Beginners Guide to Manual & CNC Machining!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2024
- This video is for the Concord Kids - a group of 5th grade students studying STEM! And, of course, it's for anyone to serve as a basic beginners guide to a manual milling machine (Bridgeport) and a computer controlled CNC Milling machine (Tormach PCNC 1100)!
Curious how we film? bit.ly/2q8MfoV
Their teacher, Dan, email saying a video on milling basics would really help the kids understand some of the work they are studying. I love helping kids and would encourage everyone to reach out to any number of local programs - STEM, FIRST Robotics - anything to help increase interest and passion for engineering in our youth!

They need to offer this in high schools. There are a ton of teenaged boys who would be great metal workers but have no idea about this
Yeah American schools are horseshit. In the uk you can choose to go to university or you can learn a vocation even earlier than when you would normally leave for uni. There’s no option like this in America, you either know about this stuff from a family member or friend or you don’t even realize what’s there
i took shop class in high school....
@@coheedmonstar33 This is not entirely true. We did used to have these programs in the high shcools but where i live we have a robust vcational school system that allows students from all schools in a fairly large system to take these classes rather than just what could be offered on campus at a higher cost. Most of these programs are available in their last 2 years of public school. Sadly there is a strong emphasis on college and many in our educaiton system seem to have stopped carign for kids not on that track but with programs like our vocational prgram, especially where they have partnered with the local communit college system kids have some great opportunities.
Of the two most successful people I know one is an accountant, the other is a plumber. Only one of them owns their own business.
I'm actually studying up on cnc because I'm moving to a trade school next year
@@thesilentsniper2539 That's great 👍
I'm 62 and I just learned a lot.
Thank you for making this video.
It would be interesting to get into this as a hobby.
Thanks.
Gotta love youtube. Years ago there was no info like this !
Gotta love electricity! Years ago we would have to watch this in the dark.

Just checking this out for a friend, who's looking at training in machining for his profession. This is genuinely fascinating, and good comparison between manual and computer controlled machining.
Hey NYC CNC , Thanks for showing that video and I hope that the young people that watch this will really take to heart what you said. I graduated school in 1981 ( I am now one of those old guys ) and my shop teacher was one of the best teachers that I ever had. After school I went into the army and when I got out, I got in the electrical field that I learned in school, and for 25 years I have been blessed to have a job at the same company doing what I love, and that is being a Lineman. I do machine work in my shop and this is something I really enjoy, and I learn a lot from watching all these video's that people like you take time to make. Thanks

Thank you John for taking time to explain this process from A to Z making the difference between a manual and a CNC milling machine. This is my very first time watching your channel and I fall in love with it and have some flashbacks. I used to teach machine tools technology for nine years in the 80's and the early 90's. Since I left my country for more than 25 years, I never have a chance to touch a machine tool. But, I still have the desire to build my own shop. After watching this video, I'm so happy just like it was myself operating the machine. I'm a subscriber now and won't miss any other. Great job!!! Keep it up and thanks again. 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi John,
I just feel like re-doing machinist school...!
Young one ones NEED the support and encouragement and people to look up to.
Fun that the teacher called on you to show, and even nicer of you eagerly responding.
Cheers,
Pierre
I'm starting a new job in this trade so I needed to do as much research as possible! Ive done hours of monotonous research before I found this guy! His presentation technique and enthusiasm makes absorbing this sort of information much easier and even enjoyable. EXCELENT introduction sir, thank you very much.
+1 for reminding us to put on our safety gear. It can't be stressed enough.
Starting out as an entry level machine shop helper and these are great preparation. Thank you.
Hello and thanks for the info, I watched your vid a long while ago when I started to learn both the manual and CNC mill and lathe at my first makerspace job, then that was intimidating - and now I am starting to learn milling with a KUKA arm in my latest job which I never would have thought I would be able to do as a kid. Tiny, helpful education can amount to such big things especially when it's not condescending and seems to genuinely care about making people interested and excited to learn.
Awesome John! Excellent that you are promoting the profession and giving back to the community in such a needed way! Keep on Machining!
Thank you for that awesome tutorial! I'm a recruiter in Aiken, SC. I'm new to my job but I love to learn about different jobs. In this job, I have to know numerous machines and how they work, the different work titles, and their job descriptions. This helps me understand my job to help other people find jobs! Thanks a million!
John, I have a hunch that you were paying your sole employee his normal hourly wage to operate the camera. This video not only cost you your (increasingly valuable) time, but money out of the coffers to pay your employee too. Thank you for going out of your way to help educate our youth! I do the same thing as an adult volunteer with the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. The little that I contribute is very gratifyiong and I hope you feel the same.
Your Videographer did an outstanding job! I like the format a lot!
