How FeedLogic Is Using Machine Learning to Optimize CNC Feeds & Speeds | Radical Job Shop Show
In this episode of The Radical Job Shop Show, Emily Joann Wilkins sits down with Lance Locker and Casey Lambs, co-founders of FeedLogic — a Northwestern University startup using vibration analysis and machine learning to help CNC machinists optimize feeds and speeds, reduce chatter, and extend tool life.
What started on a collegiate Formula Racing team has turned into a manufacturing technology venture focused on solving one of the most common frustrations in machining: guessing your way through speeds, feeds, and tool performance.
FeedLogic is building a prototype device that captures vibration data during cutting and correlates it to stability, tool wear, and material removal rate — giving machinists clearer insight into what’s actually happening at the spindle.
This conversation explores what happens when the next generation of engineers chooses manufacturing.
We dig into:
How FeedLogic was born on a Formula Racing team
Why guessing feeds and speeds still dominates CNC programming
Using vibration analysis to reduce chatter
Extending tool life through data
Machine learning applications in CNC machining
Early-stage product development inside a university shop
Getting manufacturing tech into the hands of job shops
Why young engineers are choosing hard tech over software
Workforce challenges in machining
Making manufacturing “cool” again for the next generation
Thanks to our friends at Creston Industrial Sales who backed our first season live at the Advanced Manufacturing Expo in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
