Episode #146 – Unthreaded

A screw thread is a helical structure, flowing between the linear and rotational, and when Tim “Action” Jackson along with Jo Morris of Desert Distribution join the podcast it’s a different sort of threadform altogether (1:12:18). With a more precisely pitched dialogue, Würth Industry director of international trade compliance, Danielle Riggs explains key concepts every fastener distributor should understand to avoid costly errors related to imported product (20:46). NFDA president Doug Ruggles joins news editor Mike McNulty to consider the diverging direction of two key components of the FDI on the Fastener News Report (44:53). Plus, thread guru Carmen Vertullo provides a glimpse into the CFS training classroom on the Fastener Training Minute (1:06:38). Brian and Eric advance axially with each segment in turn, despite the onset of screwbola season and a regrettable coin toss. Run time: 02:23:00
