I hope there is more footage of this! All the machines and tooling and accessories and seeing everything running was awesome. Time to get to work on my shop so I can get started running and learning my VMC!
+NYC CNC Your channel is my absolute favorite for learning about CNC machining. I honestly have a hard believing time you're self-trained and not a computer or civil engineer. Please keep sharing your knowledge and ideas, you're doing an outstanding job and have given me the confidence I need to build my own CNC milling machine. Although my career was law enforcement, I'm a lifelong DIY kind of guy, so watching this stuff is a blast for me and my two sons. Thanks again sir for promoting the industry and creating great video.
I was subbed to John Grimsmo and NYC CNC when they first started youtube. They have come a long way and I wish both of them the best and good luck in the future.
Hello friend, my name is diego am Brazilian and work with manual lathe , and I am fascinated by his work with cnc machines accompany all your videos , learn as much as I can with them thanks for sharing your knowledge
Finally a high-res, 60fps video of a CNC machine...I don't know why they're so rare (even many companies who produce these machines have bad quality footage).
Awesome video! I am the Samsung Machine Tools National Applications Manager and I just wanted to express a big THANK YOU for coming to see us at IMTS 2016! I hope you enjoyed what you saw! I also wanted to take a minute to clarify some things regarding our machines that you might find interesting and hopefully useful to know! Regarding the Mori Seike connection, Samsung Machine Tools came to be building machines for their domestic market (South Korea) under a technical license agreement with Mori Seike in 1991. What that means is Mori Seiki taught Samsung how to build the machines, allowed Samsung the use of all technical drawings, specifications, and the rights to build essentially the exact Mori Seike SL series machines Mori was previously building. Since our start in the USA 7 years ago the majority of our lathe line has used the Mori SL platform, being that the casting, turret, spindle, headstock, and tailstock are identical to the original SL machine. Strengths of using this construction are a heavy Meehanite torque tube casting with built in, flame hardened, and then ground box ways. An extremely thermally stable and robust spindle and headstock design. And a turret design with an extra wide saddle casting extending beyond the turret for extra support. All of these features made the SL series Mori's arguably most popular and longest running series to date, and these features have proven themselves again on our now over 2,000 machines in the USA with many very happy repeat customers. Regarding the machine you were specifically looking at in the video, the SL2000BSY, a little background first: this machine series was developed strictly by Samsung in recent years, with it's own design but still based on the original design principles learned in building the SL series machines. The SL2000ASY and SL2000BSY family are a basically identical machine, only difference being the chuck sizes and accompanying bore sizes. ASY is 6" main and 6" sub, BSY is 8' main and 6" sub. A question was ask the difference between the SL2000SY series and the SL2500SY series, the SL2500ASY and SL2500BSY are a very similar design to the SL2000SY but on a larger platform intended very simply, for slightly larger parts. The tooling size is BMT55 on the SL2000 series and BMT65 on the SL2500 series. The casting itself larger design to facilitate the large chucks, higher horsepower, and subsequently intended turning capacity. I hope you had a chance to walk down to our SL2500BSY for a cutting demonstration, the heavy cutting capability I think was well presented with it's demo! If not, perhaps we could get you guys out for a little Samsung USA factory tour! Once those 25 machines we had at the show have returned to us of course. If you have any specific questions on the machines, please feel free to let me know how I can help! You can also feel free to reach out to me personally at timb@samsungmachinetools.com
It was a pleasant meeting youtube channel of John Saunders and friends. John Grimsmo nice knives. We hear interesting things, viewpoints and experiences in the world of cnc at IMTS 2016 . Thank you for sharing knowledge and experience.
Awesome to hear that the IMTS was good for the exhibitors. I was at the AMB 2016 in Stuttgart (the equivalent to the IMTS) last week, all the other exhibitors told me it was an awful fair. In fact they told me it was worse than 2010. I hope this isn't a bad sign for the european manufacturing industry. People/Companies in Europe seem to be very scared to spend money.
It isn't easy maintaining a channel, uploading vids etc....you guys aren't afraid of work, not just in the shop but doing the marketing as well. Owning a small business isn't just about grinding out parts everyday. For me, the hardest part is marketing. You guys are like free advertising for these manufacturers.
I like your enthusiasm. Our country needs young people, millennials, interested in this stuff, the next generation to carry on and bring creativity and new ideas. Much like we have already done in the world of computing only this time in manufacturing like this. Though for the worker monetary rewards are not the same as in software development and employment is most typically unprotected and less certain.
