CNC Job Shop buys 30 DN Solutions Machines During Economic Downturn 

Thank you everyone for the love and comment! You guys are definitely making me want to do more! Team kevton!

Worked for Kevin and Tony at a restaurant they own while I was in college. They are such hard working and creative guys, I’m glad that they are reaching their goals, it was bound to happen!

This is exactly the kind of shop that this country needs. A shop that can bring any design to life, giving freedom of imagination to engineers.

Absolutely love the energy, passion, and camaraderie in that shop. When people enjoy coming to work, everyone benefits! Problems are solved together, opportunities to grow in knowledge abound, and career advancement is obvious and feels attainable. So many shops get this wrong, makes my heart feel good to see a shop getting it absolutely RIGHT. Thanks Titan for this look behind the scenes.

What a clean place to work at. And the atmosphere seems really good! This shop is gonna make it far I hope!

I work in CNC aerospace making aerofoils for jets and rockets. I'm excited to see shops and owners like this developing into manufacturing monuments. Keep up the great work, lets get after it!

Motivated and passionate leadership with a huge vision! Thanks for the tour boss! Keep up the good work Kevton Industries! 💪🏻

Just a ton of solid insights in this video. From recognizing people's natural skillsets, to recognizing the differential of challenges from one machine shop to the next, to being humble and asking for advice when you need it. Great shop with great attitudes all around. Really loved the tour guys!

Great to see such a squared away organization, wish nothing but the best for Kevton!

Way kewl of Kevin for recognizing peoples potential for their way of thinking, and giving them the opportunity to raise their game for being part of a constructive culture, for a collective betterment. Merry Christmas y’all!

This is a really well done video. Thanks for Showing us Keviton and all the energy and inspiration that they obviously have. Very cool

It's great to see young guys in the trade. Nice shop with great teamwork.

Congratulations to all, and best of luck 👍this type of work shop is my greatest ambition

Great tour! 👏 Definitely inspiring and insightful. Clean shop - loved seeing the energy and culture of this place and hearing Kevin’s experience and stories with the team. Wtg kevton!

Great tour! What a beautiful shop and making it a one stop shop will be very beneficial. That’s an awesome TEAM!

What a great TEAM! Where do you go to get the money to buy not 1 or 2 machines, 30 machines in one go. Wish you guys nothing but the best Kevton Technologies and all your employees. What a great atmosphere in that shop.

What a great story! Awesome investment in manufacturing. CLEAN SHOP! Way to expose greatness happening right around the corner.

I love seeing great stories like this one. Thank you for the video!!!! Very inspiring!!! I'm 56 years old and just starting out in 2d and 3d drawing, and next I want to learn how to put to G code and use my 5 axis milling machine. So thanks again Titans...

Love the attitude on the shop. Wish I can work for you guys.

Damn inspiring man... So cool what you're doing Titan. End of the video gave me goosebumps. That's awesome. Much love and gratitude my brother! ❤💥

Wow very motivated video. Love you bro. I'm also a Turner. (SN 50 C TOSS TRENCIN LATHE machine. More than 20 years) I like your all videos. Very enjoyable job style. Thank you so much bro.

Good luck to these guys they seem like really good people.. a lot of expensive equipment.. nice to see people diving head first in an economy like this all the luck to these playerz

Very friendly staff in this company 👍

Ive been doing CNC going on 5 years now running mostly Lathes and EDM. We make medical tools and impants, so mostly pretty small stuff. Just seeing the size of yalls machines and the parts yall make is just pure insanity to me lol.

Love their attitudes.hope they go far

Nice. It's always exciting to learn new machining processes and explore the limits. Now the long term challenge is, can they continue to recruit and train qualified young people, gifted with that mechanical aptitude and curiosity.

Looks like an awesome place to grow as a machinist, and a fun place to work. Great video. Ciao, Marco.

Looks like a great team that is making things happen! And those white floors😳😎

That's a very nice shop! We need a few more like that here in Oklahoma.

These guys are really happy ,much laughter 😃.

Really nice video! and beautiful words Titan!

I’m from Houston Texas and I been working In different shops from big companies to small shops and man this shop is clean! Bad ass machines. I wouldn’t mind working for them keep up the good work! 🤘🔥🔥 the idea they doing is similar to y’all’s keeping all the machines the same controls/brand so they can cross-train people more easily just in case one of them takes vacations or etc.

The Vietnamese roll deep in the Texas CNC scene. At least half the machinists at the job shop I work at are Vietnamese in Austin.

KEVTON TO THE MOOOON! 🌑🌑🌑

Rising tide raises all ships. Never fail to deliver the goosebumps.

