As a lady engaged in the production and sales of titanium industry industry,I also like and appreciate your style of teaching,spiring,amazing...all in all,too much harvest from it,and I will keep following,many thanks...
I subscribed. Not just for your knowledge packed videos, but also because you deserve it for all you've overcome and your great attitude.
Once I started watching these videos and 2x speed, I enjoyed them 10x more.
1.5x is perfect
Perfect now
Wow, you're right. 1.5x is plenty fast enough for me but you're right. Speed up is better.
That was funny but you are right:)
Hilarious watching his mouth move that fast. Like a muppet
You are the type of person that drives others to do their best. Yes, you get a few bad apples but God always seems to replace the rotten with a better crop. I'm almost 70 years old and I'm selling my 13" South Bend because I'm not physically able to run it like I want to. I'm going to consider a CNC Lathe, a small one in the $7,000 - $10,000 range or a CNC Veridical Mill. I would like to see if I could make a go of making parts. I plan to pray about it and study what programs that might help me on my way. You are a winner Sir, Go Bless.
At the end of my Apprenticeship, I was running a Vertical Machine Center (VMC).
I did the setup, programming, tooling, and running the job.
We had small turning job that would normally go on a lathe. The lathes were fully in use.
I mounted a turning tool in the vice, installed the part into a collet, and did the turning work.
Manager was impressed.
[08/01/22] Creative "out of the box" thinking. Luckily, it seems that the part was small enough that it could fit in a collet. Good on you. 👍💪
@@oceanic8424 Thank you!!
Titan you are an amazing person! You overcame very difficult things and still manage to be amazing and keep moving forward. I have had an extremely difficult life and I keep my head up also. I am at 1 of my lower points right now but I feel that your inspiration is very positive and has made me feel like I can overcome this. Now I just need to figure out how to keep my guys busy in the winter months and make more cash because we really rock during the summer months. Thank you for your inspiration Titan!
it really shows that you need creativity in order to bring your game to the next level of productivity and cost, and thus stay on top.. hardwork, passion, honest, and attention to detail no longer can cut it. and this “creativity” is what set apart people from the top dog to the rest..
It's not only about creativity but about geniusity
I really take all your advices really seriously, because I know that you have very extensive experience in all aspects that involve the Machininig industry. Thank you Titan and god bless you
One million dollar baby, BOOOOMM
You're a bad man Titan, and as a CNC machinist for over 5 years I have a small understanding of your skills. Especially with your education and support of the craft. Much, much respect!
Titans, as always knocking these videos out the park with solid quality content! Thank you!
How can you say that? You barely get to see any close ups of the part as he explains it, and you never get to know what the part is actually for.
This is what people need to see to understand how to make money. I have learned a lot from your videos, especially work holding. Work holding and approach to machining is key to increasing productivity. Thank you Titan!
Very smart you ended up on the horizontal, we had the same situation at a shop I worked at back in 1992. We had a rotary fixture that held 12 parts, 3 on each face. The fixture was shaped like a plus sign if you look at it from the end like where the tailstock is. This allowed access to the inside and outside of the part which was roughly five inch diameter cap looking part of cast aluminum. One of the temp service employees left a locator in a part and wrecked the fixture to where it was unable to continue making in tolerance parts. The parts were then moved over to tombstones on a Mitsubishi horizontal with a much better fixture set up.
I really like this guy and what he`s doing with the academy for newbs like me.. Seems to be very genuine, Way to go !
Oh man this was a good one. Seeing the evolution and hearing the thought process is really cool. Id like to see more parts like this and the way they evolved!
I can see that you really enjoy this CNC lark. 50 years I have been doing this (even though I am now retired? - ‘says who’ says the wife) and I still enjoy it but sadly don’t have the resources to play like you do. Keep it up Titan, I enjoy your posts and am learning still.
You motivate me every day men...good bless youu...keep up doing good work
Excellent description of the evolution of a simple parts' methodizing, as production numbers ramp up.
Then, when you get the production process running super fast, accurately, and smoothly, the part becomes obsolete ...........
:)
That's when you get another folder full of prints, or a digital folder full of DXF files, and you go thru the evolution process on a new part.
