Podcasts about broaching

"Awesome things end to make room for more awesome things. If we just continue to try to hold on to things that have been great, even when they're still going great, eventually everything has a natural lifecycle and time span to it."Karen & Paul talk about the complexities of ending long-term collaborative projects, using their decision to conclude their podcast, 'Employing Differences,' as a case study. They explore topics such as broaching the subject of ending, processing emotions, and affirming the value of the relationship. The episode is a reflection on their collaborative journey, the appreciations they have for each other, and lessons learned about handling endings with vulnerability and respect. 

According to the International Energy Agency's (IEA) World Outlook, the clean energy transition and the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) could lead global demand for fossil fuels to peak before 2030. As nations worldwide shift away from fossil-fuelled engines and towards an electric future, automakers are making a shift of their own, starting with their machine setups. Here, Swetapadma Mohanty, Senior Development Engineer, Gear Machining at Sandvik Coromant, explores the machining methods that will prove key to the automotive industry's electric future. Another prediction made by the IEA is that, by 2030, the global electric car stock will expand to almost 350 million vehicles. That's more than 60% of vehicles sold. To accommodate the rise in EVs, automakers are turning to alternative machining methods. One such method is power skiving. Common gear machining challenges Before diving into power skiving and its machining considerations, let's think about the common challenges associated with gear machining. The machining of gears for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and EVs can differ in certain aspects due to the distinct characteristics and requirements of these two types of vehicles. For instance, while ICE vehicles often have complex multi-speed transmissions to optimise power delivery, EVs typically have a single-speed or limited number of fixed gear ratios. Other distinguishing features include torque characteristics, noise and vibration considerations and weight and size constraints. Machining gears, for any vehicle type, presents several machining challenges. To ensure proper meshing and transmission accuracy, gears require tight tolerances with high machining precision. Gears must also be designed to minimise noise and vibrations during operation in order to maintain batch consistency and ensure tool maintenance is key to achieving high production volumes. Popular gear machining methods include hobbing, milling, shaping and broaching. However, these methods often have limitations such as lower flexibility in handling various gear types, longer cycle times and challenges with specific gear geometries. Hobbing is particularly popular for cutting spur and helical gears and is most suited to smaller production runs and for producing gears with various tooth profiles. For mass production, gear shaping is a preferred method as it can achieve high dimensional accuracy in shorter cycle times. But these machining methods are incredibly specialist. Broaching and hobbing, for instance, must be carried out on a specialist machine, with a totally different machine required for shaping. Then there are all the other steps required for successful gear production — milling, turning, finishing, quality inspection and so on. What does that mean for manufacturers? Multiple machines set ups, limited flexibility, lengthened lead times and a costly machining process can all be consequences of a gear machining process that's not catered to our increasingly electrified world. Enter power skiving. If we're to get 350 million EVs on our roads by 2030, automakers must turn to machining methods that can accommodate. This is where power skiving comes into play. As a continuous process that uses a specialised cutting tool to remove material from a gear blank, power skiving boasts several benefits over traditional methods like hobbing and shaping. First, power skiving typically provides higher precision and tighter tolerances compared to traditional process. It's well-suited for producing gears with complex profiles, including helical gears and non-standard shapes. Traditional process may have limitations in achieving intricate tooth forms, especially when dealing with high helix angles or specific gear geometries. Generally, power skiving is faster than traditional gear machining processes and, as it removes only the necessary material to form the gear teeth, the waste produced is minimal. A core driver for its use in EV production is power skiving's flexibility — it's suitable for various gear applications, including those with specific performance requirements. Manufacturers can therefore adapt to different gear types more easily than they can with traditional machining methods. With reduced set ups in multitask machines with power skiving, higher quality can be reached. Crucially, power skiving is performed on a multitask machine. Performing multiple activities on a single machine will reduce set up times, improve accuracy, increase throughput and streamline programming. For those currently using multiple machines to execute traditional gear machining methods, however, upgrading to a multitask machine for power skiving requires some investment. It will be up to manufacturers to weigh up the pros and cons of their machining set-up, but there's one thing we cannot deny — the pace of electrification isn't going to slow down. To compete in an evolving, competitive market, flexibility, adaptability and process efficiency will be fundamental. Tool selection If power skiving is the right machining method for automotive's future — what are the right tool choices? Let's start with the gear milling tools themselves. Tools should have tight tolerances to ensure accurate machining and to produce gears with uniform quality. A good gear milling tool should also be heat-resistant to maintain its cutting performance and prevent premature wear, with a design that facilitates proper chip evacuation to ensure smooth cutting operations. The CoroMill®178 and CoroMill®180 family of gear milling tools meets those expectations. For internal and external gears, capable of machining both cylindrical spur and helical gears from roughing to finishing, CoroMill® 178 is a key part of a successful power skiving setup. It is best used in applications where high-volume, high-rpm machining with long tool life is required, while CoroMill® 180 is ideal for general use on shoulders or small diameters. These tools offer the highest tool accuracy, regarding run-out and pitch, compared with indexable tools, providing a superior finishing profile of the gear and spline. In one customer success case, by replacing a traditional process with power skiving using CoroMill® 178, cutting time was reduced and tool life increased significantly. With annual growth in production, the customer was able to save over 100 hours of machining time each year. It's not just about cutting tools with Sandvik Coromant. Customers receive tooling and application support, along with a service offering that includes technical feasibility consultancy. For example, our ESCO software is another vital component of our power skiving portfolio, enabling high-quality and precise production of power skiving tools. InvoMilling® is a vital part of Sandvik Coromant's gear machining portfolio. As part of the CoroPlus® Tool Path software, InvoMilling® is a process used for machining external gears, splines, and straight bevel gears with exceptional flexibility. This makes it highly suitable for small batch production and situations where short lead times are essential. The solution takes advantage of multitasking machines and machining centres' capability to produce various gear profiles using the same set of tools. As the world prepares for an electrified future, automakers must consider their manufacturing techniques. While traditional gear machining methods have long served the industry, thriving in a changing and increasingly competitive environment requires flexibility. Power skiving provides that flexible, adaptable approach — all while delivering finished components of the highest quality. As market leader, Sandvik Coromant is also focusing on high-level sustainable Power skiving tools and reducing CO2 footprints.

