I'm not a machinist, but I did a few months worth of milling and turning in college, and probably a week of 3 axis CNC, but that carbide insert drill bit is most insane tools I've ever seen.
In a couple weeks time, we got to watch Titan unwrap a new machine. He got it installed. Received an exotic material titanium. Unwrap new precision workholding. Design and program a complex part. Put it all together and share it with a manufacturing community. Priceless.
I don't know why, but when i see this GUY, all i can imagine is one of those lightweight boxers being all tough and scary. I wonder if he has ever seen a 12000t (twelve THOUSAND) press, or knows how a 50t steam turbine shaft is forged and machined.
I spent over 20 years in a CNC machine shop. Started as an operator out of high school and went to college while I was working. I was a foreman within a year. Later went into a CNC machine shop that did aerospace and went from a CNC Lathe operator to shop Supervisor in a year. You need to be in good physical shape as well as the brains for it. Some people got it and others don't, but make good operators and setters. Which is okay a good operator makes good money too.
yes, you have to be an enthusiast to learn this trade schools only giving a start point, from where the learning curve is up to you hard work everyday, and critical with each job, thinking on what can be improved
Titanium is a really weird stuff. When working with it, you'd think it's like ten times as strong as steel. But it isn't. It has about the same strength as a modern alloy steel actually. The main difference is that it's about 30-40% lighter. And that it really doesn't like being worked on. Think of Grade 5 Titanium as stainless steel times three, in terms of being difficult to work with. Don't even think about using HSS tools for that stuff. A few years ago, I needed a custom replacement part. A bolt, made out of a strong alloy steel, about three inches long, with a diameter of 7.96 mm, and with internal threads at both ends, about 8 mm deep. I made a technical drawing (I'm an Industrial Mechanic) and had send it to about ten metal working companies, asking them for an indiviual quote. All of them were willing to do the job. I had picked the lowest price and made the order. About a year ago, I had the idea to replace the bolt with one made from Grade 5 Titanium. I've sent the same drawing to about ten metal working companies again (I've ensured that they work with Titanium beforehand), and *all* of them had refused the job. I've mentioned that I'm aware that it will be expensive, but still, all of them stated that they can't do this job economically. Then I've decided to do it myself. I don't have a lathe, but the bolt needs to have a diameter of 7.96 mm. And you can get 8 mm round bars of Grade 5 Titanium. It's only four hundredths of the diameter, what means that I only have to remove two hundredths from the surface of the bolt. Two hundredths of a millimeter isn't much, so I thought I just could grind it off with sandpaper. The bolt only needs to fit. It doesn't matter if the diameter is a few hundredths thinner at some points. So I've clamped the bolt into my drill, took some sandpaper in my hand and wrapped my hand around the bar, moving it slowly up and down while applying some pressure to the sandpaper. Inbetween, I've measured the diameter with a micrometer. So far the theory. I was totally aware that it will take some time, since grinding removes only very little material. But I thought of something like 20 minutes maybe. I've already done something similiar with steel. You wouldn't believe how long it took with this stuff. The bar got hot from the friction fast. Extremely fast actually. I had to dip the bar in cold water *every ten seconds* , to not burn my hand while pressing the sandpaper to it. It took about *four* hours to grind that 0.02 mm off, not kidding. My fingers were hurting already, from pressing the sandpaper against the bar. But eventually, the bolt was fitting perfectly. Then I needed to make the internal threads at both ends. Didn't need a lathe for them aswell. They didn't need to be very precise or exactly centered, since they're only meant to hold two screws with washers to keep the bolt in position. So I could easily do them by hand. But the toughness of this material is ridiculous. I totally should have cancelled the project at this point. But I hate it to have spent a lot of time on something and then giving up. I rather add ten times the amount of work to it to get it done, than having wasted the time and energy for nothing. Drilling was a big PITA. The heat development of that stuff is ridiculous. If you only have oil as a cooling agent, you'll ruin a drill for every mm of depth. Have switched to hard metal drills and still ruined two of them. The tip of the drill starts to glow basically as soon as it cuts the first chip, despite being covered in oil. The oil starts to smoke immediately, as soon as the drill starts to