Again, excellent explanation of the process.
...and then the "customer" takes its outsourcing to China and you're f*cked.
Hello from Australia well done very inspiring thanks
We do this with Lang Quick Point point sub plates on the 4th axis; it allows us to have the spindle running while the operator loads parts outside the machine with 2 micron repeatability just by putting the mounting studs on our fixtures. For smaller quantities, we run a Lang vise in the plate and we'll just prestamp aluminum tooling plate for repeatability and make really cheap fixtures to run 5, 10, 20 parts at once on the 4th. By swapping Mitee Bite clamps from plate to plate for the smaller runners we can have a specialized fixture for $20-50 worth of aluminum and an hour or two of programming and cutting.
Great job, keeps me motivated to continue the job like a CNC Machinist, former CNC Programmer
Superb explanation ! Awesome. :::: Wish list for future vids ----> Hard milling and maybe hard turning. Thanks for making this !
Great video Titan. Love your attitude and your knowledge.
Hey, man, you kick ass! Thanks for the free education and inspiration. Keep winning!
love to hear more about THIS
The 12 thumbs down are probably the people mad about "their trade secrets" being given away for free. Lol
Great stuff Mr. Titan! Bless the youth!
Awesome Video!! Fixture video are my favorite keep them coming.
Worked for a company in South TX. Saved them over $250,000 with 4hrs of OT. Sorry Kawneer. More importantly guys got to keep their jobs. Keep learning and stay humble!
Your biceps are looking bigger bro ! love that 4th axis jaw. and how you explained the importance of datums.
Great video, thanks for being champions of the industry
Love these videos! Getting my first machine in near future.
Would love to see/hear more on 3d metal printing. Especially intricate shapes such as cannot be easily machined.Great overview of the subject Titan. Kudos. Boom!
search powder metal injection molding
Titan has some videos on that, and he talked about how it allowed him to make otherwise impossible to machine parts
and this folks is how you pay for you CNC in no time at all! Medical and Military parts are the way to make you rich, if you're willing to put in the time and effort. But most high precision parts in high volumes can make you good money.
Great work guys! And thanks for sharing!
I believe his company is located in California. So if you add in all the taxes, regulations and extortion. He really only pockets $100,000 lol
Yeah man! Nothing like filling my pocket on other peoples misery! Its the tax payer paying for the millitary anyway, and high medical cost aint my fault either, blame those colleges tuitions.
Thank you TITANS. I'am your subsciber from indonesia. In Indonesia there are very few sources of knowledge about CNC machines. This is very helpful
Fixtures are the key to success.
Really cool man, keep up the greatness.
Thanks for video looks great!!!
boomm great part the most important workholding for more productivity.
I am loving this channel! Great content!
Continues improvement.... Kaizen...👍
I love it man. Hope one day I'll have money to purchase a cnc and get into this.
Hey I'm an aerospace machinist mainly cutting composite materials. I love metal work and wish I did more of it but wonder if you have any composite jobs in your shop and if so would love to see how you machine that material.
Really good work
New subscriber, what you are doing is inspiring!
Looks like a medical instrument, Similar to what my last naigbor would make, He had 1 Bridgeport, 1 engine lathe, He was a true artist, took him about a month to make one assembly, He has passed on, and it was one of old time machinist that could answer any question, I learned a bunch from him
And here I am thinking with a six axis machine it would be just one pass process. Nice job.
Great fixturing mate 👍
Greetings from Poland. I love what you do, keep going!!
Good name ;)
Hey Titan, I know you love to overcome challenging machining scenarios and make them easy. How about machining a component out of carbide?
Great video!
Did you kiss 😘 it into tolerance lol
Great video really well put
Haven’t had a chance to mess with horizontal mill yet
Great video. I would like to know more about your classes
Very inspiring
Great video. Can you do a video on tab machining on 5 axis. I’ve seen on Instagram where people machine a complex component complete and then leave tabs so it can be broken off. I know Fusion 360 can do this as I’ve done it on some thin 3 axis parts. But what I’d like you to cover is the process of machining the tabs on a 5 axis after the part is completed. Hope this makes sense. Keep up the good work.
