26 year old machinist here. I’ve been in the game for about 6 years and I’ve become hungry to take things to the next level! I love the content you guys put out. It teaches me a lot and inspires me to learn more. Good stuff!
Lovely stuff (retired bio-medical engineer/machinist here) Your analogy saying that doctors can't learn any more once they know the human body is wrong. Think of the human body as the stock or raw material being worked on... The equipment, tools, machines, processes etc evolves at a very similar rate to your CNC, EDM, Grinding etc machines do. It will blow your mind if you could see what is happening in the medical field compared to just a few years ago. Keep up the good work guys and never stop teaching - it's the future for all of our benefit.
I’m studying mechanical engineering and love watching your stuff. The way my perspective has changed when I look at and develop parts is crazy. Goal is end up developing the next gen CNC’s. Much love from here. BOOM
I’m 68 years old, I have been involved in a family machine shop for 51 years. Toolmaking and machining was not just a job, it is my passion and hobby. I always enjoy the challenge.
I love to see all the new Machines coming out, I've been a acme gridley 6 spindle bar machinist for 3 years i am currently working in my uncle shop doing all the job set ups and managing the department we still hand grind our cutt off blades and re grind our form tools in house on a reid surface grinder. Machining has changed my life for the better I appreciate you guys keep making chips!
I listen to these while I’m at work and have down time helps me keep a good mindset when I think about being on the floor compared to the office I’ll take the work over it any day and any machine I can get my hands on, thank you Titan you help me enjoy my passion even more.
studied mechanical engineering with focus on manufacturing systems in germany. we spend maybe like 10 total hours inside of the forming machine and CNC machine labs with quite general subjects ... we spend a lot talking about it, but basically zero time doing it. (awsome quality shirts btw next level is the best brand name for merch from titans on CnC) finished like 2 years ago. and today it's like every young machinists or interested machinist knows titan. literally changing the world
@@titansofcncpodcastIn order to work CNC, must one be as overweight as you or does that come after taking the job? I think it is neither. I think you are just a lazy slob.
I remember meeting Keith in college. He helped our formula SAE team at California State University Chico. The guy hand delivered a check to my team from the Haas Foundation which really helped out since our team was only 3 years old at that point. We also had a really good conversation on manufacuting because at that time we were the only engineering college program with a manufacturing degree and student ran CNC macning center in the north state. This was also the around the time when Titans of CNC was starting to roll out videos too and Keith was starting to see the same vision. Good people
Mechanical engineer here and now I've got a small shop in my garage. At Virginia Tech, all undergrad ME's had to do a senior design project. I was on the FSAE team for 1.5 years and taught the team as a grad student for a year. We had to machine/fabricate our own parts for the car. We only had manual lathes and a CNC Bridgeport at the time, but you learn REAL quick how to design better parts. Easily the best experience I had in college.
Shops don't want to pay grinders, shops don't want to teach someone to grind, they think they will just find someone who can do it. The old timers don't want to teach anyone how to grind either. Mainly though it's that shops think they can replace their high wage grinders with CNC's programmed by an engineer. That's the hard truth of it. Pay one guy 150k to make programs and 40k a year to the producer that runs that machine. That's their plan.
I love hearing you guys just chatting about things. The history of shops has always been fascinating to me. I tried to change the culture of "good enough" at the shop I was working at and I was unsuccessful. I'd gotten them some large orders because of the quality I pushed for. I remember making 100 parts then next time it came in it was for 600. At the end of the day the same quality problem I fixed came back in the new part because they just loaded up the old program before I fixed it. The same 0.005" step was there, nobody cared about the appearance of the part except me. I won't be there next time it runs. When you push endmills hard how do you manage surface finish? Do you add a separate finisher endmill or do you use the same tool on a finish pass?
Sorry to hear that… Yep, Rough Aggressively… I mean MURDER Material!!! Then show down and come back and Kiss the Baby… right into spec perfectly. There is a time and a place.
Love the new channel. It’s definitely not a beauty pageant though. Can we throw a couple sweet machined parts in the background also? Keep up the great work everyone
I was just telling my guys, that we need to dive into more grinding. Every grind shop I go into I am the youngest guy there. And I am 56! These shops are not going to be around in the next few years. I am ready to start my journey into researching for OD and ID grinding machines. CNC surface grinders. Where do we start? My examples are only seeing old style grinders how do I decide what "NEW" style grinder to get? -Jon Schaeffer
It’s cool that any dummy can succeed. It used to be that you had to be educated and disciplined to get ahead; now, machines and tech let random goofballs live their dreams. Never give up, fellas!

Toolmakers are a commodity and the way forward. Just scratching the surface. I appreciate the Toolmakers and machinists, old school and new.

3:40 The same could probably be said in many industries and skill sets.
Also, this podcast is a gold mine, Thanks!

Love the flow and humor.
Real people creating REAL MAGIC!
Thanks Dan

I can confirm the part about being dropped off at Donnie 😂
Not only do you have a good culture you inspire others to cultivate dynamite cultures and awesome companies to work for
Love this conversation! Awesome lessons to be learned to make people more money!

Dad always impressed on me to keep your eyes open and watch, keep your ears open and listen, and ask questions when required to clarify.

@@titansofcncpodcast Most Titan answer. I'll be watching, I'll continue learning no matter what I do for work.
I have learned so much more from your videos than I ever learned from school. Thanks for the great videos.
That is so Awesome… Thanks Sam.
Titan
It's true: our student to teacher ratio is +200,000:10! What a truly blessed opportunity it is to educate the world!
Awesome....I met you once in LA...
Is there a Titans of CNC DFM Academy coming down the pipeline?
Enjoying these podcasts, thanks

GREAT VIDEO!
Hi guys
You know i dont think you guys come into the Machinist category?
Machine Operator is the word, the word......
Ow yeeeh! I’m the first guy who watches it! Love you guys!!❤
Love you
I’m a machinist I can make anything but money
Enjoyed the podcast, but "Only so much you can learn about the human body before you know it all" is completely wrong.
Agreed
🧐
Inconel is such a pain to work with. But maybe its just because mt shop wont spend the proper money on tooling.
Gun drilling is an untapped resource it seems. But industry dependant.