cut. Without a proper cooling system or special techniques like high speed cutting, you basically can't do anything with Grade 5 Titanium. When hand-drilling it, you have to make short chips and cool it down after *every single chip* . After two hours, I was finally done. For just two small holes, only about 10 mm deep. That's crazy. You can probably already imagine how the thread cutting was going then. After about four to five hours, I was almost finished, but then I broke the thread cutter while making the second thread. If this happens, your piece is ruined. You can't get the remains of the cutter out of the hole without special equipment. Since I wanted to finish the project at that weekend and I had enough material left to make a second bolt, I started from scratch. (repeating the four hours of grinding and two hours of drilling...) This time, I did the thread cutting ridiculously slow. I had to put as much force on the cutter that it was visibly twisted before it started to finally move through that stuff at all. I've even increased the core hole diameter for the M5 thread by a tenth of a millimeter to reduce the burden on the thread cutter, but it didn't help notably. It didn't feel like cutting at all, but more like pressing the thread into the material. I could progress only a few tenths of a millimeter each time, before having to twist the tool back and cool the whole thing down, and despite all the lubrication, the cutting produced gnashing and cracking sounds like an old pirate ship. The cutter was sharp and new, but it only started to move forward when I was almost at the breaking point of the tool. It took me about three hours per thread and I was sweating more from hour to hour, because of the fear that the tool would break again after all the work. After it was done, I swore to myself to never work with Grade 5 Titanium by hand again. TL;DR: Titanium is a really weird stuff.
This almost sounds like the weight in one of my scale trains was made of titanium... Tried to saw it, took ages and quite basically only just a lot of sweat without not really getting anywhere. Than tried to drill through it... 2 cobalt-tipped drills (and several normal HSS beforehand) later I still was not through the block of metal and I gave up...
I was watching this with subtitles and it said "we're gonna go in with the Harvi Ultra Hate Axe" and genuinely I love the idea of a product called that
Wow! glad this came up on my list... I used to sell Kennametal carbide cutting tools in New Zealand back in the 1980s... Takes me back. Love watching steel/metal be shaped.... takes me back to the good old days of when I did a trade worth something.
Titan and his crew have a positive attitude and they take great pleasure in producing precision parts made in America. Manufacturing in America needs people that bring excitement into a trade that has had too many long faces. I like the vibe. Kurt Veith
It may be...but did you talk to spindle and machine way bearings? (the machine has roller bearing/linear guides ways all around). In my opinion HSM could do significantly better with much less wear out on the machine....
I just learned of you and your channel from a friend of mine, as I'm looking into becoming a machinist myself. And what I've seen so far from your video's...MIND BLOWN!!!

I used to work on one of those , 18 pallet pool and 313 tools . nice machine for a bit north of a million once you have it loaded . We were using mastercam as well we had 4 seats for that , this was down in Oceanside California . Tool sales reps love it when you buy those cutters that take 30 or more inserts LOL sucks when one loses an insert though . I always loved working with titanium because it's pretty stable as long as you keep the heat down but then again I loved exotics also and most people hate that stuff but Hastelloy X and Rene 41 is really not that hard to deal with as long as you don't try to rush it . I kind of miss that work and sometimes consider coming out of retirement but I don't miss getting a new cut every day LOL
Because of our world wide market, my plant switched over to 100% metric last year. At first there was a lot of grumbling (especially from the older folks) and a few wrecks due to mistaking .1 mm with .1 inches (big difference there) but once we worked out the bugs and became used to it, I love it. The trick is to accept the measurements for what they are, not convert them to inch. A millimeter is...a millimeter. Not .040". Once you begin to THINK in metric, it makes so much more sense and you understand why it's the world standard. I even switched my car from MPH to KPH. Totally immerse myself in it.
I retired from the Machinist trade (conventional & toolmaker) in 2010 and I can’t believe the advancements made since then. I feel jealous. But this old body of mine can’t handle a full days worth of work anymore. Let alone picking up heavy parts anymore. I really miss it. That CNC must have the mass as some of the HBMs that I’ve run.
