119 - Conical Chamfering

Jem and Justin celebrate the launch of ThreadBoard! They script a new chat box and let an AI agent control their workspace computer. Claude tries using the configurator, and they find Qwen2.5 Coder 32B is way less lazy than GPT-4o. They tackle measuring and QC’ing ThreadBoard chamfers, possibly with a conical chamfer probe. There’s a follow-up on the Jet HVBS, Patrick from Douglas Fir Design asks about AI voice chat models, Vertical Calendars are in jeopardy, PDX CNC announces an End of Year Upgrade Sale, and they chat about laser engraving.
