Any seal will do. Unless you want it to last 20,000 hours.

Forging has been around for centuries, and it still matters more than ever.

Since 1919, Clifford Jacobs Forging has been shaping steel into parts that keep the world moving – from Apache helicopters and F-18 components to elevator axles and mining equipment. In today’s MTDCNC Podcast, our guest Lori Brown of IMT Corporation breaks down what forging really is, why it still outperforms casting in critical applications, and how AI, simulation, and smarter furnace controls are modernising one of manufacturing's oldest trades.

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies aren't just selling seals. They're selling uptime, energy savings, and one less thing to worry about during maintenance. Because less maintenance, more uptime, and a lower energy bill? That's not just a seal – that’s a business case! Full EP - https://youtu.be/tsPYZP8IDHY

The components keeping the world's gearboxes, robots, and machines alive!

Seals don't make the headlines, but they're what keeps gearboxes spinning, robots moving, and machines running for 15,000 to 20,000 hours without failure. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies have been perfecting them since 1929, and the gap between a standard seal and a Freudenberg seal is bigger than most people think. In this podcast, Joe of Freudenberg Sealing Technologies breaks down three game-changing products: the Premium Sine Seal, the IPSR robotics seal, and the MSS-1 modular sealing solution – and why the right seal isn't just about preventing leaks, it's about redefining reliability. Because when “Amazon builds a new facility and buys ten miles of conveyor belts,” every single gearbox in that system needs a seal. Make it count.

The one thing that doesn't belong on the shop floor…

Ego, bad days, and personal drama. Leave it at the door. The shop floor is unforgiving, and your mindset can be the difference between a good day and a crashed machine. MTDCNC’s Chloe Reeve keeps it real on why the right headspace isn't optional in manufacturing. Full EP - https://youtu.be/GY70q2aGYts [https://youtu.be/GY70q2aGYts]

The engineering podcast that engineers actually asked for!

From saw doctors to applications engineers, MTDCNC’s Tom Skubala and Chloe Reeve have lived the shop floor life – and now they're talking about it.The debut episode of Tools Down covers everything from crashed machines and mindset to whether manufacturing really has a skills gap or just a serious image problem. Raw, honest, and refreshingly unfiltered – this is the podcast built by engineers, for engineers.Tune in to hear some interesting details about scrapped aerospace parts, tools dunked in tea, and the man the press once called mad for building the Eiffel Tower.