I love the videos I remember watching all theses videos in highschool finding everything you do to be the most amazing thing in the world. Now I work in a big time machine shop and run all sorts of makinos all day long. This is the kind of stuff I do all day long and absolutely love it. P.S. I run Makino T2s or a T4
Use to run Makinos two connected to a big pallet bed. We made large 316L valve bodies for clean rooms.We used those self dumping metal hoppers roll a full one out and empty one in. Take hopper outside with a forklift dumped the chips into big bins. One large type valve bodies started with 700 lbs of vim var stainless ended up with 40lbs. valve body I believe.
@@jbstepchild sry but if you want the best machines you should go with a german manufacturer. The manufacturer KERN has extremly precise machines like the KERN Micro HD.
xLoltimex Check the iQ300 or even the V33i specs form MAKINO. I can warranty this machines can beat the KERN machines, and even better: Makino have better Local support in North America.
I work maintenance at a GE Aviation plant in Terre haute indiana. Those cutters are the best for roughing the fan hub frames for the GE9X engine. Great vid. Hopefully Boeing will sort out the 737 Max soon. Cheers
I am ganesan.m B.E-Mech Engg ... CNC operator and programmer training completed and eight months CNC operator work experience completed in CNC industry....I like very much awasome CNC machine working experience
watched many of your videos then found all very effective workflow on all jobs this is the first i got the feeling, i would rough it first on lathe lathe itself can remove more than mill its a very vague staement but in practical life is proven.. thank you much for your time making these videos
So what you are saying is my 1 hp mill wont be able to do this job? The cutter is worth more than all the tools in my shed lol. So why am I so fascinated watching this? Thumbs up thanks for sharing.
Hello from Russia. It's an amazing job. I watch your videos regularly. Have you thought about releasing a video with Russian-language voiceover? I don't always understand technical terms
love watching your videos I learn so much I have been working in machining for just over 4 years and mostly done lathe work so i love to watch some mill work! love to see your shop one day
I just started a job where I use a CNC router for wood/acrylic. I use mastercam. It's not used to it's full potential. This is legit cooler than my job :D

When did Biff Tannen start working at the machine shop.
I notice you are using Mastercam and just received your notice about partnering with Mastercam. Are you going to still post videos utilizing Fusion 360 by Autodesk and support this product or are you going to discontinue your partnership with Autodesk and move exclusively to Mastercam. Thanks in advance for any clarification on this matter. John
You must have some Killer contracts , machines and tooling are freaking next level and your knowledge and experience very impressive. Much respect this is nothing but tool porn.
Woooooo!!! This fires me up!! Love that titanium! You can hear every single pony in that 65hp machine! Does your coolant drowning process act as a ”noble gas like argon etc.” to avoid titanium issues? Love to see some magnesium on here too!!!
Absolutely brilliant Titan. How did you learn on Fusion 360 and other CAD/CAM so well? We just got Felder H350 woodworking center and I really need to step up my game in design and machining as we have so much capabilities but the stock cad/cam is pretty basic. Thanks mate :)
TheTurbster Our company for example collects material bins, making sure there is no mixed materials also, and we send it of to a facility that recycles it. Extra Return profit from selling the chips.
Late to the party, trying to get caught up...Interesting to see you use Mastercam. I have used it for 25 years. Autodesk sent me an email, asking for money for Fusion 360. I signed up as a hobbyist, mainly to teach my 9 year old son, but haven't used it for hardly anything. So, I have lost my ability to use Fusion360 since I didn't want to pay for something I haven't used. It is great that Autodesk offers it for free but for only 1 year. That is their new "hook" to get you assimilated like the Borg on StarTrek. LOL. Keep it up Titan. BOOM.

I made a technical drawing (I'm an Industrial Mechanic) and had send it to about ten metal working companies, asking them for an indiviual quote. All of them were willing to do the job. I had picked the lowest price and made the order.
About a year ago, I had the idea to replace the bolt with one made from Grade 5 Titanium.

As a mechanical engineer this channel is one my favorites. Great job! I like the details
Congrats engineer. What have you invented?
Props to you, I worked on a cnc machine for a year and a half and hated it. I'm definitely in awe of the people that do this for a living.