Great job TITANS Successful people can make their dreams 👏👏

it's completely correct when they say you have to keep learning , machining is a never ending learning journey , the passion of the craft unites us all of over the world , the big brotherhood of machinists and mechanical engineers

Thật tuyệt khi thấy người Việt trong kênh YT về máy móc nổi tiếng như này

the company is so clean and well organized

In all honesty, I hope to work in a place like this one day.... even if I am just a cleaner for these machines... because the situation in my country is no longer tolerable 😢 But as we always used to say... After distress, there is relief 💔

Amazing work!

It's cool to see all the Doosan machines in their shop & they are making some cool parts. Chika chika BOOM 💥

I wish that I was living near there and had the opportunity to work at a great place like this

Woooow congrats titan. Hope to be your client soon.

I got 17 years CNC Lathe experience. I love it. The only thing I'm good at.

Dosnt matter how many machines you have in the uk, the problem is you can't get the staff to run them, you need pay top money to get anyone and keep them.

Great work sir Love ❤️ from india

Very good video I need to step up my game 😂

Man I wish the shop I work at looked this clean

looks like a great company, got friends in Houston if I ever make it that way I would definitely apply

Very impressive

Damn clean shop, making it happen

what amazing Vietnamese guys in the US? Proud of u

Nice video!

Looking forward to the auction in a few years.

Looks like another company built on love!

Bruh I can’t wait til that auction

Here in Trinidad we operate all machines too. We are not only a Lathe or a mill operator.

We all need to "collaborate" to keep work here in the USA!

Awesome Bro ! We Have Small facility of CNC machines & Mold Manufacturing in India. Love to see your vedios ❤

Team work makes the dreams work.

Changing the inserts on that end mill would take a while lol

Man I'm a maintenance mechanic/ welder for 33 yrs and I want to go work for you guys

The crisis is not for business owners. It's for homeowners and workers. You'll be fine.

Yay love the cnc video's.

My dad was a master tool and die man that never ran anything CNC. On the other hand my brother is an awesome CNC machinist who started operating the CMM and was recruited to sell CMM's by a company. He is now back in QC running a CMM. I worked in a machine shop back in 1990-1992 back when I was 22-24. I was put on nights to run a brand new Mazak lathe that I helped the owner install into the shop. I guess it pissed off a few guys because I was pretty green and was running that brand new Mazak lathe. I usually only made 1 or 2 corrections due to insert wear but it ran dead nuts all the time..... it ran bar stock through the back of the lathe so I ran the auto saw while the new Mazak whipped them parts out, dead on everytime. I checked usually 1 dimension on number each 5th and a full inspection on each 10th. We ran parts for Stryker medical so we had to hold .0005 on most parts. We cut the side rails for the hospital beds down to tear dropped knurled finished bone grinders in different "grits" so to speak. I worked 5pm - 3:30am for almost years and after working the 2nd year of nights and making essentially no mistakes because all I did was dump the bin and check parts. Well that asshole who I had developed a great relationship with gave me $0.15 raise at my 2 year anniversary. I told him "I QUIT" and walked out to the shop and rolled my box out back the a couple guys helped me load it, So he told my friend that I needed to come in and talk to him because he didn't accept my resignation. When I told him I wanted a minimum of a dollar he countered with a quarter so I told him to FO and went back to what I grew up doing with my family owned construction company. I had already made one phone call after I quit that afternoon and I was back working in the construction trade which is what i retired from after 29-30 years due to my back issues. When I told him I wanted a minimum of a dollar he countered with a quarter so I told him to FO and went back to what I grew up doing with my family owned construction company. I probably should have toughed it out machining because it wasn't nearly as hard on my body. I am fighting to learn to play guitar again after about 25-26 years. My hands are so beat up and the carpal tunnel in both hands makes it very challenging to get my left fingers to move individually

I wish i could get into this.

Tự hào những con người Việt Nam

Is it something I need to think of (safety wise) on the PUMA SMX2600ST?

Love the videos! Anyone know the song at 17:33 ? Such a catchy tune!

Kevton 👍

i wish i could work at a place like this. i have the opposite situation going for me. i want to push my knowledge and skills but my current place of employment lacks required work, tight control that limits workers growth and cheap pay that has been making rethink what am i doing in this trade. so the only plan i could think is to take matters into my own hands and try obtaining my own machine which isn't easy when your living in poverty. the opportunities here in TORONTO Ontario Canada are so dismal it hurts

So geat

I think you will do well as companies look to alternative sources.

You must have singlehandedly doubled the business from DOOSAN. At my current work even though we do mostly aluminum and copper we got some DOOSAN machines and they are definitely solid machines.

Without cnc machines you would have nothing BOOM 💥 ♥

I have a question on DN solution Puma 700 xy leathe. How do you run the spindle and the live tool at the same time? What m code allows this to happen?

