In this episode, I catch up with Zap after my paternity leave to discuss our recent experiences. Zap shares updates on his whirlwind travels across the country, shop move complications, dental health revelations, and his work on a high-precision linear motor machine. I talk about my new journey into fatherhood, the emotional rollercoaster of the newborn phase, and balancing life. We dive into technical topics like HyperMill automation scripts, Fusion configurations, and optimizing tool libraries. We answer listener questions about time management challenges, machinist education needs, coolant temperature effects on part tolerance, and share our candid thoughts on tool manufacturers' websites. Plus, we discuss how AI tools are changing shop workflow and documentation.
