My darts are 23g Red Dragon with "Nixy" engraved at the top of the barrel, long black stems and Martin Adams "Wolfie" flights from the man himself. Had them for a year and a half, love them to bits.
This is just FABULOUS...what a THRILL to finally see how what I have played so much of my life...how it is made!!! Thanks so very much for the "UP"...may God bless you for it !!!
@@T_B1 I know you were just trying to help him/her out but I don't think he/she would care anymore what they wrote eight years later, or the account itself may not be active anymore
The machine clamps very tightly onto the rod using a collet. The oil makes things slippery, but not slippery enough to stop the collet gripping. The oil is cooling the tool and part as well as lubricating the tool. If it was not there the tools would blunt quickly, overheat, and leave a rougher finish. Also it's not straight oil but a soluble oil mixed with water usually.
Wow, there's a lot more manual labor than I thought. I figured a robot would just take bar stock in and spit packaged darts out. I wish they wouldn't skip over the hard parts, like how they cut screw threads.
@OMBIC Liked your comment. BTW, you would not know of any website willing to sell darts and darts accessories, and prepared to ship overseas? My local shop is getting too expensive...! Many thanks & best regards. John
Wow! A lathe huh? I figured they just used an old chisel and hammer to sort of carve the darts out of discarded metal they found in the garbage. It's not like they need to be precise and exact right? By the way they're called flights not wings. There's another reason why serious players choose Tungsten darts, they wear far less than brass. That's important when it comes to the knurled grooves of the barrel getting a good grip on the fingers.
The threads are cut by the machine using taps and dies. How it's made is for people who don't understand or know about stuff. A dart can be handmade as good as a machine to exact sizes but a copy lathe is used. And no it's not a computerised lathe
The knurling took place just before the groove cutting,a double wheeled friction thing,wrong info bout groove cutting called knurling,knurling ss an x shaped push indentation.
Darts that expensive probably have their price driven up by several factors: -expensive materials -the cost of the actual machines making them (THEY ARE INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE) higher quality machines and processes require more money -special or custom designs need to be designed on a computer by a professional and then inputted into the machine to change the turning pattern -the costs of replacing the cutting tools when worn down -the cost of the cooling oil (disposal is expensive)
@douro20 Can't say I'm horribly surprised. He's one of my favorite narrators for the show, at least in North America. That is a lot of cash for a few hours of work though.
@magson87 But, she does call them Flights. She only calls them Wings at first, so that the un-educated can make the connection afterward. Admittedly, however, she does call them that late in the video...
You'd have to be able to afford the machines which cost millions also the disposal of the oil which cant be recycled also the cost of replacing the worn down turning tools
@broddish2 Sorry I do apologize. The fiber is interesting but I meant the metal used as # markers on the board. Steel, aluminum, 17-5 ph material, brass, copper, etc. But thank you !
@cadders123 Both spellings are acceptable. North America now uses -um while much of the rest of the world uses -ium. Check out the article at World Wide Words.
@nzqi1 Yeah I said that before, who makes all these crazy machines and how are they made? It's insane, like this holy grail no one knows anything about these terminator machines.
Mostly celebrity markup and brand status. The ones they shown are probably 20-30 bucks. Also, darts are bought by weight. Plenty of quality control goes into making sure you get 3 equally weighted darts to +- .1 of a gram and other shit.
This VO is the best one that How It's Made ever had. I like the voice of this woman, and how she does the VOs.
I like the part when she says "shaft"
Dont forget the rod bahahahaha
My darts are 23g Red Dragon with "Nixy" engraved at the top of the barrel, long black stems and Martin Adams "Wolfie" flights from the man himself. Had them for a year and a half, love them to bits.
My darts are 330 gram darts that there sail says FatCat

Great video, love watching these type of clips :)
Did you see any green darts? ;)

@@3npitsu992 I can't remember something from 8 months - 9 years ago bro. Something anti-weed though
Absolutely fascinating i've never actually seen how darts are actually made great clip
We have been spoiled as a society by HD. I remember the 80s and 90s. This is how ALL tv shows looked
i wish there was a video about making a DART BOARD
There's a video on TH-cam that shows how boards are made.
Just type in how a dart board is made and it comes up with how a puma dort board is made watch that vid

@@planetx1595 ik doest matter, always here to help!
I just wanna know how they design and build these amazing machines!
The length of the video is 5:01..... AWESOME!
This is the greatest video i have ever seen
the puns!
oh the tungstony
this show makes the best puns
sick drum beat.
God...the puns...they're giving me a mind freezie.
If you are still active are you available to answer a few questions I have about this video?
The machine clamps very tightly onto the rod using a collet.
The oil makes things slippery, but not slippery enough to stop the collet gripping.
The oil is cooling the tool and part as well as lubricating the tool.
If it was not there the tools would blunt quickly, overheat, and leave a rougher finish.
Also it's not straight oil but a soluble oil mixed with water usually.
Now I want a dart and a dartboard
If it takes a minute to make a dart, why is the video five minutes long? hug
Cool, how do they make the tips called Hammerheads no bounce darts?
This commentsection is just awesome :D
One Generation earlier enjoying this video ^^
Wow, there's a lot more manual labor than I thought. I figured a robot would just take bar stock in and spit packaged darts out.
I wish they wouldn't skip over the hard parts, like how they cut screw threads.
if i wassent liveing here and had sutch waight on my sholders, you would find me somewere out in the bush flinging darts and a cold one in the hand :)
Doesn't the oil makes the machine hard to onto the metal rod and slipping off?
Mind blown 🤯
@Gappie Al Kebabi very cool 👍
@OMBIC Liked your comment.
BTW, you would not know of any website willing to sell darts and darts accessories, and prepared to ship overseas? My local shop is getting too expensive...!
Many thanks & best regards.

