155 - Get Alfred a retirement fruit platter

Jem gets deep into Grasshopper software building custom robot CAM while Justin keeps drilling thousands of holes on his ShopSabre. They chat about wild HTX Studio YouTube automation, scary tool changer malfunctions, and the eternal struggle of buying used vs new CNC machines. Plus Justin upgrades to a bigger 3D printer and teases his AirShop inventory & quoting software. Plus koala vaccines, and 8020 extrusion workholding in the future?
