Show Notes
Jay and Andrew discuss real-world shop challenges like air quality, ventilation, coolant selection, and bandsaw blade performance. The conversation expands into capacity planning, why running at 100% utilization is a hidden liability, and how maintaining margin and flexibility allows shops to respond quickly when customers need help.
Along the way, they touch on safety systems that fail when alerts are too distant from the problem, lessons from catastrophic industrial accidents, and why local, thoughtful gestures like good donuts or quality coffee build stronger vendor and customer relationships than generic (or just plain bad) corporate gifts.