That was great! You did manage to catch a couple of machines I am looking at for the "big" upgrade. So very happy about that! I am planning to attend the IMTS 2018; looking forward to that!
Great tour there John Nice to see the newer gun drill , I used to maintain the electrics on some war time ( no I am not that old but they still used them for pipe moulds ). They were 18 foot long all manual jobs , used it the war to drill, bore ,hone and rifle large gun barrels think war ship size 😀 Keep up the vidieos and congrats to you and yours on the new family member
theres not a lot of people there! i was at AMB 2016 on friday (similar to IMTS only in Stuttgart, Germany) and there the halls were packed with people! Most awesome booths were definitely DMG and INDEX. Just amazing machines :)
absolutely Awesome, just can't get enough out of seeing the creativity and genius that goes into making these machines, operating, and designing parts, and then making those parts on those machines... i can totally tell you Love what you do... if i had any sort of design sense i would love doing this sort of profession... but as i only have ideas and no practical skill or knowledge, i would need a person to work with to make things and help figure out how to get them to work right or within the limits of what is possible...
Well done, guys! We were right there next to you! Don't forget to check us out for some of the finest 100% Italian manufactured & Engineered Pneumatic Valves & Cylinders! Now available throughout the US from our Boston Dispatch Hub!
Dude, love watching you being a big kid at the show. I envy your energy. Would be great if more people had such a great attitude. Keep up the great work.
I always think I'm 6 months behind you but I finally feel like I'm catching up! I was researching Samsung a few days ago (MCV 380TD) and in contact with one of the reps today where I also got the Mori story. Funnier still I was also in contact with a Brother rep, I call him Brother Frank, who JUST got back from IMTS and was pitching me the virtues of the S1000. I thought I was leaning more towards the dual pallet R650 until I saw your video of the S1000. That is CRAZY. (I'm not going to get into MiteeBites.) :) IMTS. . . I'm still choked and every video is like salt in the wound but I can't seem to get enough. Another great video!
We run two of the old PL Samsung CNC lathes PL20 & PL25, they look pretty much identical to the older Mori lathes inside. Very accurate and rigid machines.
What I would suggest for anyone going to IMTS with some ideas, is to bring a program for a small part on a thumb drive, and a little bit of raw stock. You realize that half the stuff they make at the show are customer parts, some of their own prototypes, and demo parts they design for the show. It's always a great thing to see your parts run before you buy.
How could you possibly have a program that every single controller system there will accept? Beyond simple moves like making a circle or square I don't see the benefit of this. And yes of course they are setup to show off their machines. That's entirely the point. It's the same deal when you watch demos of cutting tools and they plow through material at blazing speeds and insane depths. They've spent months tweaking those paths for those cutters to be precisely on the ragged edge of breaking.
the handoff with both spindles rotating like that was just to demonstrate the synchronization of the spindles. in practice it's only used when cutting your part off of a longer bar from a bar feeder or slug that can be used to make several parts.
If you're looking at high value lathes, you have to consider Miyano. They are built like tanks and apparently last until the end of time. You are left with a Mitsibishi or Fanuc control though as they are production machines.
Yea, that L300M with the sub spindle and (if you *really* need it, Y axis) is a great machine. Unless you need the crazy precision of Grimsmo's Nak, I wouldn't put up with the Fanuc control on the Samsung... Okuma's OSP300 is really nice. Also, you can work out a package deal with the M560! (I'm looking at the M560 or a Brother next year, and it's a super touch decision... you're work though, I would think the big size of the Okuma would win out... working inside a Robodrill/Brother for setups/prototyping is a PITA)
Astro machine works in Pennsylvania has an enormous 5 or 6 axis cnc mill that you could make a full length truck if you had a large enough block of material. The owner told me it was the largest one on the east coast. I career shadowed someone there who works with a big Mazak 6 axis machine with about 32 available tool changes. I don't remember the brand of the large machine but it was amazing
Oh that hurts! My index finger is almost hovering over the "Buy" button for my Tormach 1100, and you tease us with all of this awesome automation. Hahaha! Oh well, we all have to start somewhere right?
were in nyc is your shop i usually go back home every other month i just started working in a machine shop about 1 1/2 ago and im fascinated with it especially with cnc machine and programming
20:30 I love seeing turbine/ compressor blades being cut. Strange tool paths, but they are extraordinarily precise how they have to be made. Normally hours for a single blade. Typically use those kind of cuts because the material work hardens. Inconel is a definite pain to work with as it work hardens quite quickly, so aggressive cuts have to be made to get the rough shape, then ceramics are used to finish it off.
