> "So the rotary fixture plate is done, right? WRONG. I’ve got just one more feature to add to it. A set of material squaring guides. I have an idea for a dovetail clamp that allows for adjustability, but is also self-squaring. I’ve never seen anything quite like it which could either be a good thing or a bad thing. It’s one of those weird things where the mechanism makes sense, but at the same time… doesn’t. So let’s find out, and build a functional prototype!"

It's very informative material in a digestible format and pacing.
Anything new these days have proprietary names and it's super frustrating tying to find comparisons between modern high performance endmill for crappy materials. AlTiSiN, I hear is the new good stuff but every brand that seems to carry them obfuscate it like harvey's "tPlus" or Fullerton's "FC-20", SGS's Ti-Namite-M. So you don't really know what you're buying. Then there's AlCrN. How good is that vs the other coatings? What kinds of weird and wacky coatings have you found great success in your crappy materials?