NYC CNC
I agree, I like the fomrat and video, however, the dolly left to right and back again over and over the first 2 minutes was a bit much. lol Perhaps it was just a bit distracting to me with the background continually moving. Squirl!
NYC CNC John, I love the videos. We have several machines at our community and would love to make videos. Was wondering what camera you use for your videos and what software you use to edit?
Never got into or understood STEM and CNC and honestly didn't know much about it; but after working as a Wire EDM operator for about a year and leaning various things. I've been considering going over to Milling so this is genuinely fascinating so thank you for the video and explanation.
After years of warehouse and truck driving jobs, I took an entry level CNC job 5 years ago and it turned out to be the best career move I ever made. I really missed my calling but it’s better late than never!
bubbasouth69 currently at the truck driving stage of my life but wanting to learn Cnc machines do you have to go to school for it?
My son is going to look at CNC schooling next week, he just came back from Navy boot camp because he could not meet the minimum requirements for running. I am excited for him to check out the CNC field!
What is he doing 3 years later? Did he go back to bootcamp?
Is your son still fat?
Awesome video John !. Thank You. Im 48 years old and quit my medical fabrication job of 14 years And just finished my first day learning to be a machinist ..Vary Excited !!!..
I'm a cnc bender, been bending for 4 years, and a bid at my job went up for " tool room machinist" I wanted to see what its about by checking out this video. its fascinating . I love it. cant wait till I apply for it. thx man
you did some exceptional work John... thanks so much.. hope you are doing great.
I've always been fascinated with machines. I was Auto Mechanic for 18 yrs. I ground crankshafts for 2 months, that's when I
was blown away .....welded up a crankshaft journal, then ground down to factory specs.... truly fascinating ! I'm a plastic model
builder but I like to make things work for realism. I', working on crane and wrecker, so I need cable drums, snatch blocks and an assortment of pulley's. I just bought a mini metal lathe to make these parts with. This should be fun ! Wish I'd taken Machine Shop in high school instead of Auto Mechanics ! Great Video !
I used to do this kind of stuff by hand on a Bridgeport years and years ago you guys have it easy now all you got to do is program it into a computer sitting in the machine and it does it for you great video
I like this guy with his videos the way he teaches and making presentations, smart, he mentioned in the other video he started with zero knowledge in this machine world, he has a good future in this business, best videos in youtube, best way of talking with good attitude, you dont get tired by listening to his non stoping words coming out of his mouth, best presentation I have ever seen done by one person with no previous studies, isn't that amazing ? this guy has talent and he has capability to do more to success, Thank you John for all your time and efforts. wish you the best.
this is such a good review for machine shop. I love my machine shop at my school when working on projects
Machining is such a sneaky way of learning , math, physics, electronics, chemistry, even a little biology from the occasional skinned knuckle. Start managing a shop and add statistics, accounting, finance and human relations.
The practical application of of all of these disciplines give you the tools to be a better machinist and a true artisan.
Thank you so much man ! You are doing great work for students like me and many more. As I'm just a pass out engineer searching for CNC machines and programs. You make it so easy to understand. 👍🏻
Great Job and thank you for taking the time to pass down, this type of work. we need more young kids getting involved in this type of work.
Thanks for the video John! I've been wanting to start with machining for a while but never really knew where, so this really helped me. If only I had the money to buy the tools!
You have given me a place to start so I'm no longer clueless, thank you!
Brings back memories of my machining days using a Ikegai AX25N lathe with a Fanuc 6T control and a OKK mill with a Mitsubishi control. Around thirty years ago 😄. I do miss it.
I'm going for cnc operator,love to see videos like this im trying to catch al the things that comes along with CNC,watch all videos get study this is one of the jobs U always master in one spot.
This is AWESOME, as a future engineer I love learning new things and at school we do not see stuff like this And we only assume that our job is only to do a good CAD but there is a lot more to know in order to achieve a GREAT CAD. Thanks again, I wanna learn more about cnc machining process.
Hi to everyone in manufacturing industry
Great job on the videography! Also, don't worry about boring the regular viewers. Most of us understand your mission here. Keep up the great work!
Gotta love educational videos like this, actually helps a bit since planning to kick start my metal fab course in January (wanting to start a small machining company in Texas, idk if in East Texas or CenTex atm).
Thanks! Straightforward and clear video. I'll be using this with my ESL machining students!
I think your a good teacher. Very simple to learn. I've taken classes with guys who are great at Machining but can't explain left from right.
Thank you for this, I’ve been very curious about getting into this field for years. I should have watched this years ago.
Wish we had this when I was younger. I'd have got into engineering and machining way earlier. Thanks, and as always, great video!
