If you've ever taken shop class in high-school or watched an episode of how it's made, you have probably have some idea how lathes and other metalworking machines function. As technology and computers have improved over the years, a new high-precision computer controlled manufacturing technique called CNC machining has spawned.
CNC machines, or computer numerically controlled machines, are electro-mechanical devices that can manipulate tools around a varying number of axis, usually 3 or 5, with high-precision per instruction from a computer program. CNC machining is one of two ways that engineers, machinists, or makers can generate a physical part from a computer design file, with the other being 3D printing, known as additive manufacturing.

Apologies for my voice in this video, it was completely shot thanks to a cold. It happens sometimes since I try to keep to a weekly upload schedule. Check out some of our other content if this interested you!
Lol, was gonna ask if you're going through puberty again. :P
@@NBGTFO Ha, there was like a 6 month period where I got sick and lost my voice every few weeks, it was rough LOL.
It's not really a big deal don't beat yourself over it
WHERE CAN i LOOK AT CNC VOCABULARY?

As a 20 year old that runs 3 5-axis machines 11 hours a day I can say it really is a good industry to work in.
How difficult is it to start at a entry level experience? I applied for cnc job and have 0 experience
I just started a cnc job with zero experience lol have no clue what I am doing
It should t take too long to atleast get familiar and I’d say that if your competent you should be able to effectively use a machine without too much assistance in 7 months
How much a cnc machine cost?
Is it safe to work with cnc machine?
thank god for this video, I spent like 20 minutes trying to understand how cnc machining works and I found this vid which really saved me
Joanna Lee I agree! This is a cool video!
Me too

Sama tässä ;)
I’m a machinist apprentice and I’m learning program, setup and run CNC milling machines.
I’ve always enjoyed making stuff with my hands, especially wood and metalworking. I got interested in machining during early High School and signed up for my apprenticeship Junior year.
I wanted too be a manual machinist but I now see why CNC machining is the way of the future and the huge advantages it has. I still enjoy me some good old milling on a Bridgeport though
How much is the pay?
I'm a 2nd year mechanical engineering student and I love machining too. Especially the lathe one.
Hi, can I talk u? Do u have what's up num?
@@Jnoel608 here in Brazil it is not good...

CNC. The only job you'll love to hate. Been doing this for almost 10 years now. The good out weighs the bad, but when the bad hits it sucks.
Getting a 1st time run is always fun. Gotta be on you're toes. Like they say A great engineer/programmer can make your job manageable as a machinist. And a bad one will help you learn through experience fixing their screw ups.
@M T usually tool crashes, program errors, bad math/dyslexic moments when programming. Even stupid shit, like a run going good and a part just off size enough to break a probe stylus. Always have to expect the unexpected, and be prepared for nothing making sense to make perfect sense.
Pay pretty good ? Is school required for CNC positions ? I've been operating ID Card Press and Paper Web Press for 19yrs now, and just want to try something new. Thanks.. 🤔🤔🤞🏻

@@ISILENTNINJAI I would think this was cool. Ive never done Set up for other machines to be able to then watch the machine do the work. It literally tickles my funnybone to see a machine do that. Never done any CNC work but I put all my attention in just to watch that happen...way cool. Ive always said work fascinates me I could watch it all day.