I'd like to more 3D CNC Milling
Your mastermind sir
Boom...just subscribed to the channel!!!
i love this channel
An affordable CNC milling machine for a beginners first machine? Maybe an OTS unit that with minimal upgrades, will serve the beginner well for the initial steps of learning the craft. Maybe even a components list for an affordable, quality DIY rig for learning on.
Hey Titan. I don't know if you remember me from when you started your vlogs but I just wanted to let you know that things are looking up for me. I never could find someone to buy my boss's company but someone referred him to one of my instructors from school who had just opened a shop and he's making a deal to slowly sell the business. So, now I get to work with people who know what they are doing AND I'm making more than a pittance. I'm slowly buying tooling but right now, a little Smithy 1220 xl is all I have for my own jobs. I had to rebuild it too. lol I'm so dirt-poor, a friend got it for me off some guy's junk pile for $200. I just got it back together a couple days ago and it looks like it's gonna hold +/-.001". Makes me feel kinda proud of myself.
Still, my soon-to-be old boss is going to end up scrapping some old machines which leads me to a question...
Do you know if a Mori-Seiki SL-2, made in 1984 (i think) which has a 12 station turret, does not have live tooling and no tailstock, with 8,400 spindle hours, which currently can not home or "zero" the z axis, is worth putting 5 grand or more into if I get it for $500? He has another Mori, AL-2 which has a mach3 conversion and the hydraulics gave out. He'll probably let that go for about $500 also.
Just best thoughts, off the top of your head, if you have a minute.
So about that part.
I love challenges like that. I'm wondering though, with the customer already spending a million dollars on that part, has the subject of finding another way to manufacture it ever come up? I love CNC's but I've worked around a lot of custom PLC's too and when you've already made enough of them to cost a million bucks it makes me wonder if making a PLC machine just for that part isn't warranted.
Mind you, I'm not experienced with making them, only running them. So, I am really asking you as apposed to offering advice.
@@John-ik2eg
Nope. I don't know the specifics of what exactly they have worked out but they are both making money and the guy selling it has just 1 customert who's been ordering parts for 15 years. It's a long story but I had talked to him about working out a deal for me and he said he would needs least 20 grand upfront before any payment are discused. Again, it's a long story but to sum it up, A guy bought a machine shop with one client and 2 products of various sizes. The owner before him, taught him how to make them and he learned exactly nothing more. After 15 years of refusing to maintain the equipment or expand the business, he finally found an out that he liked. The five years I've been with him, I've gone to school and just watched it wither while trying to explain to him the potential etc,etc. At least I go with the business so I work with actual machinists now.
@@John-ik2eg
Thanks for the heads up. I kinda want the AL-2 just to learn on but I'm willing to take advice from others. I actually fixed the computer and the chuck on that one but somewhere along the way the hydraulics failed and I know nothing about hydraulics.
@@John-ik2eg
Oh ya, I forgot about the 3-phase, thank you. That does make things complicated.
I do appreciate the advice very much. I've had health problems for... well, most of my life but really bad the last 8-10 years. I'm getting better now/ learning better treatments but I was so poor for so long and could not work reliably, that I've usually had more time than money. So, I've gotten in the habit of trying to make things work that normal people throw away. Cars, computers, stereos, kitchen appliances... That's all fine if , as I mentioned, you've got more time than money but now that I''m working more, I'm starting to see again, when things just aren't worth messing with. The idea is to get the equipment making money ASAP.
So, I guess, to sum it up: Your comment " ...a danger to your hopes & dreams" really puts things in perspective.
Thanx.
good content.
This is the best!
Another like for your video! 👍😁
You're right, it doesn't look like much. What's the big deal? Any tight tolerances? How tight?
Topic. Why or why not a machine shop should develop their own branded tool-line? Not patented but branded tool-line. Edge Tech is a good example. They're making tools that's been around for years but they're putting their own spin on it. They appear to be doing great. I believe it's Because of the red anodized aluminium and their company logo.
Good video
PERFECT
I’d like to see teach programming radial interpolation and any tips to speed up what can be a long programming process
Sweet!