Woop! Thanks for the shoutout @~13:00 to FIRST robotics. As a robotics mentor, your videos have gotten me back involved in machining, so I can hone the skills to teach my students. I built a 48"x96" CNC router to do plastic/aluminum CNC with my students a few months ago, as well as invested in a mill and lathe for my home shop. Hope to convert my PM932M mill to CNC over the summer. Keep up the good work, you're inspiring adults and students alike!
I am a regular subscriber and I absolutely enjoyed watching it... I wish someone had pulled me aside earlier and showed me this. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for making this video. I knew a little bit about machining, enough for me to think about going to a tech school to learn it, but this video has made me sire that I am going to go to school in the fall for this!
I am thinking about getting into STEM. I have always been in the medical field, but my daughter wanted a 3D printer for Christmas. So my stepdad got her an Ender 3 and I have had to give myself a crash course in how those work and had found it fascinating. I already have 2 medical science degrees (medical receptionist and certified surgical technologist) but just got back into school for my third degree, radiologic technology, but now I'm seriously considering changing my major to CNC machinist and see where that takes me.
I find this type of work fascinating.
Hey john. I just left my job to start working with a place that makes metal drill bits. They are going to train me on how to become a cbc machinist. This video makes me feel less afraid to tackle this subject and I can't wait to watch all your videos and become hopefully one day a master machinist I am only 26 so I have a long ways to go and a lot to learn but I'm excited to finally start an actual career path. Thank you once again for the video and keep up the good work dude.
Sincerely,
Fail Finger
I learned how to use a mill on a Bridgeport just like this! That machine is a beast!
I just got accepted today to BCIT for machinist pre-apprentice program, so I've been looking all over for machinist videos I am glad I found your channel. You got another subscriber.
NYC CNC Update just got an interview for an Automotive machinist place, in Lethbridge Alberta, and I go for the interview on the 4th. Any advice?
Finally a good introduction to this topic! 👍
Thank you so much! This short little video helps alot!!
"safety glasses on folks" . people sitting at their computer wearing safety glasses.
The Lord used this message you wrote to remind me to pull my safety sunglasses out of one of my work bags i leave at home and, put it in my lunchbox to take to work with me tonight. Thank you.
Forget the safty goggles , wear your useless paper mask machines have the pretend virus
@@gabewhisen3446 be right back Ethernet to USB telling those machines to quit pretending stupid shit . bad machines . bad
Do you NOT wear anti-blue light ppe glasses!? I always wear my ppe
@@gabewhisen3446 lmao
Great info, I was a machine operator for years and two weeks ago I was hired as a Machinist(I ran bridgeports before) not doing too bad, but not great yet!
John, Thank you for putting this together. Very basic but you did a good job of bringing out the similarities and differences between manual and CNC procedures. It would be cool to follow this up with a similar presentation on the manual and the CNC lathe.
Regards, Paul
great work! Very nice production value, too. The color, the lighting, the smooth camera motion for the vast majority of it - awesome stuff!
Thanks for your efforts for the future machinists and us home guys. Great intent and I wish you the best. In the meantime I will watch and like.
Cant lie this job overwhelms me with the math requirements , I never been strong in math , reading was always my skill in school.
Homie you get used to it
@@StarlightEater make sure you dont mention that to anyone. fake it till you make it. seriously you mention that to a boss and hes wondering what else youre bad at because math is not hard at all when you try to learn it especially the easy repetitive math you have to do with this shit
Gifted teacher. Clear and interesting vid.
Thank you sir for your unique approach to this matter. I wish you luck and many more successful projects...
This guy is a great teacher. Thanks for making the video!
A great introductory video, well done.
Cool stuff. In the future, it might be worth mentioning WHY we want that level of accuracy. reduce vibrations, efficiency etc
NYC CNC This was spot on introduction to machining. It shows the exact very basics in short time and not boring kids with too much detail which could easily happen in such vast topic as machining , but yet it's the this kind of "keep it simple stuff" that might get someone interested in learning more about it. Very good job. Personally I think manufacturing precision and like is something that will come up in various other job related topics and might indeed bore students. Although it might have been good to show somekind of complex cnc machined part at the end briefly just to see what can be achieved by computer aided machining versus "old machining". I hope some teacher would happen to read this end as adult looking back, I would've loved to see precision metal working examples as "whole". We never saw examples for the big picture seeing ie. machined parts assembled in to bigger constructions. These kind of examples would've make me appreciate metals works as industry whole lot sooner than it did. I really hope teaching has evolved in this area.
Hi,i'm an 18 year old from Singapore and am very new to all of this. I'm currently studying Laser and Tooling Technology and this is part of it. I just wanna say this video has helped me understand alot more in depth and for that,I thank you :)
NYC CNC thankyou bro. Keep doing what youre doing! (:
remember that you will not always be the smartest person in the room but you can be the most hard working.
