    Down the Rabbit Hole with Justin Gray EP1 - My Tool Model is Better Than Yours

    Kicking off Down the Rabbit Hole, a new Within Tolerance podcast for nerds, by nerds. Justin and Zap launch their multi-part series "My Tool Library Is Better Than Yours" with the bootstrap basics: a simple four-folder structure, modeling your holders and tools accurately, and getting roughing and finishing presets dialed in. No money required—just stop building tools from scratch every damn time.

    Within Tolerance Episode 279 - Down the Rabbit Hole with Justin Gray

    Justin Gray catches us up on life post-Toolpath. We get into Justin Gray Labs and his vibe coding kits — along with the security nightmares they're built to prevent. He's also chasing fidget pistons to a two-tenth window on a Syil and Speedio. Then we get into Kinematic Sauce, the calibration algorithm he and Zap built for Speedios, with Fanuc and Haas next. Plus, his new show Down the Rabbit Hole is launching soon here on Within Tolerance!

    Within Tolerance Episode 278 - Post Summit Clarity with Zap

    Two months of catching up with Zap: the Toolpath Summit recap, his Claude-built ERP CritLink processing real money, and his Boise shop dialed in for remote operation. Dylan finally has power, runs the Flex overnight, untangles a kinematic shift on the C250, and survives a titanium job that tried to take him out.

    Within Tolerance Episode 277 - Matt Blackwell of Blackwell Engineering

    Matt Blackwell spent over two decades fixing jets and flying C-17s before building a one-man backyard shop and a fiber laser fixture business he never planned on. We talk spindle gripping lessons, the messy line between hobby and business, and how a guy in a backyard shop ends up tapping a few hundred thousand holes.

    Within Tolerance Episode 276 - Joseph Alonso of Novo Modo

    Joe Alonso tells the full Novo Modo origin story—off-grid childhood, working full-time at 16, a career detour through blindness and Microsoft, and launching a shop on pure conviction with no customers lined up. We dig into his inspection-first approach, keeping shops small on purpose, and why culture fixes more than training ever will.

    Within Tolerance Episode 275 - Still Powerless with Zap

    Zap and Dylan catch up after a busy stretch. Boise expansion, Texas customer visits, QuickBooks meltdown, and the Claude Code build. Dylan's still chasing power for the Flex, doubled up compressors, and is increasingly frustrated with Fusion. Plus questions on specialization, work holding, financing, and the worst shops Zap's walked into.

    Within Tolerance Episode 274 - Brian Kippen of KAD Models

    Brian Kippen is back after nearly four years to talk about an incredible period of growth and change at KAD Models. From teaching machining to acquiring a wire forming business, adding a MAM with automation, and managing three facilities across two coasts—all while raising a toddler. We dive into the cultural challenges of bringing precision work to a fast-paced prototype shop, the reality of machine automation ROI, and why delegation is harder than it sounds.