Sería muy bueno que sus videos estuvieran subtitulados al español, gracias
Titan Master Gilroy can you please blog some of proper use of RDOC and ADOC. top fan from Philippines
I want to work for you been a machinist for 20 years would be great to learn from you
Can you do the same for the wood working industry? Would be a big help for someone looking to get into an cnc for the industry but not cut the quality of our product.
Este sim é bom mesmo
Didn't tell us what the part is actually for? I'd like to know the application
Same
@@John-ik2eg
Well my curiosity would go a bit further to what does the device do?
@@John-ik2eg
Title of the video for one.
@@John-ik2eg But he also said he was going to go into what the part was for...still waiting
@@pflernak And to approximate the value of it for two
Nice
Boom subscribed :)
I would like to See a conplete run of the part in the machine
This is advanced!
Are you the artist????????
Titan, Just out of curiosity, why the black walls? Any functional reason?
Hey Titan, at what point do you decide to go from holding something simply, in a vise or fixturing doing 1 at a time vs doing multiple ops at once 10 or 20 at a time? Is this solely based on quantity or other factors as well
It is mostly on how accurate the part needs to be. Special holder helps reduce chatter and produce repeatable accuracy. But making a special holder adds expenses. The customer pays for the special holder, by getting a quote that includes the production of the holder. Or the machining company eats the cost if it is high volume as it will be small money. Special holder vs. Small quantity= higher quality. Special holder vs. Large quantity= repeatability. In addition, parts that are thin, very complex, or parts with fragile material, that is parts prone to deformation or cracking make it impossible to machine without a fixture.
Do you ever use a tombstone with 6 faces instead of 4?
HI titans can n plz load a video of caps programming on the DMG morri Dura vertical 5100?
this stuff is cool, my comany bulds naval vessel propulsion systems, so we have 1-6 parts in a series, an they huge, so we cant do the cool mass production...
Hi TITANS. Why not use wirecut machine for a some operation?
To many things going on with it
@@TITANSofCNC Yes, but i thing the price of that part can be reduced and the accuracy can be increased with EDM machine.
I told you that here in Mexico they would not give me the time to make such a complex fixture
I love your master skills, but no wonder why the Murica health system cost millions dollars per visit in the ER..
Sorry for a stupid question, but why do most Haas cnc machines don't have Feed/Speed scroll wheel?
Not sure you just button push the percentage
Hi, I have a question, I have 400*450 mm Brass plate of 3mm thickness, they want to mack a heat sink of it with small square pins of (0.9*0.9mm) of 2mm Depth and the space between two rows and columns will be 1.5mm,
what is the best way to manufacture it,
thanks in advance for any help
The problem with machining this is plate bend, clamp make it bent in middle
for me depending on the kind of facility and machines you have Im sure that part could be made all in one cycle
That’s what we did on the tombstone on the 4th
NICE BOOM!
Once again, thank you, Titan.
Just one thought though. If you keep this up, you may eventually have to rework your business strategy. Giving away all this information for free, your students might start out-bidding you. lol
I was on a thread when I was checking what ur real name is and machinest types have nothing but hate. I don't understand why if you are trying to engage the people who aren't compelled to watch someone hand scrape a way using a bearly audible tone and a holyer than attitude. The next generation requires people who are engaging not stale smart asssmunches. Keep it real big fella
You meant B axis on a horizontal right?
Next for me is making parts for prosthetic limbs. Crazy stuff or I'm out of machining. Doesn't pay close to plumbing or electrician pay
Please upload a video regarding, how to get order or attract consumers for manufacturing....
Hi Harry, here are two recent videos that address this: Part 1, th-cam.com/video/0wWI05q-MCo/w-d-xo.html , and part 2, th-cam.com/video/cSOsZMZiOm4/w-d-xo.html Thanks!
Is that CNC chatter I hear in the background?
bro you have CNC wire Cut edm?
Inspiring as always. I found the background noise a bit distracting.
John W Hah, I get that, I work around constant noise all day, like most viewers here no doubt. Noise at work is par for the course. Just don't love it at home on the couch.
I didn't even notice.
The background noise is the next million $$
Love u from pakistan bro