This episode was originally published on May 5th, 2018. Remembering the grocery list, coordinating with the babysitter, making food for the potluck, scheduling a get-together with the in-laws: These are some of the invisible tasks that (most) women exclusively do in their romantic relationships — and the list goes on and on. Like a modern-day Greek chorus, women from across the country wrote in to the Dear Sugars inbox echoing identical inequalities in their relationships with their husbands and boyfriends. The Sugars commiserate with this aggrieved chorus along with Gemma Hartley, the writer who set off a national conversation about emotional labor with her viral article in Harper's Bazaar, “Women Aren't Nags — We're Just Fed Up.” Broaching the subject of emotional labor with a romantic partner can be tricky, especially if he feels as if he's being blamed for the imbalance of labor. The imbalance in Ms. Hartley's marriage began righting itself when she and her husband shifted their perspective: “This is not a problem with you and it's not a problem with me. It's a cultural problem. We have to unlearn a lot of things together in order to move forward." The Sugars Recommend “I Stand Here Ironing,” by Tillie Olsen “The Yellow Wallpaper,” by Charlotte Perkins Gilman

Architectural ironmongery manufacturer Instinct Hardware has recently invested in a host of equipment that includes an Italian-built Biglia bar-fed, twin-spindle lathe with a ± 45 mm Y-axis turret having and 15 driven tools. Installed in the Stirchley factory where premium quality door knobs and handles, door stops, and accessories are manufactured, the latest turning centre was sourced in May 2024 from the Whitehouse Machine Tools. The company supplied the machine as a turnkey package with a bar feeding unit and a gantry-type system for unloading components onto a conveyor. This handling method was chosen to prevent damage to the components' surface and preserve their aesthetic appearance. Whitehouse also supplied programs and tooling for producing two key components and their prove-out in Kenilworth, plus comprehensive training. Instinct Hardware products are either standard catalogue items or manufactured to bespoke designs and have been used in prestigious projects. These include the ongoing refurbishment of Citibank UK's London headquarters, Google's new headquarters in King's Cross, various London Underground stations, the recent renovation of Wembley Stadium and Liverpool FC's modern training centre. Until now, stainless steel has accounted for 80% of production, with the remainder mainly brass and bronze. However, an increasing amount of aluminium is being processed due to its easy recyclability. Director Nil Chohan says: “Since we moved to our current premises, we have been increasing our machining capacity to reduce our reliance on subcontractors. All of our lever handles require a square hole to be broached. This has always been done separately on a hydraulic press, as before the Biglia B 620 YS was installed, we did not have a rigid enough lathe.” “We bought the Italian turning centre specifically because it can broach our stainless steel handles, which Whitehouse demonstrated before we committed to the machine. So, we can now perform all operations in one hit rather than in five or six operations. It significantly reduces scrap rate by avoiding repeated manual setups and greatly speeds manufacturing time, enabling us to fulfil our promise of a 10 to 14-day order turnaround.” A case in point is machining a component assembled into a stainless steel, oval-profile, mitred lever handle. It previously required six machining operations from turning on a 3-axis lathe, milling and drilling on a VMC, broaching on a hydraulic press, further prismatic machining on a different VMC, slotting on yet another VMC and mitring on a bandsaw before welding. This consumed 15 minutes of machining time plus 10 minutes of handling and setup for each of the five additional operations. On the Biglia, the part comes off complete in 8.5 minutes, representing an eight-fold time saving, with the added benefit of eliminating work-in-progress and the potential damage to components. Nil Chohan needed a robust and powerful machine capable of broaching stainless steel, he was impressed by the specification of the B 620 YS, particularly the 30kW direct-drive, liquid-cooled main spindle motor offering 700Nm of torque. The lathe has boxways in the X and Y axes to promote rigidity and accurate machining, with a linear guide rail in the Z-axis for traverse speed. He says: “Reputation is hard to establish but even more challenging. Through hard work and endeavour, we have become a leading European manufacturer of bespoke architectural ironmongery. Today, our team is committed to continued investment and further developing our range and brand with an increased focus on sustainability of materials and logistics. We are constantly looking at new machinery like the Biglia to develop and enhance our offering whilst maintaining our passion to continue driving the company and our industry forward.”

