Thanks for stopping by and touring the FlexArm facility, Abom. It was awesome having you in here. And thanks for sitting down with us for the first ever Fireside Chats interview! th-cam.com/video/Vc0tyIndJnQ/w-d-xo.html
I noticed you guys have an interview with Adam, maybe link to it in this thread. I would have never seen it if I didn't look at your videos. I'll be watching it next.
FlexArm / FlexCNC .....I love you guy's passion for what you do! Flex Arm looks like a company in forward gear and is exactly what "Made In America" is talking about. Looks like a fun place to be. Thanks for the tour!
Other companies take note. THIS is how you do business. Look after your employees and they’ll look after your business. So many businesses don’t care about the workforce. I work for a great engineering company but I’d give anything to work there. Congratulations Adam on acquiring a flex arm for your shop.
I used to tell my old ahole boss that I would rather work in a nice place that had great morale and did not constantly lie to you or stab you in the back. Rather have great morale and caring bosses then a dollar raise. I worked at a scum bag large gannett newspaper for 16 years while they were still making millions of dollars. They refused to let us know when they made changes that affected us like stoppage of $3 meal money after working 10 hours, no over time pay until you worked 40 hours even if you scheduled a vacation day 2 months early. Stopped paying over time for emergency call ins. Would have you work 8 hours then send you home. Would expect you to cover for a day worker that called out sick 2 hours after getting home. Told them If I come in like that must be paid overtime. Several times they borrowed $40 brand but obsolete hard to get new circuit breakers that I had but never paid me or gave me a replacement so one Friday night they got into a jam and needed 2 of them. Told them let me check my garage. Yep only way you can have them if somebidy delivers $160 in cash to my house. Boy did that piss them off. Ended up paying thru the nose for them.
I am a vet of the Viet Nam era and this video of flex Arm with the owner and Adam makes me feel proud of the fact that a vet started Flex Arm company. The Flag is hung proudly in the building. I think America is the greatest country in the world, it's about time we get the industry going in the US once again. Keep on doing what you are doing Flex Arm. God Bless America. From a fellow DAV.
I'll let a guy with 300k subs bring his camera, I'd probably throw in a pallet of tapper too. If he signed something saying he'd never use a hand tap again, I'd probably become a channel sponsor.
Wow, what a place to work in! That floor! How could anyone not enjoy working there? The other great thing portrayed in this video was the pride for American production and manufacture, I wish that people here in England would get back the pride we once had for 'Made in Britain' products. We have a lot to learn from you lads over the pond, maybe when we get out of the EU and form trade deals with the US we will be able to do this. I can't wait to see your new machine working in your shop Adam.
This is what makes America great! Innovation, hard work, quality and product support. Our manufacturing abilities allowed us to win a World War, create jobs and a flourishing middle class and makes us number one in the world in any way you want to measure. We were in danger of losing it all. Companies like this is exactly what we all need......May our politicians never lose site of this. Thanks so much for the tour, you're a great guy.
Makes my heart swell to see a Veteran owned and ran business do well. Especially in the manufacturing trades. Of course being a retired Molder from the Navy, I'm always interested to see how the manufacturing trades are progressing. Very much enjoyed the video!
Your videos are so important for people to understand we have more engineering and manufacturing going on in the US than might be imagined. The videos are uplifting. Also, your videos are well done and always interesting, including your adventure site.
Really great to see so much MADE IN THE USA Product in there. So many casting houses closed their doors when the auto companies needed to save money to compete. Many will say they sold out, but when you're saving $2 a casting (or in some cases $50~$250) and your parts are in the hundreds of thousands (even millions) you just can't compete without doing it. Really glad to see all that Made in the USA equipment/parts.
nice to see another tour way to share for us that cannot leave our work, we are thankful you can go and do this then bring it to us all. Lance & Patrick.
That FlexArm didn't so much as twitch while running that 1-1/2 tap in. That is a fine piece of equipment. As a machinist myself, I am so happy to see manufacturing thriving right here in the US. I wish FlexArm a great future in their new home making fine American made products and keeping American craftsmen employed.
This is why YOU BUY AMERICAN!!!! If only all of our tools could be manufactured by companies like this...I love everything about this place, more people need to understand that supporting that “made in America” label is critical..
It seems like Ohio has it all, From Gerstner & Sons old school craftsmenship, John at NYCNC cutting edge to FlexArm. But you know what they all have in common? They are down home American businesses who keep their people happy and involved! Saw the fireside chat you did. Great piece.
Wife and I love the factory tours and swap meet vids! My company uses Flex Arms for post tapping on waterjet plates. Saves ton of time and stops the apprentice crooked tap syndrome! Very worth the money.
Awesome video and great pictures Abby... And what an awesome facility.. Adam can't wait to see your flex arm in action and thank you flex arm for letting us have a tour of your shop...
What a great video, I have been away from the Machine Tool industry for many years it is neat to revisit. I worked for White Sundstrand CNC Machines in 80-82 as a Field Service Engineer, lots travel and fun for a young guy. Then I started Flying for a living after the industry hit hard times with competition from Off Shore companies
You'd be surprised, if you have a running business and can show the bank a good business plan for why you need the space for further growth getting a loan for this sort of thing is pretty straight forward.
I like that these guys served for their country, and they have a giant flag hanging in the shop. They are what make America great. Good on ya! (BTW, I'm not American but I wish I was)
Best part for me was hearing the story why the machine was made for, and how other engineering shop wanted that same tool. An the company grew from there, made in USA🤙🤙🤙❤️ He needs a museum off old tap holders and taps, how they did the job back in the day.
Adam, those HAAS CNC machines are manufactured about 5 miles from my house. I pass by their factory every time I take the pups to the dog park. Thanks for the video. Sorry I missed you at the Bar-Z. I had the flu. Jon