Cool video - if I may ask, which program do you use to create /edit the final video?
I am applying to be a CNC machinist , i had an internship at a cnc company before but that was long ago and i had forgotten alot this video helped me alot with reminding me the essence of CNC machining while also giving me additional information about it. Great Video Thank You SO much!
I work as a cnc machinist for over 9 years now, planing to open my own shop now, have the ability to buy and programm turning and milling machnes also good at programming robot hands, also have experience in 5 axis programming, but mostly we run same parts so not so much programming there, programm in Siemens NX. Love my job, where i work is very clean, fun people, always something new to learn. Its a job where you always learn something new, it has no boundries what makes it fun for me. Love it! but its not for everyone.
Is it difficult to learn this trade ? I have a job interview for this type of work. Apparently willing to train.
mike wells Yes, its hard as a setup engineer, plus much longer time overall to learn this trade than any other i would say. But if you will get a good couch, what is rare, then your half way there brother.
If operator then its just plug and play mostly you will get a hang of it fast.
@@mikewells4632 if it were easy, everyone would do it. Is it worth the blood sweat and tears? Yes 💯
I have 13 years with a lot of Fanuc controls, but recently got handed a 2018 DMU 50 and NLX 2500 700, we use hypermill instead of NX. But Jesus, switching to Siemens from Fanuc is a bit of a brain buster. But it’s coming together.
when you say it's not for everyone what do you mean exactly?
Im a student my degree is Mechatronics and next year im gonna start working with CNC Machines this really helped me understand how they work and i find it very fun and satisfying. Thank you and good luck

This is a decent video for beginners getting into the trade. You can get super in depth with machining.
Thank you SO much. Was up late doing a last minute assessment about this and your video literally saved my life. THANK YOU

its amazing to see how technology is advancing and incorporating itself into the modern world and everyday life, i remember when it used to be manual machining with a lathe machine and now you have something that you can programm and just monitor it to do all the work.. pretty amazing
Very informative & helpful for a layman to understand basics.
Thanks!✌🏻
One of the best videos about CNC basics!! Thks!
I enjoyed watching this video, it really explains everything in detail, the video is very interesting and effective. Thank you and good luck with the upcoming updates.
highly detailed and informative!! deserve millions of subs dude
I Remember the First time I Saw A CNC Machine Was At A Robotics Convention Last Year. It Was Amazing And So Fascinating. In My Tech Class In The Beginning Of the year we had to build a Structure Using 3D Printers and That Was So Much Fun.
THANK you For this video it really Made Me Understand Much better Than What i used to.
I'm working in this field and I love it
Glad to hear it! 🙂 I work on the software side in the manufacturing field 🙂
Is the pay good??
It can be depending upon location. Overtime is usually where the money is really at, but a starting machinist can earn anywhere from 12-20/hr with experienced precision machinists making as much as 40 or 50 an hour.
What cnc machines you work with?
@Krazy0ManMan that's my plan as well. Best advice is to learn as much as you can. Programming especially. Once you can program the machines, your halfway there.
Great information 👍🏽 I’ve always wondered what CNC meant and the process behind it.
Thanks! Apart from making these videos, I work marketing for CAD/CAM software, so this one was fun to make for me. 🙂
I have just started working for ANCA 2 weeks in its good to see how the machine actually functions as I work in the warehouse side of the business.
Been doing this for 10 years. Love it.

Excellent video, which clearly explains what CNC machines are, and how they work.
im studying CNC machines and i want to get ahead of the competition to just dominate everyone in my class so i just want to say thank you so much for this video it really helped
Excellent video. Thanks so much for putting it together.

Why cut finger nails when you can get lasik for nails?

Good job man
I can vouch for Titans of CNC Academy, it's a great source for learning !
Titans awesome! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him and interviewing him a few times for my day job! Fantastic learning tool and amazing man.
I have been doing CNC machine work for a little over 3 years. I have work with plastics for medical and science development in the beginning of my career path. I now work with Bronze and I'm in the United steel workers union, I would highly recommend getting into CNC machine work for anyone out there that wants a job where you feel like you have accomplished something at the end of the day. For example, I make memorial flag markers for our fallen veterans, fire fighters, and police officers. It's a great feeling to be apart of something like that. If you are watching this video because you're thinking about getting into this career path. Don't think about it anymore. DO IT.......💯
How does one start doing it? I'd love to do something like this.
Great content, keep it up!
Thanks! We will be for the foreseeable future, so stick around 😉✌🏻
Best information for all new generation 😊😊😊😊😊😊thank you so much sir 🙂🙂🙂
I work in programing CNC milling machines, a few are 3-axis and a few are 5-axis and it is the best thing about my job. Mold milling is my favourite
Awesome! I work in CAD/CAM tech marketing 🙂
It is awesome :D Isn't it

