  • Love hate

    I love the topics being discussed, very interesting and helpful. The thing that keeps bothering and honestly keeps me from listening is that Grimsmo doesn’t show any interest in Saunders, I feel like Grimsmo can also have a running conversation when he’s talking or frankly: when the topic is about him. He doesn’t really ask questions or, it sounds like he isn’t interested at all in Saunders. Which is a petty because in my opinion Saunders has a lot to bring to the table, which doesn’t really sho... more

  • Running your machine with heightened senses

    I believe its good, especially when you make a part for the 1st time to run your machine a little bit scared.

    I don’t mean be scared of your machine or be scared of breaking tools, but rather have massive respect for your machine and what kind of damage it is capable of doing from just 1 little mistake. There are so many details and variables you have to be on top of before you make your 1st chip it’s easy to forget 1 small step.

    By running your machine scared you naturally heighten your sense... more

  • PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THIS…

    I’ll start off by saying this. I love watching both of y’all on YouTube and I love listening to your podcast. I am subscribed to every social media both of you have. I have been following for over 2 1/2 years. I respect what you do, and I appreciate the effort you both put into the trade, and the advancement and learning of the trade. With this being said, I also want to say one other thing…. You spend alot of time talking about the Kern, and other machines you have, and the way you handle busin... more

  • Couldn’t have done it without you!

    I just got my first cnc machine (a state of the art in 1997 Fadal) AND got my first paying machining job. John and John have been the single most valuable resource I’ve found for preparing to and starting a manufacturing company. They are competent but humble, knowledgeable but strive to learn more, honest about struggles but always upbeat. You could not ask for better mentors. If you own any type of business or run any type of machine you will benefit from the BoM!