Why you hated it?
I can't get over how small the work holding jaws are compared to the giant size stock. They certainly do a great job of holding it.

I can't even fathom the rigidity of that machine and setup. That is such an insane stepover and chip load for full depth in titanium.
I was watching this with subtitles and it said "we're gonna go in with the Harvi Ultra Hate Axe" and genuinely I love the idea of a product called that
As someone who works for a CNC OEM, it’s refreshing to see someone machining on something other than a Haas on TH-cam. Makino makes a beast of a HMC.
And material other than aluminum!

We used to run stack mills like that machining inconel. That's a lot of inserts to change.
BOOM !!! That cutter fully rocks!!!
Man this guy is really going to get me HYPED for some MACHINING shit when that’s got literally nothing to do with my actual work or life or whatever
ya i do mass production i loved my job now im a slave doing a part every 30 seconds,
now i hate my job
I run a makino A92 at work. Love it. They are great machines
I love your passion for your work, obviously the level of work commands it. Nice!
I retired from the Machinist trade (conventional & toolmaker) in 2010 and I can’t believe the advancements made since then. I feel jealous. But this old body of mine can’t handle a full days worth of work anymore. Let alone picking up heavy parts anymore. I really miss it. That CNC must have the mass as some of the HBMs that I’ve run.
I love the videos I remember watching all theses videos in highschool finding everything you do to be the most amazing thing in the world. Now I work in a big time machine shop and run all sorts of makinos all day long. This is the kind of stuff I do all day long and absolutely love it. P.S. I run Makino T2s or a T4
Uote
Beach analogy was on point. Thanks big dog.
The way he says cut sum chips at 4:43 gets me 😂

You guys may be the happiest workers on Earth.
I love when Nerds reach level Cool. This guy is a CNC Super Sayian. Great job.
Use to run Makinos two connected to a big pallet bed. We made large 316L valve bodies for clean rooms.We used those self dumping metal hoppers roll a full one out and empty one in. Take hopper outside with a forklift dumped the chips into big bins. One large type valve bodies started with 700 lbs of vim var stainless ended up with 40lbs. valve body I believe.
One of the greatest Machine Manufacturer ' Makino'
The best
No way it is a great machine but mazak is in my opinion better
@@jbstepchild sry but if you want the best machines you should go with a german manufacturer. The manufacturer KERN has extremly precise machines like the KERN Micro HD.
xLoltimex Check the iQ300 or even the V33i specs form MAKINO. I can warranty this machines can beat the KERN machines, and even better: Makino have better Local support in North America.
@Mike Frings my vote goes to Okuma, Yasda and Makino.
Ultra reliable, extremely accurate and exceptionally well designed.
I Love Your videos .Use to watch and Record Your show every week and i really enjoy it -Thank -You for sharing !
good vid, put that beast through its paces
I work maintenance at a GE Aviation plant in Terre haute indiana. Those cutters are the best for roughing the fan hub frames for the GE9X engine. Great vid. Hopefully Boeing will sort out the 737 Max soon. Cheers
I Love you guys! I started off in 1972 on block by block paper tape. A rapid move was at 200 IPM! LOL!! GET THE STOCK OFF A JOB!!
mxj247. Back in the day early 90's I worked on a Dean Smith and Grace CNC lathe with ticker tape programs. That was one powerful machine.
What impresses me is all the water that's used, it's more than what could flow out of the tap.
Love your videos titan ! Can u make turning videos too for us lathe guys
Crazy ones coming
If I had half of his knowledge in my CNC job I would be a beast.
Hey Titan, is there a Plan for a mm Version of your Academy Workpieces? :D And nice videos! :D
I am ganesan.m B.E-Mech Engg ... CNC operator and programmer training completed and eight months CNC operator work experience completed in CNC industry....I like very much awasome CNC machine working experience
The Borg called, they want their HMC back.
watched many of your videos
then found all very effective workflow on all jobs
this is the first i got the feeling, i would rough it first on lathe
lathe itself can remove more than mill
its a very vague staement but in practical life is proven..
thank you much for your time making these videos
Love following this Ti part! Can’t wait for the next video!