Thanks for the video, wonder what the electricity bill was during the event! Does anyone know if each display had to pay for energy consumption or is it only a sq. foot rate?
So much drool worthy stuff just in the video. I wish I could have gone just to wonder. On a side note, can you imagine what the power 🔌 bill was for that show... OMG!!! 💸😳💰
I kind of wish I'd gotten the s1000x1. I had the opportunity to get the floor model for not too much more, but idk. It would be like a year before I could have actually afforded the extra cost with orange vises to make use of the extra space Is there new machine in your future? :) I cannot imagine what a crazy amount of effort there is just in wiring those machines up. I wanted to ask, did you see any competitors to the orange vise pallet system? The only thing I've seen is Kurt's setup, which is smaller and with pricier pallets Those tanks! Incredible! An AB Tools factory tour will be super interesting. Grinding gets so much less exposure. Okay that's enough commenting for one video haha. Thanks for taking the time to record so much, John!
Very cool video, makes me really wish I was there just to look around, learn, and explore even though I could afford none of it. I actually *really* want one of those miniature tanks.
I am 7 years late… Samsung did not make the old Mori lathes, that was Hwacheon which is also a Korean builder, Hwacheon is also the highest end Korean builder.
JOHN! have John Grimsmo put up his footage of IMTS. I know you brought it up on an earlier podcast, but I need it now (maybe not, but i do want to see his perspective)
Hey John, great video. I was short of visiting with you guys by about 1 hour. I forgot my ticket at work and got stuck in traffic on the drive in. I was hoping to ask you a question about the Tormach slant pro post. When I received my slant pro I tried the tormach post in fusion 360 but couldn't get it to output -x values for my gang tooling. I tried tinkering with it and even called tormach. They told me they didn't officially support it and to try the fusion 360 post forum. So I did and found a gentleman that pretty much rewrote the tormach post for his gang tool setup. So I'm using his post. The problem is I have been having issues with it not doing the x rapid moves at the end of certain toolpaths like parting. It leaves out the G0 but not all the time, so I have to edit it and it's becoming tedious. I posted a comment in the persons thread regarding the issue but he said it was a fusion growing pain issue and to use .02 for my lead out.While that works to a certain extent it doesn't always put the lead out or rapid where it should. So my question to you is if I went back to the official tormach slant pro post how do I get it to use negative x values? Do I just select a tool number higher than a certain value? If you can help that would be great. Thanks again for the great videos.
I hope there is more footage of this! All the machines and tooling and accessories and seeing everything running was awesome. Time to get to work on my shop so I can get started running and learning my VMC!
Brian, IMTS has their own YT channel.
Thanks again for stopping by John! It's always a pleasure to catch up with you. -Stephen
For a new cnc 140k is a good price

It's great to see footage from these massive exhibits, thanks for your efforts!
You guys are awesome, great video! Thank you for coming by the Yamazen booth!
It was a pleasant meeting youtube channel of John Saunders and friends.
John Grimsmo nice knives.
We hear interesting things, viewpoints and experiences in the world of cnc at IMTS 2016 .
Thank you for sharing knowledge and experience.
Amazing show John! I sure missed out. That was great getting to meet and talk to Avi!
Acompanho teu canal daqui do Sul do Brazil,só falta você por CNC na tua oficina também amigo,um forte abraço
If I won the lottery, I'd be broke if I went to this show.
Awesome to hear that the IMTS was good for the exhibitors. I was at the AMB 2016 in Stuttgart (the equivalent to the IMTS) last week, all the other exhibitors told me it was an awful fair.

i have been using one of those noga indicator holders for a few years now. use it multiple times a day and it works perfect!
I like your enthusiasm. Our country needs young people, millennials, interested in this stuff, the next generation to carry on and bring creativity and new ideas.

Holy Cow! That is way more awesome than I had every thought. Thanks for posting, great coverage! Thanks again for the good video of the Brother.
That was great! You did manage to catch a couple of machines I am looking at for the "big" upgrade. So very happy about that! I am planning to attend the IMTS 2018; looking forward to that!
wow those were amazing machines,especially that one where you can add material.This is the future
@ 11:27 look at the monitor screen in the background, it shows that cooling turning tool and how it works, awesome tooling
Thanks for the effort you put in to make these videos. It's like being there !!!