You just described my dream home a nice sized shop with the office converted into the house so you just walk out the back door and you're in the work shop
Fantastic tour and video. I love seeing beautiful shops and machines. I spent my 40 yr. career in manufacturing and have a huge appreciation for machinery and processes. Thanks for this tour.
I wonder how much machining the rails on those FLEX CNC machines after install actually helps with accuracy? I mean after machining itself an indicator on the bridge would show it was true within the pitch and yaw of the cutter but it would only be as flat as the alignment of the linear rails the bridge runs on. For lots of big jobs it wouldn't really matter but if you were trying to mill surface plates on it I wonder how good it would go.
Welded bases for machines are OK if properly stress relieved ...then properly supported with heavy concrete footings with isolation from surrounding vibrations ....may require adjustment after approx one year of operation (depending on variables)
Awesome bit of kit for sure, but to me unless its camera angle, that last machine you tried Adam with the 1.24" tap, when you used it and for that matter when the chap demonstrated it before you having a go. The tap looked in both instances out of square to the work piece, but could be camera angle.
Hey Adam, such a pleasure watching your channel. Seeing your machine arsenal grow and looking forward to all the great content you put our way with your calm informative manner. Good seeing good people rewarded for their hard work. 👌🏻
Over here in the UK we are not always complimentary about the USA, especially your politics, but what has to be admired is the support and intertrading that goes on within your local businesses. For the most part now in the UK we have not only lost the businesses that could produce such components as you have shown in this video but we have lost the expertise as well. We are about to dump the European Union which if it happens will be the single biggest thing that we can do to reverse the decline of "Great Britain". Supporting and being self sufficient within a community with which you have a common bond is essential to safeguarding future prosperity and security. Congratulations to you Adam and all the guys at FlexArm.
I had no idea Flex-Arm was made in Ohio. What a beautiful facility! Watching this while turning on a Mazak Megaturn in Marion,Oh. Ran many flex arms during my machining career, very handy tools.
I work in tool and die, flex arm is a critical piece of equipment we use daily. Very cool to see the new shop and see that an Americam company is manufacturing in the USA and has a desire to continue to do so. Thanks for the vid abom
Just imagine how the flexarm would arrive if you shipped it with the company that transported your drill grinder, the compensation would not even cover that 2" tap. Nice, looking forward to see your new machine in action. Probably just lens distortion but the 1.5" tap looked like it was going in tilted towards the operator.
48:55 man it sure does look like that tap is crooked! Must have been proving out the clutch feature saving the tap. :-) or maybe it is just a crazy optical illusion but the bridgeport head seems to align with the wall panneling so I don't see why the tap head shouldn't be too.
John W trust when I say, the clutch would have indicated that much misalignment. They are fairly sensitive and that would have been enough to alarm it.
What a fantastic gadget! I hope you can get some work to keep it happy. No wonder you are excited. Great to see such a happening business going from strength to strength. I used to use cnc lathes back in the 80’s. Things have changed since then. Really enjoyable video.
What an awesome machine shop. Great tour and great video effort. Thanks man for sharing with us. Those white floors... where i did my apprenticeship as a machinist here in Australia, the machine shop was black walls and floors from years of coolant and oil spray lol.
Plus you had redback spider on the dunny, brown snake in the rafters, crocodiles when you went fishing, and pretty little octopus that would kill you stone dead. All we have here in NZ are sandflies.
The difference in dealing with an issue locally and dealing with an issue offshore is far far far understated here. I worked for a big name faucet company back when they did everything in house and then again later after they went to having everything shipped in from China. If we had a problem with the parts we had about 6 months of dealing with that problem before we got into the new stock. Sure they save on labor, but if something goes wrong with production over there, we don't know it's an issue until months later when it arrives and then a company isn't gonna act on it until it becomes apparent that the issue ain't going away quickly. It is gonna eventually bite a bunch of these big companies in the ass and put a lot of em out of business. That company I used to work for......... Laid off more than 75% of their employees due to one of these "minor" issues that could've been a simple fix in a matter of minutes if it had been done in house.
What awesome capability Adam! Looking forward to seeing that Abom size Flexarm in action! And a big thanks to FlexArm for the awesome shop tour! Just love that floor! Lol
Great job; what a well designed video tour of this brand new American factory. I never would have dreamed one of these arms could handle the torque of a 2.0 tap, and all completed in a couple of minutes. Adam, you're going to have lots of fun using your monster FlexArm machine. Can't wait to see this big boy working in your shop. Thanks.
Our shop started using the flex arm about 25 years ago , they work great! We also bought the ver large one that could tap up to 2 “ I believe it was hydraulic,a beast! But we lost it in the flood but are getting another one just like it . I thought going back were they made or some parts of them in W. Germany? The new factory tour was excellent, keep up the good work , I really like that they are made here in the states! Thank you , John thank up the great work
Adam, thanks for sharing the tour with us. I really enjoyed it. I've heard of FlexArm before but had no idea what it was. Glad you have one now, can't wait to see you use it.
you were about 30 miles away from me. would of loved to meet up with you and thank you for doing a all some job. i watch you all the time. keep on keeping on.
We bought a flex arm for our shop at work and it was ok. It just didnt have the fit for our application and we returned it. Due to breaking taps way more than doing it manually. Cool machine if you can find a way to use them.
Thanks for stopping by and touring the FlexArm facility, Abom. It was awesome having you in here. And thanks for sitting down with us for the first ever Fireside Chats interview! th-cam.com/video/Vc0tyIndJnQ/w-d-xo.html