Informative.
great explaination
Love you hard work
Great video. 👍
Proud to be a CNC machinist at GE aviation very complex work
Hey buddy, no one gives a fu!ck , brag somewhere else sch!muck
@@dungeontv143 why are you so mad lol
This is such a dying trade that doesn’t get much recognition... my father has been a machinist since he was 17 he is 63 and still working as a machinist
It's not dying just the robots do more
I have to get into this!
Thanks for this valuable vedio ❤
Very enlightening.
good job
Cool video!
Marked. This video is helpful for CNC new entrants.
My older brother has around more than 18 years of experience and he’s pushing me to learn about it . Hopefully I learn something once I start my course @ college 😮
wesome content! Interesting!
Great overview. Would like to know more….
Thank you for this
One thing that annoyed me with the lathes we had in college was the lack of precision on the digital display.
Not sure if that is a common issue though, but one thing is certain... mistakes were made.. !
Verry good👍👍
standard machining is thou in the USA but micron and mm in metric country
I like cnc machining it is an interesting machining process that I may use someday in the future.

I bout to begin working in this field and I need to know everything
I've been doing it for 8 yrs, My tips are Keep your eyes and ears open and don't be a know it all, it's hard to teach people like that and I see a lot of them. ;-)
Christie Taylor how do I get started ?
@@kylefoster9270 Go to machining school? If you can't afford it, there are lots of free resources. Search Titans of CNC: Academy here on TH-cam, fish around in the description below the videos because he offers a free machining academy. I hope that helps!
If you plan on knowing everything about machining you'll need to live a very long time!!
I move these machines around factory's and love it ! But yes there are getting very expensive and advanced
Nice video
Machinists- an Engineers hero
I'm a former CNC machinist and it's a very, very rewarding career, if you land a job with a good company.
Iam working as a helper in a shop , seems hard to me I would like to learn but its alot of things , what do you recommend me please
@@ckompadavid138 the only thing I can recommend is that you pay very close attention to a very good CNC machinist. It's a lot to take in the beginning, but given time you'll be fine. One very important thing. Before you run a program on the CNC run it through a blank cycle. The reason I say that is because sometimes the programmer sometimes places decimals in the wrong spot. Just take your time and read every line in the program.

*regards from peru*
god job bro!!!
I'm decent using the KCD software, would that be of any use getting a CNC machine to manufacture myself with no CNC experience or how would that work? I currently buy products from a major manufacture for most of my major stuff but I can custom make some stuff by hand. I just want to know to possibly better my small business
My dad was a CNC machinist, and had to learn g-code. He's pushing me to learn it too, but doesn't realize it's somewhat automatic now
I used one of these machines to make a cupping die for a college project.
CNC machining are GOD level, and driven today's modern world and everything,they are the top of performance level 🙏🙏🙏
Ur voice is awesome.
Thank you! 😄

3:46 i guess it has been said countless times but the coordinate system is rotated in the wrong direction^^ Z should be up
So... Could you use a CNC machine to MAKE a CNC machine??? 🤔🤔 Also watching the machine work is so satisfying
Lauren Oney go watch Haas factory tours. Machines making machines.
Haas uses a lot of Okumas to make more Haas machines, I have always found that funny.
@@brycelaing7603 wouldnt blame them. From what I hear Okumas are top notch. Always been told to run far and fast if offered a chance to run one though.
@@JustAGuyWithALongScreenName Deckel - Maho are better...
@@mehanikal5639 I've heard that. Never had the luxury to run one though.
Such a nice explanation
Super sir
Could you suggest me some platform for learning control panel designing and industrial automation??
if i want to start with a small business wish one you recommend?
At Grip6 our Engineers use CNCs to Improve all of our machines. We also use CNCs for our Wallets.
Good
AWESOME! CNC