Nice coverage. It was great to hang out with you and check out some amazing machines.
NYC CNC
Great tour there John
Nice to see the newer gun drill , I used to maintain the electrics on some war time ( no I am not that old but they still used them for pipe moulds ). They were 18 foot long all manual jobs , used it the war to drill, bore ,hone and rifle large gun barrels think war ship size 😀

hi john that brother one the speed omg. love the tanks
Nice to see the ANCA near the end, Aussie made. Did my training on a ANCA retrofitted Bridgeport.
WOW!!! So many great machines at the show!!!
It's really out standing machines can't easily describe
Well done, guys! We were right there next to you! Don't forget to check us out for some of the finest 100% Italian manufactured & Engineered Pneumatic Valves & Cylinders! Now available throughout the US from our Boston Dispatch Hub!
It's great to see your and John G's enthusiasm!
Was at this show for the first time last week, pretty awesome!
Dude, love watching you being a big kid at the show. I envy your energy. Would be great if more people had such a great attitude. Keep up the great work.
IMTS was such a blast. Those Brother S1000s are awesome, but I so want a Genos M560V.
I always think I'm 6 months behind you but I finally feel like I'm catching up! I was researching Samsung a few days ago (MCV 380TD) and in contact with one of the reps today where I also got the Mori story.

IMTS. . . I'm still choked and every video is like salt in the wound but I can't seem to get enough. Another great video!
I got to go to IMTS 2014 for a CVTC field trip, never will forget it.
Great meeting the both of you at the show! BTW, the video quality on this 4K screen is insane! Catch you guys on IG. (: (: (:
At 37:45 is that a gun drill or a line boring machine? I always thought gun drilling was just an operation not a type of machine.
Awesome video, really enjoyed it, super exciting, some crazy machines...
very cool...thanks for sharing! did you happen to see the Nook Industries booth?
What an awesome place would love to see that in person, outstanding video John!

No, it would be hard to get a program that would work in all cases. But, I'd pick a couple and see if they'd let you run a trial test.
Have you ever used a hydraulic pull cylinder with the Mitee Bite clamps? In your video I saw a hydraulic demo on the table.
Those models at 20:58!!! Are all the hand offs done live like that 31:04?! I've never seen that before.
the handoff with both spindles rotating like that was just to demonstrate the synchronization of the spindles. in practice it's only used when cutting your part off of a longer bar from a bar feeder or slug that can be used to make several parts.
who produced these. I know they are just porn but it doesnt mention their manufacturer
If you're looking at high value lathes, you have to consider Miyano. They are built like tanks and apparently last until the end of time. You are left with a Mitsibishi or Fanuc control though as they are production machines.
At first I thought..."38min??......nah".......but holy cow was that cool!!!! Thanks!!! :)
Nice to dream what if when looking at those machines. Waiting to see it one took a liking to you and follows you home sometime.
Love your enthusiasm. Beautiful video.
Is John stepping up? AWESOME!
The Okuma Genos lathes though dude...
Yea, that L300M with the sub spindle and (if you *really* need it, Y axis) is a great machine. Unless you need the crazy precision of Grimsmo's Nak, I wouldn't put up with the Fanuc control on the Samsung... Okuma's OSP300 is really nice. Also, you can work out a package deal with the M560!

Love your field trips John
were in nyc is your shop i usually go back home every other month i just started working in a machine shop about 1 1/2 ago and im fascinated with it especially with cnc machine and programming
Very cool stuff.
So when is the Speedio being delivered? :-)
Man! I wish I knew you were going to be there, was there Thurs/Fri/Sat would love to talk to you guys, one of my favourite machining blogs!!!!
I was there all day Wednesday, too bad I didn't run into you guys. unfortunately had to spend most of the day hanging out in our machineless booth
20:30
I love seeing turbine/ compressor blades being cut. Strange tool paths, but they are extraordinarily precise how they have to be made. Normally hours for a single blade. Typically use those kind of cuts because the material work hardens. Inconel is a definite pain to work with as it work hardens quite quickly, so aggressive cuts have to be made to get the rough shape, then ceramics are used to finish it off.
This is similar to the mach one I went to in the uk, very impressive but tiring day! Was doosan at the imts?
Thanks for the video, wonder what the electricity bill was during the event! Does anyone know if each display had to pay for energy consumption or is it only a sq. foot rate?
