nothing like paying attention to every single sound with your hand quivering over the red stop button, hoping that you didnt fuck up with a tool clearance somehow
It's okay. Remember your safe space. Imagine the sound of the spindle returning and the table rapiding back home. You open the door and everything looks good. You measure the critical features, and everything comes back right in the middle of the tolerance. A warm feeling of calm washes over you.
I am a CNC integrator. I teach CNC machines how to talk to machinists. I think of ending my li#& several times every day. My clients think I'm on vacation for the past 5 months, but I'm actually recovering from a massive, massive, massive mental breakdown. I am currently hiring, btw.
What did machinists ever do that was so great? Answer: The entire industrial revolution, winning wars, and saving lives by making all of the critical parts to all of the equipment that brings you everything that you value. Without machinists we are back to having black smiths and pulling plows with horses. That's what.
Explaining cnc machining is hard enough. now try to understand my strugle to explane my work as an EDM-Threading machinist xD. The puzzled looks on peoples faces when i tell them i cut metal with a wire and electricity. Amazing
That half you pay check comment was spot on lol. Love machining, but it doesn't pay so I have to move on to something that will allow me to buy my own machines and start my own machining business. The straw that broke the camels back was when I went to Subway to get food and they had a sign out that said, "Hiring now, part time/ full time, starting at 18$ an hour" Which is what I was making until a year ago. You would think a person that can hold tenths (.0001") tolerances on manual and cnc machines would get paid a decent amount more than a "sandwich artist" at a fast food joint.
That's what I'm saying.... Machining sounds fun, I was a cnc operator when I was younger (just a button pusher), and I would be interested in learning how to machine things, make things, but the pay I see on indeed is literally less than most service jobs. Like why???? I moved to Des Moines and they have a tool and die maker degree and I thought that would be interesting, but the pay I see for these jobs is like $25 at most, with $18-$20 being average. I'm sorry but that's insulting to go to school for 2 years to learn a trade/skill and that's my endgame? It's bizarre to me that the skills to literally make anything is only worth $20 an hour.
@@hhjhj393 yeah. The problem with this skilled trade is that it can be exported to countries where the workers get paid two dollars an hour, don't have safe working conditions, and don't get benefits. The worst part is, to them, two dollars an hour is probably good money.
Trained and experienced CNC- machinist here: Excellent video to bring it casually! Good example with the wood. A lot of makers are buying a cheap CNC machine or even modify an existing one to make it a CNC-Machine to cut some nice wooden pieces. But yea the ones I know respect me for knowing how to cut metal, because that's just an entire different story. Only thing lacking in this video is the importance of how to hold you workpiece. I mean it's easy to clamp a square block. That's mostly not the case though. Especially if you have an existing part and you are asked to 'just remove a bit of that surface'. :D
First 10 seconds is like: Okay... Spindle is still in one piece... Nothing moved... Machine didn't break in half yet... Alright let it go thennnnn... Okay no scary sounds we're good to go... I think
I can make just about anything, CNC Machinist specializing in prototype submarine parts and nuclear reactors. Only thing I can’t make is a living wage that allows me to go outside my 400sqft apartment.
Bro feel your pain machinist don't get paid enough. It's sad you can go work two part time jobs work 48 hours a week get two days off a bring home more money than working 48 hours at one job after taxes think bout that
CNC machining is underrated profession, it's complicated, takes responsibility, whole day looking at machine and metal, low pay. Only thing that is worth is starting your own CNC workshop.

Cnc machinists pay varies greatly. Don’t expect as an operator to make fuck all for money. Setup operator makes marginally more. Tool and die or mold makers make a little more, almost a decent wage depending on the shop. Programmers make a bit more. Idk man maybe I’m too jaded lol

Hey, never forget, something will happen, you just hope it's what you want. And don't forget your G50 on every tool, or you'll start in the middle of the program one morning and spin it to the moon, ask me how I know, got very lucky it was a collet not a chuck.

