Down the Rabbit Hole with Justin Gray EP2 - My Presets are Better Than Yours

Brief

Within Tolerance Podcast episode two (Jul 7, 2026) is a conversational tutorial where Justin and Zap explain using CAM presets to increase throughput. They demonstrate the ‘golden rule’ for feeds-and-speeds, walk through presets for floor, wall and tape-and-glue finishing workflows, and emphasize that identical cutters behave differently when mounted in different holders.

Why it matters

Within Tolerance Podcast Ep. 2 (published 2026-07-07) — Justin and Zap state the golden rule: if you dial in feeds and speeds for every program, you need a preset to boost CAM throughput.

Key details

  • They map how deep presets go with concrete examples — floor finishing, wall finishing, and tape-and-glue workflows — and show presets save repeated tuning time.
  • Tool context matters: the same carbide cutter performs differently in different holders, so presets must account for holder, stick‑out, and setup variables.
Source evidence

Episode two digs into presets to boost throughput in CAM. Justin and Zap break down the golden rule—if you're dialing in feeds and speeds every single program, you need a preset—plus how far the rabbit hole goes with floor finishing, wall finishing, tape-and-glue, and everything in between. Plus why the same carbide in a different holder isn't the same tool at all.