Great video Man!! I really like the way you simplify and explain how the machines work!! Not sure if you teach on the side, but you should consider teaching! You do a great job demonstrating how use the machines. Keep up the good work!
i love this video, i know have different between milling manual and cnc so thank you very much sir, i have clear definition of milling machine .
im in my 30's going to uni for engineering this year. find this stuff so intresting hoping to learn cnc and welding as well
Great video brother! Thank you for your time and effort.
Outstanding video. Thank you!
Machinist/Tool Maker/Engineer thats the holy grail! As tool maker apprentice you are already exposed to most of the math.
As always outstanding video.
the panning with the camera I think adds to the overall package.
keep up the great work and will see one in the future on the new turret lathe.
I wish I knew about machining in high school. The moment I learned about chipping metal to make all kinds of stuff I fell in love. I would love to have a career in this field.
It's been a while since I heard "a thousandth" in machining. I think it was the first time I did it actually. Since then every machining job I've had has been on the metric "micron" system.
Im actually going to attend TCTC in northeast Ohio in their machining program. I've always enjoyed the thought of being able to get a piece of metal and use your mind to make it fit or make something cool. Thanks for the video and I hope others will get inspired by this!
That's a fucked up picture.
Great video with great instruction. I think the only thing missing is an inside measurement at 12:40. You did great John! Thank you.
These machinist guys are very intelligent people... I want to build a cnc machine now!
Wish I had known more about milling and CNC technology when I was in high school. My brother took classes for it and makes a lot more than I do haha. I got into production welding and he makes twice as much and then some.
Hi John, just ran across this video on YT. I spent my first ten years as a machinist. Climb cutting aluminum is ok, but I am sure you know not to do it on steel. There are so many nuances to machining, it would take months to show on a video. Good job.
You are a great American, building young mines
This beats any office job
I miss manufacturing. I hate being a service technician. I started machining in 1991 for Bardwell & McAlister Lighting & Grip. I learned how to use manual lathes and mills. I also learned how to TIG weld from a Miller employee. I think I need to give notice.
I had my first day today on a manual lay, pretty Koo too get my feet wet with the basics👌
A lathe?
Great video thank you buddy!!!
God damn, I love precision!
This is cool, thanks for the video.
Watching from Philippines.,
Just to say: Thank you very much!!
Nice video, John! Anything that we can do to encourage young people to take up machining (and other trades) is worthwhile. They are the future of our country. The need for people who can make things and fix things will carry on long after us oldtimers are gone!
-mike
What a great guide!
thanks mate!, i liked this video. well done.
Nice work John.
Good job thanks for the info
Pretty fancy photography!
I love this stuff. Both milling and wood working
+NYC_CNC D':
NYC CNC Wood is arguably harder to master machining than metals are ;-) It's different every time.
NYC CNC Haha. good point. Machining Metal is a science, wood is an art.
I think there's quite a bit of truth to what you said, as an amature "wood worker" wood can be very difficult to work with, being that it can tear out and warp horribly. Working with either of them or even both is fun. Cheers :)
First off I love the video. I know nothing about CNC anything but I'm 40 and looking to make a career change and your videos are really easy to understand. I think machining is really cool. please keep making more videos. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio. Could you please recommend a good school for beginners.
id love one of those old bridgeport milling machines, id have full time work resurfacing engine blocks and cylinder heads with that
Loved it, thanks
I grew up in in one of the most affluent towns in Massachusetts. Our high school offered college prep courses as well as trade training. I learned drafting, which I had no idea at the time would be my entree to a great engineering career, but what I want to point out is that then, in the early 70’s, even wealthy towns understood the value of teaching trades to those who didn’t want to follow the college path. Now, look at how much white collar work can be located anywhere (great for those living in developing countries, not so good for people losing their jobs in the US). But you can’t offshore a roofing, plumbing or masonry job. We should consider the value in investing in teaching our kids trade skills.
I love your videos in machine shop
Thank you the info . Great !
You just earned a subscription.
Hope to be both a Welder and a Machinist ! Fabrication is just my thing !
I start CNC Precision Machining classes today !
Excellent video.
Would you recommend the PCNC 1100, to make chucks for warehouse spinnings?
Been years since I've operated any machine, though I can close my eyes and still smell the smell, hear the tools running through metal and can still see that almost orgasmic machine finish. There's nothing like it, the finish that is, of a properly machined piece of metal.
hello there this is a great video i am trying out for New England Tec's SAMI program for welding milling and shipfitting and i though i would focus on milling and machining. this video is really helping me out. i have yet to take the entry exam but hope to get a head start some how. just looking for any advice thanks a bunch