So much low RPM torque...!
Thanks for the metric feeds and speeds.
How many percent of the spindle load?
I'm interested also!
33-45 %
Damn, the amount of schooling and training to operate these is astounding!! I have no freaking idea about what they are doing!
Smart guys like this get abducted by Aliens and become Mother ship mechanics.
WOW! That is a seriously hungry cutter. Great demo.
lmao that ominous music when the probes coming in
so good
So what you are saying is my 1 hp mill wont be able to do this job? The cutter is worth more than all the tools in my shed lol. So why am I so fascinated watching this? Thumbs up thanks for sharing.
I have no idea what he’s talking about haha just nodding my head 😅
me too ha ha
This lets me know that people at my job are babying the 2 makinos we have.
Hello from Russia. It's an amazing job. I watch your videos regularly. Have you thought about releasing a video with Russian-language voiceover? I don't always understand technical terms
We use mostly Kennametal brand carbide inserts in our shop. They are among the best we have tried.
love watching your videos I learn so much I have been working in machining for just over 4 years and mostly done lathe work so i love to watch some mill work! love to see your shop one day
This is awesome! I bored stainless steel barrels on a manual engine lathe back in the late 80s, but this is lightyears beyond that.
Holy shit, that’s a „Schunk“ machine? I can literally see their factory when I look out of my window 😮
Awesome...loved that enthusiasm...keep ir going man. I am learning a lot from your videos after recently graduated.
thanks for also including metric units!
That 8x cutter is insane.
Absolute Insane Top Shelf Machining here folks.
I can watch this all day.
Everything about this video seems so weirdly intense lol
I just started a job where I use a CNC router for wood/acrylic. I use mastercam.
It's not used to it's full potential. This is legit cooler than my job :D
When did Biff Tannen start working at the machine shop.
I bet flipping the inserts on that cutter in your thumbnail is fun.
I notice you are using Mastercam and just received your notice about partnering with Mastercam. Are you going to still post videos utilizing Fusion 360 by Autodesk and support this product or are you going to discontinue your partnership with Autodesk and move exclusively to Mastercam.
Thanks in advance for any clarification on this matter.
John
And a question: is Mastercam better for this part?
He's doing both
Videos like this are why I subscribed. I watch them all in support, but nice long videos like this are awesome.
That’s awesome. I prefer watching his videos unsupported myself but to each his own.
If Paul from OCC had an educated brother. This guy would be him.
lol
You must have some Killer contracts , machines and tooling are freaking next level and your knowledge and experience very impressive. Much respect this is nothing but tool porn.
Woooooo!!! This fires me up!! Love that titanium! You can hear every single pony in that 65hp machine!
Does your coolant drowning process act as a ”noble gas like argon etc.” to avoid titanium issues?
Love to see some magnesium on here too!!!
If magnesium, the speed & feed could triple & would probably only use 2% of the of the Lathe's 65hp mtr rating
Wish my company sees this. This is what I need, no doubt
Absolutely brilliant Titan. How did you learn on Fusion 360 and other CAD/CAM so well? We just got Felder H350 woodworking center and I really need to step up my game in design and machining as we have so much capabilities but the stock cad/cam is pretty basic. Thanks mate :)
Start using it. Drawing parts like the one in the video is pretty basic too, so it won't take you long to learn :)
I love the surfboard in the office. And I wonder what is done with all the titanium chips.
TheTurbster Our company for example collects material bins, making sure there is no mixed materials also, and we send it of to a facility that recycles it. Extra Return profit from selling the chips.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with this informative video! Also, GOOD Lord! That thing is a unit!!! :-D
Late to the party, trying to get caught up...Interesting to see you use Mastercam. I have used it for 25 years. Autodesk sent me an email, asking for money for Fusion 360. I signed up as a hobbyist, mainly to teach my 9 year old son, but haven't used it for hardly anything. So, I have lost my ability to use Fusion360 since I didn't want to pay for something I haven't used. It is great that Autodesk offers it for free but for only 1 year. That is their new "hook" to get you assimilated like the Borg on StarTrek. LOL. Keep it up Titan. BOOM.