In this episode, we meet Ric, a 62-year-old medical professional who was featured in Vice's 2018 article "Meet the Men Who Have a Fart Fetish." Although Ric doesn't identify strictly as a "fart fetishist," he's been fascinated by farting since childhood, drawn to both its taboo nature and the unique intimacy it fosters between people. To Ric, farting represents a great equalizer—breaking down societal barriers and connecting us all on a human level. Ric shares stories from his youth, including his time in the Boy Scouts, where the camaraderie often revolved around shared laughter and farting during downtime. He also recalls a memorable experience with a young foreign exchange couple who embraced farting as part of their open, intellectual conversations, leaving a lasting impact on his perception of this natural bodily function. For Ric, these moments of openness and vulnerability were deeply validating. Delving into the erotic aspect, Ric explains that his fascination with farting is tied to the anus as an erogenous zone, emphasizing the physical and emotional sensations it evokes. He enjoys the playful transgression of farting and how it deepens his relationships, allowing for a shared experience that's both intimate and humorous. However, Ric makes it clear that it's not just the act of farting that excites him—it's the context, the person behind the fart, and the emotional connection that make the experience meaningful. In his personal life, Ric has shared intense moments of connection around farting, finding arousal in the embarrassment or freedom others express when gassy. He finds the act of excusing oneself after a fart amusing, as it subtly forces acknowledgment in situations where the social norm is to pretend nothing happened. Despite his partner of 25 years not sharing his enthusiasm, Ric maintains a healthy relationship, enjoying intimate moments like spooning and the occasional shared fart in bed. Ric also reflects on his journey to incorporate farting into his sex life, initially hesitant but growing more comfortable over time. He describes his experiences meeting fellow fart enthusiasts before the internet era, using classified ads to connect with others who shared his interests. With the rise of online communities, he found friendships, though face-to-face connections remained rare. We also dive into Ric's ability to keep his professional life separate from his personal interests and explore broader questions around the normalization of farting. Does it dilute the taboo, or does it simply evolve the way we view it? We touch on farting in popular media, the unfounded fears of a "fart fetish epidemic," and the intersection of farting as both a bonding activity and an intimate sexual expression. Ric even shares his experience being interviewed for the Vice article and offers insights on how our attraction to a person can extend to enjoying their unique bodily aromas, including farts. This episode is a fascinating exploration of taboo, intimacy, and the unexpected ways we connect with others. Find the podcast and resources at FartFetishPodcast.com 

In this episode we have a chat with this year's American Medical Society for Sports Medicine(AMSSM) Global Exchange Program to South Africa candidate Dr Emily Sweeney.

We know sequels can be hard, but with a guest like the Dick Doctor, we are pretty sure we pulled it off. You may remember last season, when urologist, sexual health specialist, and purveyor of the Popstar sexual health supplement, Dr Joshua Gonzalez joined us to discuss all things in regards to penile health. This time he returns to talk about another one of his specialties - male hormonal optimization! The science of testosterone replacement therapy has become way more popular in recent years among discussions of health and wellness for men, but there are a host of details and nuances that often get missed among the community. What even are steroids? Who is TRT right for? What kind of side effects can happen when we mess with our hormones? Dr Gonzalez gives Adam and Cole a few lessons on how it all works and what he can do to help us as we age and our systems change. Broaching the subject of what's happening in our pants again, he also shares a new offering in his sexual health office called Shockwave Therapy, which Adam and Cole are both enjoying the benefits of. Take notes folks, our internal systems are even more complicated than our dating habits.

