Within Tolerance Episode 284 - The Sea of Kern - IMTS 2026
Sep 26, 20261h 41m
Everyone's answer for the best part of IMTS 2026 was the same: the people. Zap, Justin, John Grimsmo, Chris Hopkins, Andrew Henry, and James Meyette join me across four days of mini episodes, recorded from the Kennametal, Rego-Fix, Datron, and Matsuura booths, to talk about what caught their eye. We get into less AI hype than expected, metrology finds in the back rows, high-density workholding done the crawl-walk-run way, and the unglamorous side of running automation overnight. We also talk about a very special knife reveal and a packed meetup, with a massive thanks to Kern for hosting!Check out Zap's IG @zap.consultingCheck out Justin's IG @justingraylabsCheck out Andrew's IG @henryholsters Check out James' IG @cncappsjames Check out Chris' IG @chopkinsmax Massive thanks again to @kernprecision for providing a wonderful place again for the meetup and to @datroncnc @matsuurausa @regofix_group and @kennametal for allowing us to record in their booths! -----------------------------------------Help support the podcast www.patreon.com/withintolerancepodcast

Within Tolerance Episode 283 - 5 Years of Change With Andrew Henry
Sep 5, 20262h 10m
Andrew Henry of Henry Holsters is back after nearly five years, and a lot has changed: 11 employees to just over 30, a building addition, a Matsuura MX-420, and a shift from making parts to running the whole stack for other holster brands. We get into hiring his first real programmer and handing over the keys, the dark side of lean and why gratitude has to come with it, bringing on a fractional CFO, and why you should set up a line of credit before you need one. Plus the one-button shipping software they built that pushed 1,100 orders in a single day.Shipster Pro: https://shipsterpro.com Nicholas Means- "How to Crash an Airplane": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=099cHWSbAL8 Check out Andrew's IG @henryholstersand check out his podcast Lean Built: Manufacturing Freedom https://open.spotify.com/show/6GjYm11Mo4vwWRzzdY1hQ8?si=b5a70c7bdc474642 -----------------------------------------Help support the podcast at www.patreon.com/withintolerancepodcast

Within Tolerance Episode 282 - The Bot Will Remember This with Zap
Aug 28, 20262h 10m
Zap and I go live one more time before IMTS with Patreon members firing off questions. We map out the meetups (Kern on Wednesday the 3rd, plus a rotation of podcast recordings around the show floor) and swap updates: Zap on Kinematic Sauce, CritLink, and nonstop coast-to-coast travel, me on the new auto CMM, the coolant dosing project, and the podcast bot that's now live in the Discord. Plus a Fraisa vs. the world taper battle in 17-4.Check out Zap's IG @zap.consulting-----------------------------------------Help support the podcast www.patreon.com/withintolerancepodcast

Down the Rabbit Hole with Justin Gray EP4 - Standard Tools Are the Cheapest Automation You Can Buy
Aug 11, 202644 min
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

Within Tolerance Episode 281 - Eddie Riddell of Steele & Co Engineering
Aug 4, 20262h 38m
Eddie Riddell of Steele & Co Engineering joins Dylan this week from his one-man job shop in one of the most remote cities in the world. Eddie traces a wild path from a New Zealand apprenticeship to the Australian mines to going out on his own, buying Haas machines sight unseen from across the world and landing on a DN Solutions SMX mill turn. They get into learning G-code out of necessity, why turning tools in Fusion are a nightmare, and the fixtures that have no business working but do. Plus the payment dispute he settled with an angle grinder.Eddie's YouTube for his boat, container house, and other builds: https://www.youtube.com/@eddiereddierEddie's IG @steele_co_engineering-----------------------------------------Help support the podcast www.patreon.com/withintolerancepodcast

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