Noga stall was the highlight for me , cant believe how many A Bombs were dropped 💣💣🎆
Thank you for the tour.
So much drool worthy stuff just in the video. I wish I could have gone just to wonder.
On a side note, can you imagine what the power 🔌 bill was for that show... OMG!!! 💸😳💰
Awesome! I want to attend one sooo bad one day! Thanks for the great footage! :-)
that dmc........ holy crap!
disappointed skynet wasn't their........ or were they?
DMG Mori Milltap 700 is on my list to look at.
That's an awesome little machine from what I've seen. Can get it rigged up for full simultaneous 5 axis too.
I put a sheet of my Bridgeport while watching these videos, so she doesn't feel inadequate :D
get the okuma, my company is buying a 3rd one soon. great machine tool
Great documentry- very informative.
Thanks!!!
great video! do you know anyone else who made videos similar to your walk through for us wish we were there people?
those tanks, they sell them or is it just for demo?
What a great video! I got IMTS feelings. Do you come to JIMTOF 2016?
Great tour!! Amazing machines!!
Never been to IMTS, but regularly go to Eastec - a TAD smaller
well done thanks for the update it wont be long before software makes and assemble and create very cool
Like a kid in a candy store!
he reminds me of linus (linustechtips) when he's at ces or pax haha
Awesome video :-) Gets me thinkun :-) So many great ideas...
I kind of wish I'd gotten the s1000x1. I had the opportunity to get the floor model for not too much more, but idk. It would be like a year before I could have actually afforded the extra cost with orange vises to make use of the extra space
Is there new machine in your future? :)
I cannot imagine what a crazy amount of effort there is just in wiring those machines up.
I wanted to ask, did you see any competitors to the orange vise pallet system? The only thing I've seen is Kurt's setup, which is smaller and with pricier pallets
Those tanks! Incredible!
An AB Tools factory tour will be super interesting. Grinding gets so much less exposure.
Okay that's enough commenting for one video haha. Thanks for taking the time to record so much, John!
wow amazing. if I wold like to go next year . I need invention or just buy ticket ?
Very cool video, makes me really wish I was there just to look around, learn, and explore even though I could afford none of it. I actually *really* want one of those miniature tanks.
I loved the brother's tool changer
I can't believe I didn't see you at IMTS. It would have been awesome to get a chance to talk to you about your projects! :)
I'm in love. Where is this !!??
What's your reason for not liking a fanuc control on the Samsung lathe
I came for the thumb. Is it in the video?
HEAVEN!!!
Man no makino? You gotta go to that booth!
what machine is at 20:16??
holy shit this is in the McCormick convention center in Chicago! I live in Chicago! Dammit I should've gone!!!
this camera is a go pro 5 ?
The brother machines are BAD ASS. I bet Grismo is having some buyers remorse over the Nak seeing those Bro's.....
Hey John - There should be another Machine Expo 2017 coming soon. . . I can't make it. Hopefully though I'll get to see You there... LJR111
I am 7 years late… Samsung did not make the old Mori lathes, that was Hwacheon which is also a Korean builder, Hwacheon is also the highest end Korean builder.
JOHN! have John Grimsmo put up his footage of IMTS. I know you brought it up on an earlier podcast, but I need it now (maybe not, but i do want to see his perspective)
Hey John, great video. I was short of visiting with you guys by about 1 hour. I forgot my ticket at work and got stuck in traffic on the drive in. I was hoping to ask you a question about the Tormach slant pro post. When I received my slant pro I tried the tormach post in fusion 360 but couldn't get it to output -x values for my gang tooling. I tried tinkering with it and even called tormach. They told me they didn't officially support it and to try the fusion 360 post forum. So I did and found a gentleman that pretty much rewrote the tormach post for his gang tool setup. So I'm using his post. The problem is I have been having issues with it not doing the x rapid moves at the end of certain toolpaths like parting. It leaves out the G0 but not all the time, so I have to edit it and it's becoming tedious. I posted a comment in the persons thread regarding the issue but he said it was a fusion growing pain issue and to use .02 for my lead out.While that works to a certain extent it doesn't always put the lead out or rapid where it should. So my question to you is if I went back to the official tormach slant pro post how do I get it to use negative x values? Do I just select a tool number higher than a certain value? If you can help that would be great. Thanks again for the great videos.
that was seriously cool! 😀😀
