCH in the two days he was there, but especially enjoyed his tour of the VAHL shop. There will be a video of that, so keep an eye out on Saunders’ YouTube channel for the shop tour! Take away from the trip? Saunders says it’s always great to get a little out of his comfort zone, but he has to reflect a little more before he knows exactly what lessons he's learned. How do you measure lean? Saunders and Grimsmo discuss what goals that have when they implement lean strategies into their workflow. “Better results at the end of the day is all the matters” - Grimsmo The machines Saunders has makes him: “parts , money and happy” Workflow improvements? Grimsmo uses UpWork a lot to get results, and now the shop is also considering a fine grinding machine that would cut down on lapping time. Grimsmo is going to visit Saunders this weekend! It’s a great time for them to just hang out, and be dads together.