holy shit, that machine at 1:00 looks like alienstuff right there
Wow! A lathe huh? I figured they just used an old chisel and hammer to sort of carve the darts out of discarded metal they found in the garbage. It's not like they need to be precise and exact right?
By the way they're called flights not wings. There's another reason why serious players choose Tungsten darts, they wear far less than brass. That's important when it comes to the knurled grooves of the barrel getting a good grip on the fingers.
were can i get custom made flights from
the wings?
Gotta love the industrial tech.
Thanks for the video! I used this to create a power point about how darts are made for my engineering class.
Hope you got an A, even 8 years later
outstanding video
Really interesting video I liked it
Less than a minute for $$$$$$$$$
brass or tungstien to create the barrel
Cool. Nice to know. Amazing bit of stuff
That's for the steel tip. How about the soft 1??
Does anyone know the name of each machine? it's for my project about manufacture process
Thank You
did you ever figure it out? im interested also.
@BladeOfForsaken To lubricate the cutting tools. Metal gets danged hot.
What machines are used to make a dart?????
cnc lathes
They still make brass darts? And people still use them???
Most beginners start throwing with brass darts lol.
I recently started and bought several brass barrels, to find out with which sizes, weights and shapes I feel comfortable with.
Kind of like 'bar darts' cheap darts bars buy so it doesn't matter if they break or go missing.
SO MUCH LUBE !!!!
Great video
Is elkadart is the best darts company?
The threads are cut by the machine using taps and dies. How it's made is for people who don't understand or know about stuff. A dart can be handmade as good as a machine to exact sizes but a copy lathe is used. And no it's not a computerised lathe
What metal is used on an official dart board? :)
An infinite amount of entertainment
4:16 I'm gonna start collecting those :D
hashrulsubzero it’s 8 years on and how is your collection going
@55dpc sisal fibers, and darts whey all from 12grams to 40 grams
It all drips down to the bottom of the machine, collects in a sump, gets filtered and pumped back up through the sprayers again.
I wonder how much a custom made one cost.... badly want a Harrows but in my own design
+Embcii Bee Not as much as you might think there are a few places that do them. Voks in the US are good.
Djarra thnx, but I want Harrows
The knurling took place just before the groove cutting,a double wheeled friction thing,wrong info bout groove cutting called knurling,knurling ss an x shaped push indentation.
Remember a good set of Darts will give you unlimited entertainment. Oh .... No Arms.
@littlestworkshop because its a capstan?
Wow. Cool to see how things are made.
I prefer plastic shafts though.
thats what she said
Good video!
I like how they cut these things
i watched my brothers hand get stapled to the board in a game of darts, i pissed my self laughing for about 10 minutes.
I SHARPEN TOOTH-PICKS AND ATTACH A FEATHER ON THE OTHER END - I HAVE THROWN MANY MULTI-STAGE ROBINHOODS AT 100 (OR MORE) YARDS WITH THIS ARRANGMENT!
Sure you have. You couldn't throw a tantrum... 😂

And a magnet gets out aluminum how?
I wonder what machines make those machines
@douro20 Can't say I'm horribly surprised. He's one of my favorite narrators for the show, at least in North America. That is a lot of cash for a few hours of work though.
wow...useful info..i will remember to share at my next dinner party...
"That's what she said" Moments.. :P
@DragonXero
And Zac Fine is one of the world's highest priced narrators. For some TV programs he could command nearly two million per episode.
wings lol
Infinite amount of entertainment, yea!
@magson87 But, she does call them Flights. She only calls them Wings at first, so that the un-educated can make the connection afterward. Admittedly, however, she does call them that late in the video...
thats fascinating
You'd have to be able to afford the machines which cost millions also the disposal of the oil which cant be recycled also the cost of replacing the worn down turning tools
"Now it's time to screw the shaft" WHAT DID SHE SAY!?!
An infinite amount of entertainment? REALLY.
yeah she does say that!!!
King Midas got some apparently
She sure liked saying the word shaft...and I didn't mind it
@ManginaHole - It's not wasted, but filtered and reused...
Aluminum? Never heard of it.
Aluminium however..
You son of a bitch you're right, but North Americans typically call it Aluminum, even products are labeled as such.
Aluminum is a lighter version of aluminium, made with a special process that removes one i.
I don't have to love annything. Damn it !!!
so thats how darts are made
the time it takes to make it is only part of the overall cost.
@broddish2 Sorry I do apologize. The fiber is interesting but I meant the metal used as # markers on the board. Steel, aluminum, 17-5 ph material, brass, copper, etc. But thank you !
i wonder if she made up all those great puns by her self

awesomee
@nzqi1 Yeah I said that before, who makes all these crazy machines and how are they made? It's insane, like this holy grail no one knows anything about these terminator machines.
that was oil, not water. it is used for keeping the machines cool.
@littlestworkshop because people who don't use or know about machining just call them a machine
i feel like ive been ripped of..... DAMN YOU DART INDUSTRI
I use 22 grams perfect weight in my opinion
The Romans had darts ,throwing arrows ,they look exactly the same , but bigger
Prices are getting out of hand for some darts
I'd hate to think how my Harrows Oracle darts were made.
@Jesus1229 Did you even watch the video?
I will never complain about my job again.
it looks like the machine is giving birth >P