@@Celciusify I always thought the emergency stop button should not be mounted above the spindle (as on older CNCs like the Bridgeport Series I and II vertical mills). Why not have the shut-off attached to a safety harness or a pressure plate and have it triggered when the machinist ran away? While running a much larger milling machine, I once had a part weighing over 300 pounds tear loose and spin around the boring bar. It was only a matter of time before the boring bar gave way. The last place I wanted to be was anywhere near that machine, but that's where the power cutoff was located.

yeah when i was working on a CNC punch i broke one of the dies because the guy setting up the triangular punch & die misaligned them by 180 degrees making it go bang like a shotgun, the die was worth 1 months worth of my income, scariest thing that happened to me ngl
Haha oh man, I've been poorly explaining machining for over 2 decades, well done my guy. I do wish hollywood had more focus on manufacturing, I've watched a ton of your videos I had no idea you were a machinist. I don't know if you've seen it, but MTDCNC is doing a machine shop rescue series, they're on season 2. Full disclosure I do contract video work for them, the series is one reason I wanted in.
0:02 so I'm not allowed to be here? Or do I count as a machinist? I study Mechatronics Robotics at a university of applied sciences and I have had a few courses on manufacturing engineering and have used a cnc mill once. Still watching this video because why not.
At my workplace we own a 3 axis CNC Machine for simple Metal working and mainly carving custom curcuit boards from a copper sheeted PCB plate. I can HEAVILY relate to the part where you're about to press "start" and your past 15 minutes of setting up the machine flashes before your eyes looking for a mistake you could've made.
There was that one machinist movie with Christian Bale, who lost like a whole swarf-bucket worth of weight for the role of a machinist, and it showed some other machinists doing machinist things. And then one of the machinists got all messed up in a machine. And then Christian Bale's machinist character kinda went way off the deep end or something? Can't think of the title but, was pretty cool I guess.
in my first job as a cnc operator/programmer i forgot to had the tool compensation on the program, the result was a dead spindle and a bent linear rail, i was so ashamed that i quit on the spot that moment is carved in my mind with so much detail that if measured properly it could attain RA 0.3 finish roughness
I'm a CNC Machinist all the way from Brazil. (For those of you guys that just discovered CNC Machines, now you discovered a new country also). Worked with Lathes first and now with mills, and if i break a tool it's usually the value of my monthly income. And no, i don't need to pay their value in money, i just pay in mental health like a good machinist.
Far over the Misty Mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away, ere break of day To seek our pale enchanted gold (the shop) The dwarves of yore made mighty spells While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep In hollow halls beneath the fells (the machines) For ancient king and elvish lord There many a gleaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught To hide in gems on hilt of sword (the overdemanding customers) On silver necklaces they strung The flowering stars, on crowns they hung The dragon-fire, on twisted wire They meshed the light of moon and sun (the parts) Goblets they carved there for themselves And harps of gold, where no man delves There lay they long, and many a song Was sung unheard by men or elves (the social life) convinced yet?

And the worst of all no matter how experienced you are…. You know in the next 5 years it is possible that a crash can happen… and it probably will happen… i f***ing love it
Well, if you’re starting an apprenticeship and you’re new to CAD software and cam software it’s actually very interesting to me. But I can see how it bore the hell out of my trainer sometimes 😂 but I’ve had so much fun learning all this stuff like I really love CNC and the manual too and surface grinding . We do all milling pretty much at the tool and dye shop I’m at. The only time we turn that lathe on is to face and turn some pillars for a mold or do a one off. We do a lot of mold fixing and replacing pins and things like that from machines on the other side where the mold people are that do that boring button pushing crap 😂 But truly, I love learning about the tooling, tool paths and the speeds and feeds and all of that stuff. I’ve really I picked the perfect career to start. I love it! I really do enjoy what I do ! And I think that’s important to a healthier lifestyle . And it only took a year and a half of college, which is awesome because I don’t owe much money. it took me a while to find the shop that I wanted to start my apprenticeship at this is the third shop, but I finally found the one that I love with the right trainers that are patient and actually know how to teach. I’m blessed with this shop. It’s a very good shop. It’s not huge. It’s a smaller shop, but it has great trainers constant work and a great environment This video is funny. Reminded me of me in some ways and reminded me a lot of some of the people at my shop 😂
One movie that doesn't do a half bad job at showing machining is the first minute of Chort Circuit. But then again it's only like a minute, you see a mill doing its thing, you see the controller for a second, You see a lathe and that's it.
