Episode Description
In this episode of the Loan Machinist Podcast, Jamie and Curt dive into fixing machining problems from opposite sides of the planet, building spindle grippers for unattended automation, and discovering exactly how much force is too much force. Along the way, Jamie accidentally starts a small fire, Curt fights Windows’ refusal to stay awake, and both agree that modern operating systems might just be adware in disguise. Expect deep machining talk, real-world automation lessons, AliExpress economics, and the unexpected debut of the “butt plug driver.”