Broaching the delicate topic of miscarriage, Jimi and Libby discuss their experiences with loss of pregnancies and the impact multiple miscarriages has had on them individually and as a couple. It is estimated that 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage. They are unpreventable and not anyone's fault, yet miscarriage is a subject that we tend to feel awkward about discussing and many of of don't know what to do or say when confronted with the topic. In this episode Jimi and Libby explain why they told friends and family early on about their pregnancies rather than waiting the widely practiced 12 weeks of silence and how this helped them with their loss and the grieving process. The talk about the physical and emotional pain that can accompany a miscarriage and the lessons they learned throughout each experience. Hoping to destigmatise something that is actually a very common part of life, Libby and Jimi speak openly about what they went through and offer some advice around how you can support someone experiencing miscarriage or fears around pregnancy and loss.

Broaching the subject of rhttps://anchor.fm/runeslinger/episodes/Episode-3-1---Alien-RPG-series--part-1-e16obdpoleplaying games focused on emotional reactions of self-protection, we take some broad examples such as Call of Cthulhu and FFG's Star Wars Roleplaying to get things going. We look at two shades of this disquieting emotion: Horror and Fear. We look at how our two example games invoke it mechanically, and what we as players can do to facilitate more than a hat tip to the reaction the character is experiencing. This episode covers a lot of ground, digs up a few graves, kicks in a few doors, and perhaps opens some old books that should stay closed, but all of that is being done in the spirit of sharing how we actually play~ For more on the subject of fear, horror, and improvisation in conjunction with horror RPGs, check out the series in Season 3 of the Casting Shadows Podcast where we use learning to play Alien: The Roleplaying Game from Free League as our base example.

My guest is Melissa Fritchle. She has developed The Conscious Sexual Self Workbook, she is a mindfulness meditation teacher, a Holistic Sex Therapist, is an educator and workshop leader, and that's just a few of her qualifications. Within this episode, she shares a lot of wisdom about communication between partners, mindfulness, and exploring sexuality. Really important work that Melissa is doing, and she has a lot of great things to say on the subject. Listen in! The “Conscious Sexual Self Workbook” Melissa said she wrote the workbook during a time that she realized the people she interacted with in her practice were self-identifying their sexual being solely through a lens of sexual behavior. For example, she would introduce questions and journaling exercises to participants who never really considered looking at their sexuality apart from a normative model of sexual behavior. So, Melissa likes to remind those who want to become more conscious of their sexuality should factor the complete picture of sexuality: this ranges from the events and discussions that you had as a child and teenager, to the less malleable reinforcements of adult sexuality. Within the workbook, there are plenty of exercises and prompts that help participants explore their sexuality and perhaps learn for the first time some of the true facets of sexuality that many assumed they learned in high school. As we explore within the episode, many adults feel like a window closed for learning about sexuality. Most are embarrassed to be in their 40s and ask questions about sexuality, so Melissa's work offers a great platform for reopening those doors and discovering the sexual self. Does it Specifically Resonate with You? Melissa wants to remind you that there are a lot of great resources out there on sexuality but to remind yourself that there is also a lot of junk information as well. One of the most important considerations is that you take and apply the information that resonates with you personally. Often what happens is a particular person hears that something is working for someone and then they feel it necessary to incorporate it, even if it has hardly anything to do with their unique sexual self. How to Talk About Your Wants and Desires One of the added benefits of exploring your conscious sexual self is that you can work through the shame and uncertainties of your sexuality and get much more comfortable communicating with your partner or other people in general. This can still be a difficult thing though that requires consistent practice. Melissa suggests just talking about things at first. There should be no pressure to act on something immediately. Broaching the subject on a particular area can be powerful in itself. But there should be no immediate pressure to act right away. Another thing Melissa talks about is having the “what turns you on?” conversation can be a really productive and powerful conversation to have with partners. This sort of conversation can act as a bridge for other conversations as well, just because of how easy it is to have. Mindfulness and Sex Melissa says that instead of “performing” sex, being mindful and practicing mindfulness techniques can lead to better sex hands down. With it, you are much more present with your partner and conscious about the sexual act itself. She says that a lot of her clients end up losing focus and diverting their attention elsewhere during sex, which makes for less engaging sex.