This is really what Amercian Manufacturing is about. People who are willing to invest into their people to bridge the gap between the People to make the Process that uses the Technology to its fullest. Respect from the employer to the employees and vice versa is also as important. Everyone is a valuable asset in any company if they choose to be one. Don't be dead weight and you will be rewarded in this industry. We all don't need degreed in this world to make something of ourselves, and Manufacturing is one area that proves just that.

Would you ever run automated jobs from a network or does required manual intervention mean that it doesn’t offer enough benefit? Are there any unified solutions for machine hardware status/performance visibility? LinuxCNC could -probably- be configured to feed data to Prometheus for a poor man’s GE Predix. We have like 15 other mills at my school and if I figure out the TinyG stuff I could theoretically control them from Linux. I don’t have enough experience to understand the processes though. The machines definitely require experienced operators bc you don’t want to run without eyes on the machines to spot problems. Additive manufacturing, it’s less so.

Boom

How many thousands of amperage do you need to run that shop?

If you made 5.56 and other chamber function gauges you would sell all of them over night... PTG needs competition as their product has been taking a year or longer to obtain..

how are they paying for the machines. leasing? bank financing?

Smart company, borrow money on productive things while it is still relatively cheap. One of my contacts that rep another brand of CNC say they have never been busier at the moment. This is not intended to be political but rather what I conveyed as an existential threat to my former employer's (private) owner that insisted on outsourcing everything possible to China because it was ~30% cheaper, when he had millions of $$$ in CNC and horizontal mills on the floor sitting idle. My contention was to outsource temporarily and then use their prices as a target to increase efficiency in-house over the next 12 months, this of course went on deaf ears as he was raised in a corporate environment where maximizing profits this quarter is paramount. You may have the money to buy a small manufacturing company, that doesn't mean you have the mindset to be an entrepreneur. In the moments after the first artillery shell flies over Taiwan, the CNC centers in this video will be worth multiple times more than the company paid for them. Or the company can keep them and the rates and profit for CNC machining will also be multiple times more than today. Given the current environment if China were to be suddenly decoupled from the US it would be a highly disruptive event for both parties but I fear the US would have the worse of it. Many dismiss this as a possibility or make excuses that they will deal with it when/if that happens. Here is the thing, it is too late to prepare once Chinese battleships start massing off the coast of Taiwan. Domestic demand will explode as every CEO suddenly realizes how exposed they were and try to keep their company from starving for components. Companies relying on outsourcing will be competing for limited resources and the companies as in this video will be able to name their price. Little companies needing parts will be outbid by bigger ones and struggle to survive Simply buying these CNC centers then will also be impossible because demand will also explode and supply will be temporarily restricted because some of the components invariably come from...China. Like a new CNC lathe to make your own parts? "Sure delivery will be roughly 36 months and we will tell you what it costs when we complete it in late 2025 assuming a big company doesn't offer us double and you go back in line... that will be 50% down of today's list price, sign here."

Which CNC Machine Make do U think is the Best?

Interesting video but of course the major things being left unsaid here are (a) how are they affording this and (b) do they have an order stream already in place that justifies multi-million dollars worth of this machinery. Yeah great they are creating jobs but I feel that there are some qualifiers in here that are key to the discussion!!

plz talle me which vmc mmachine is best in 3 axis? i want buy from india

it's like a Willy Wonka factory, love you

tengo 4 años juntando dinero para comprar un cnc y aun no puedo, quizás para dentro de 2 mas podré tenerle y eso fieado 😅, y ustedes comprando 30 sin broncas....😱😱

Something I find interesting is the number of female machinists he has. Titan's got at least one lady turning large pieces of metal into small ones but you've got to admit, machining is definitely a male-dominated industry. Hopefully some ladies look at this shop's crew and say, "yeah, this is a good field to be in, I can definitely see myself being happy doing this." And as for "financing in an economic crisis..." Dude! If you know you've got the work to support the loan payments, an economic crisis is exactly when you should buy machinery. You get better interest rates from the bank because they really want to make loans, and you get better prices from the machine builders because they really want to sell tools. Plus, if you buy thirty CNC machines you can make a heck of a lot more parts and they will bring you a heck of a lot more money. It just takes a little courage and a lot of customers.

👍👍👍

Is Doosan better than Haas? Its like everyone is getting Doosan now

Sir please give me one CNC vertical milling machine with ATC

i want bore up my vario150cc to 300cc please

Titan checking out his competitors ?? 30 Machines, and I'm sure more to still come after that ?? These guys will be in direct competition with Titan, more than lightly undercutting him on a fair few jobs. Everyone is laughing at this shop because they already know what will happen in future. These guys are very serious about their business, and not relying on Sponsorship to make it happen 👍👍

Almost 20 years still working two axis i whish to have more axis in new years.

Why did Titan stop using Haas?

Why you guys running that 5-axis so SLOWWWW?

I'd kill for one for my gun business

Columbia yeah, 🤔