That opening has me like a slap in the face because I'm guilty of it. Currently running my horizontal while drilling some stainless at the moment. The rest of this video just hasn't he called out. Ya bastard 😅
As a machinist, I can see how confusing i can be when describing machining. I will now just tell people I control robots the size of an 1 bedroom apartment that cuts metal with a laser.
I went to school for Prototype and Design: I played with a lot of "toys": from table saws to mills to vacuum formers to lathes... the only tool you're not trained in is how to forge something with hammer (I ironicly do exactly that as a hobby). I never took the classes on cnc coding, but I know the horror of a broken tool and a what happens when you mess up zeros... neither are a fun day.
3:00 no the hardest part is not the programming, its the clamping and vibrations especiallyfor thin parts. You can easily check if the program is written wrong to cause a crash.
A colleague of mine forgot to enter the drill bit length in his program so the machine slammed the drill into the table. Who had just been made perfectly flat. He also came in drunk once from the night before, got sent home, forgot about the whole interaction and showed up again later.
I always touch off on the top of the part, set the offset, but then I add .100 in the z-axis to it before I press the start button. Single step it in and then, if it looks like a .100 above the top of the piece, it should be fine! I may have laughed a little too hard at the problem solving bit of this video 😂😂😂
Non machinists will never know the joy of running a first off and just as the tool comes into contact with the material someone else in the shop drops something with a loud bang. They did make a movie about machinists, The Machinist, it makes us look cools and normal

Was a CNC apprentice for about 2 months and after all my hard work and knowledge I can proudly say im now a welder.
yeah when i was working on a CNC punch i broke one of the dies because the guy setting up the triangular punch & die misaligned them by 180 degrees making it go bang like a shotgun, the die was worth 1 months worth of my income, scariest thing that happened to me ngl
Bruh, I got called out in the first ten seconds.
this is NOT casually explained
Sorry sir, I'll be more serious about casually explaining correctly next time.
"we don't need casually explained, we have casually explained at home" .... that or "when you order casually explained from wish"
Nice video dude! You should make more like this!!!!
8 seconds in and I feel personally attacked. I say as I watch this while my machine runs
2:35 did not expect such an obscure simpsons reference lol
Hahaha I’m so glad you got it
Haha oh man, I've been poorly explaining machining for over 2 decades, well done my guy.
I do wish hollywood had more focus on manufacturing, I've watched a ton of your videos I had no idea you were a machinist.
I don't know if you've seen it, but MTDCNC is doing a machine shop rescue series, they're on season 2. Full disclosure I do contract video work for them, the series is one reason I wanted in.
0:02 so I'm not allowed to be here? Or do I count as a machinist? I study Mechatronics Robotics at a university of applied sciences and I have had a few courses on manufacturing engineering and have used a cnc mill once. Still watching this video because why not.
You can watch it but you definitely should not call yourself a machinist. Maybe run that CNC a few dozen more times at least.
@@korbynnull7666 I know lol, it wasn't meant seriously
Me: I work in tool & die"
Them: oh what colors do you dye screw drivers?
I feel attacked and require a coffee and a safe space
What is the only thing 2 machinists can agree on?
That the third machinist is doing it wrong.
Also applies to welders, electricians, plumbers, framers, masons, drywallers, and probably about 50 other trades.
Umm I’m a Mason but my job title is machinist.
Starting as a cnc master machinist (the teacher to cnc apprentices) next month and cant wait. CNC machining is totally awesome.
“So what do you do for work?”
Its at this point I usually pause and take a breath before saying “its hard to explain”
At my workplace we own a 3 axis CNC Machine for simple Metal working and mainly carving custom curcuit boards from a copper sheeted PCB plate.