Glenn Lawrie-Smith I thought the same thing. If I weren't retired and all worn out I'd be looking these guys up for a job.
I'll let a guy with 300k subs bring his camera, I'd probably throw in a pallet of tapper too. If he signed something saying he'd never use a hand tap again, I'd probably become a channel sponsor.

For all its charm, Wapakoneta is best known as the home of Neil Armstrong!

The workers enthusiasm is amazing, that is what you want to see. It is very clear they love the work. Great Video Adam.
Impressive operation 👌
We make some of the smaller flex arm pneumatic tapping units where I work. We're in western PA. We also use them for tapping and installing helicoils
I love that your USA built from casting to finished product
...except the Flex CNC that is made in Spain.
Something I will never need but way cool watching anyway. And as a vet always nice to see vet companies.

The flexarm rep sure seems like a hell of a likable fella. Great tour, awesome product.
Keith Hansen well isn’t that just a nice compliment! Thanks man!!!
Impressive facility and a fascinating tour.
48:55 man it sure does look like that tap is crooked! Must have been proving out the clutch feature saving the tap. :-) or maybe it is just a crazy optical illusion but the bridgeport head seems to align with the wall panneling so I don't see why the tap head shouldn't be too.
I thought the same as well, I immediately noticed it and was thinking “dam, that really looks crooked!” Glad I wasn’t the only one lol
I saw that too but brushed it off to camera lens distortion. That happens when they use a wide angle lens.
It was the wide angle lens. After we watched it I was like 😬 haha
John W trust when I say, the clutch would have indicated that much misalignment. They are fairly sensitive and that would have been enough to alarm it.
28:52 Hey AVE eat your heart out. Look at that dude. It looks like he is playing piano on that HAAS 5 axis. :O)

Those white floors... where i did my apprenticeship as a machinist here in Australia, the machine shop was black walls and floors from years of coolant and oil spray lol.

We bought a flex arm for our shop at work and it was ok. It just didnt have the fit for our application and we returned it. Due to breaking taps way more than doing it manually. Cool machine if you can find a way to use them.
Sales and marketing is the heart of flexarm?
