About this episode

Justin and Zap discuss the benefits of standardizing tools for cost-saving and efficiency in automation.

Justin and Zap are back for chapter four of My Tool Library Is Better Than Yours: Standard Tools Are the Cheapest Automation You Can Buy. Standardizing saves you a little time every day, but the real money is in killing the expensive outliers that blow up a Saturday night. They get into what "standard" actually means (it's not one holder for everything), why drills and taps are the best place to start, buying a holder or at least a collet with every tool, and keeping a bullpen of ER holders for the one-off cutters. Plus the pull-stud fix Justin talks himself into live on the mic.Justin's IG @justingraylabsZap's IG @zap.consulting-----------------------------------------Help support the podcast at www.patreon.com/withintolerancepodcast