I can HEAVILY relate to the part where you're about to press "start" and your past 15 minutes of setting up the machine flashes before your eyes looking for a mistake you could've made.
There was that one machinist movie with Christian Bale, who lost like a whole swarf-bucket worth of weight for the role of a machinist, and it showed some other machinists doing machinist things. And then one of the machinists got all messed up in a machine. And then Christian Bale's machinist character kinda went way off the deep end or something?
Can't think of the title but, was pretty cool I guess.
I program CNCs, no not the gcode, I make the firmware and all the plc crap so machinists can crash my toys
Thank you for your sacrifice. 🍻
I have a feeling he hates 3D printers
I do and I don’t.
I am not even 10 seconds in and i'm mad xD absolute legend
An ultra-precision metal sculptor who trains robots to do his job. And every time they do something wrong, it's your fault and you lose money.
Im a welder that has alot of manual machining experience. I liked this video
in my first job as a cnc operator/programmer i forgot to had the tool compensation on the program, the result was a dead spindle and a bent linear rail, i was so ashamed that i quit on the spot that moment is carved in my mind with so much detail that if measured properly it could attain RA 0.3 finish roughness
CNC machinist in QLD Australia, you hit the nail on the head, explaining what we do I usually say "I make chips"
thats perfect! (machinist for 25+ years)
I’m a CNC grinder and that pause before pressing Go is so real! Stomach does a flip with every G0 on a new program without a slow federate though XD
Oh man, the anxiety of smashing a CNC grinder must be intense!
That’s what I needed today going into my projects! 🎉
I'm a CNC Machinist all the way from Brazil. (For those of you guys that just discovered CNC Machines, now you discovered a new country also). Worked with Lathes first and now with mills, and if i break a tool it's usually the value of my monthly income. And no, i don't need to pay their value in money, i just pay in mental health like a good machinist.
Oh my god you FINALLY put it into words
Far over the Misty Mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away, ere break of day
To seek our pale enchanted gold
(the shop)
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells
While hammers fell like ringing bells
In places deep, where dark things sleep
In hollow halls beneath the fells
(the machines)
For ancient king and elvish lord
There many a gleaming golden hoard
They shaped and wrought, and light they caught
To hide in gems on hilt of sword
(the overdemanding customers)
On silver necklaces they strung
The flowering stars, on crowns they hung
The dragon-fire, on twisted wire
They meshed the light of moon and sun
(the parts)
Goblets they carved there for themselves
And harps of gold, where no man delves
There lay they long, and many a song
Was sung unheard by men or elves
(the social life)
convinced yet?
I'm sold. Is the bit about the dragon referring to the boss or the health and safety officer?
@@phoephoe795 Yes.
i immagine they are prismatic like in D&D
i was sitting here for a good minute staring at the title and thumbnail, wondering what the hell a machine had to do with consensual non-consent
I was sitting here for a good minute baked, thinking about your comment then gradually laughing louder and falling in love with your comment.
I saved this video to share with people knowing that I'll probably never put in the effort to look it back up and share it. Absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣
Yes give me free views 😄
@@machsuper I'm so "antisocial" I don't like using T9 to text on my non-touchscreen brick phone, so sharing videos takes on a whoooole new meaning 🤣 I'll do it for you though buddy keep on keepin on!!
Machinist from germany here 👋🏻
Thats the absolut worst… you double an triple check everything and can never be safe that everything goes like you think.
And the worst of all no matter how experienced you are…. You know in the next 5 years it is possible that a crash can happen… and it probably will happen… i f***ing love it
Well, if you’re starting an apprenticeship and you’re new to CAD software and cam software it’s actually very interesting to me.
But I can see how it bore the hell out of my trainer sometimes 😂
but I’ve had so much fun learning all this stuff like I really love CNC and the manual too and surface grinding .
We do all milling pretty much at the tool and dye shop I’m at.
The only time we turn that lathe on is to face and turn some pillars for a mold or do a one off.
