Home Shop Machinists Podcast – Episode 1

Listen Later

Max and I finally got around to recording our first episode of a brand new podcast!  In our first episode:

  • What’s happening in our shops (it’s getting cold!)
  • High Speed Steel – the Scottish man’s cutting tool of choice, and also most dutchmen
  • Quit spreading rumors about HSS bluing!
  • Don’t feed the monsters: quit buying those end mills in the wood box
  • Max’s tip: Do yourself a huge favor and buy a 3/8 HSS roughing end mill for your mini mill (a good quality one will last a long time!)
  • They are not Titanium drill bits!
  • Max untwists a drill
  • We talk for 1/2 hour longer than we planned.  Consider it punishment.
