I know I came by your shop a week or two ago, and it was super cool to see your shelf of kind of the evolution of the Flux Workholding vise line. The machine vises were really a solution to the problem of how to make a whole bunch of small parts really quickly as a one man shop. But we didn't just start making machine vises. And today the product line that we just launched is Flux Workholding, which is our line of quick change machine vises. And over time that escalated ended up taking over the business. But as time went on, I started developing my own products and selling them online. But as time went on, I continued doing consulting, which is basically just being a freelance engineer. Definitely learned a lot from each of those industries. I was working in the UAV industry, designing drones, and then I also did quite a bit of consulting work in the semiconductor industry, doing motion control systems, some really, really high precision in a vacuum at cryogenic temperature nanometre type tolerances. I actually started my business doing engineering consulting originally. I'm in just the right spot, I think, but I can explain a little bit more later why I think that is, but I have a degree in aerospace engineering and I'm a self-taught machinist. I actually think the line between those two things is kind of blurring as time goes on. So my background is actually in engineering originally, I'd say I'm 50% engineer and 50% machinist. How did you get into manufacturing? Because you've got kind of an interesting path into machining and manufacturing and I think it's a really cool story. So yeah, pull those up if you want to check his stuff out and if you haven't before and, let's jump into it. Yeah, definitely guys pull that up and you're on Instagram as well, right? It's and (00:56):Īwesome. Also, which has our line of tactical belts and, which is our line of high-end dog leashes. That's probably most relevant to everybody listening right now. So for those who don't follow you on social media or any, or haven't seen your products, where can they find you online? So they can pull this stuff up and follow alongį is the main place because that's our line of machine vises. And this week I'm joined by Michael Sargent, of Sargent Research, Gear Fur, Carbon Tactics, and now Flux Workholding. I’m your host, Dylan Jackson from Proteum Machining. ![]() Price of Black Quicky Buckle with Belt: $60 at Carbon Tacticsįor these and other Carbon Tactics buckles, please visit the Carbon Tactics website, where you can order the buckles.Welcome back to within tolerance podcast, a podcast for machinists by machinists.

They can be seen on one promotional photo of Nomi in her outfit (see photo on the left), but in other photos, the buckles and straps can not be seen, so it might be part of something that she loses during the mission. ![]() Her buckles on the Commando outfit are the Carbon Tactics Quicky magnetic buckles in black with a black belt. One of the other confirmed products is the Carbon Tactics Quicky buckle, which is part of Nomi's commando outfit. Note that Bond's belt used in the film is not from Carbon Tactics.