We do a lot of mold fixing and replacing pins and things like that from machines on the other side where the mold people are that do that boring button pushing crap 😂
But truly, I love learning about the tooling, tool paths and the speeds and feeds and all of that stuff. I’ve really I picked the perfect career to start. I love it!
I really do enjoy what I do !
And I think that’s important to a healthier lifestyle .
And it only took a year and a half of college, which is awesome because I don’t owe much money.
it took me a while to find the shop that I wanted to start my apprenticeship at this is the third shop, but I finally found the one that I love with the right trainers that are patient and actually know how to teach.
I’m blessed with this shop. It’s a very good shop. It’s not huge. It’s a smaller shop, but it has great trainers constant work and a great environment
This video is funny.
Reminded me of me in some ways and reminded me a lot of some of the people at my shop 😂
This is spot on lol. Especially the part where you said people think cnc machines are like 3d printers.
One movie that doesn't do a half bad job at showing machining is the first minute of Chort Circuit. But then again it's only like a minute, you see a mill doing its thing, you see the controller for a second, You see a lathe and that's it.
2:21 3D printing hobbyist here, and this applies to me too
That is accurate, and I second it
cnc machining will convert any to the religion of the omnissiah.
This is incredibly accurate. The fear never goes away.
I hate how accurate this is
That opening has me like a slap in the face because I'm guilty of it. Currently running my horizontal while drilling some stainless at the moment. The rest of this video just hasn't he called out. Ya bastard 😅
As a machinist, I can see how confusing i can be when describing machining. I will now just tell people I control robots the size of an 1 bedroom apartment that cuts metal with a laser.
I went to school for Prototype and Design: I played with a lot of "toys": from table saws to mills to vacuum formers to lathes... the only tool you're not trained in is how to forge something with hammer (I ironicly do exactly that as a hobby).
I never took the classes on cnc coding, but I know the horror of a broken tool and a what happens when you mess up zeros... neither are a fun day.
Watching this at work while running a 3-axis Haas mill. The algorithm knows.
I usually just say that i cut things out of metal and they sort of kinda maybe understand.
i like . make more
I’d like to, but it is ripping off a the actual Casually Explained.
I feel attacked. I mean you're absolutely right... on all accounts... but still...
I hope i never have to see another CNC machine in my life lmao
No CNC machines, just Jelly Fish Machines?
@@machsuper LOL
3:00 no the hardest part is not the programming, its the clamping and vibrations especiallyfor thin parts. You can easily check if the program is written wrong to cause a crash.
Oh yeah, that prayer before the machine starts 😂
Fuck, I'd say us pilots need a video like this, but we got a 4 part stop motion lego series, so I cant bitch.
The Casually explained fit so damn well
Yeah you've had your turn! Machinists need some help looking cool to the world haha
Not me sitting at a machine waiting as fast as I can
A colleague of mine forgot to enter the drill bit length in his program so the machine slammed the drill into the table. Who had just been made perfectly flat.
He also came in drunk once from the night before, got sent home, forgot about the whole interaction and showed up again later.
Very funny ^^ I also love casually explained
The best part was working feet away from 3 other guys and only saying hi and bye.
I always touch off on the top of the part, set the offset, but then I add .100 in the z-axis to it before I press the start button. Single step it in and then, if it looks like a .100 above the top of the piece, it should be fine!
I may have laughed a little too hard at the problem solving bit of this video 😂😂😂
I might start sharing this with dudes that dont get it :)
Way better joke for the intro would have been that you're a G code developer, but you could always try being a G spot developer
Close your eyes and imagine the sound of you catastrophically crashing your 9-axis CNC mill along with your hopes, dreams, and career.
Non machinists will never know the joy of running a first off and just as the tool comes into contact with the material someone else in the shop drops something with a loud bang. They did make a movie about machinists, The Machinist, it makes us look cools and normal
I'm sending this to all my friends that still don't understand my job lmao
Everything is very precisely and clearly described👌👍
0:29 he out here doing that Face 6 machining with that coordinate sysyem.
Usually when you tell people you are a "machinist" they think you do a lot of sewing.
