Love it... one thing you can also do is on the go no-go gages is on the GO gage where the set screws are hidden with red filler, use green... Green means go.. red means no go so people can physically see them. Sometimes that lettering on those gages get hard to read in bad light, or bad age lol. Just something we did when I was machining.
I'm not a machinest but I do want to be an engineer one-day. Would you consider doing a video on how us engineers can make life better for our machinist
As a draft checker/drawing reviewer that also have experience as a machinist I would say learn your GD&T well. Tolerance the important functional feature of your part, not features that mate to air. Take into consideration how the part will be manufactured and inspected. When you have the opportunity ask to join the procurement guys next time they’re visiting a supplier/workshop. If you have a prototype department, ask them how your drawings could improve. Most of the time they’ll make the part good enough or better than what the drawing said because they know what it’s for/can adapt adjacent parts in the assembly to fit. That’s nice and all, but the feedback they could have provided you with is lost. But when it’s time for mass production you may have 5 different suppliers for all the parts in the assembly, maybe even the same part from different suppliers. Then your drawings have to be as close to perfect as can be. That’s where their feedback early on in the prototype stage could be invaluable.
As a programmer/toolmaker, I suggest doing as much machining as you can in any environment to learn about capabilities of different machines, metallurgy, finishes, speeds and feeds, etc. It will help you greatly in designing components or processes.
Engineer here. If you want to be an engineer, go right into engineering. It’s extremely difficult and you need to get through that as soon as you graduate high school. You can do it at anytime but it’s so freaking challenging, it’s a lot better to hit the ground running early.
Titan I really enjoy watching your videos on my lunch break. It makes me want to get back onto the floor and out of inspection and make parts again. Lol
You got alpha, beta, and sigma male machine shops! These guys are sigmas all the way! What a bad ass channel to follow, one of my favorites! Great work men, you guys do great work for the us of a!
Too bad i'm not an American or from someplace near Northern California (not familiar on where California is located, haven't looked that up). I would've gone to meet you guys on May 2nd & 3rd, but am limited by the income I get doing work on CNC machines (Mainly setting up and operating mills and sometimes lathes, in setting these machines programming is also included - not always)
4:42 0.05 mm is hard, not that hard but CANT be understimated ^^ finally a good "design paper" to see ! and of course is TITANS level because titanium, not alluminum or brass ^^
Great video. Question on the inspection. Is there enough distortion on the part once the second machining OP is completed? If so, do have to reinspect all features inspected from OP 1?
Yep, you have to check op one and then recheck op one as a finished part… once the second op is done. You also have to be strategic in how you proceed. Meaning… If I know that the part is going to bow by .003 after the second op is done… and I have .005 for a total tolerance. I would make sure to keep the first side to .001 or less For a total of .004 Make sense?
Sorry I did miss that. You guys turned me on to the TE and when I found out that’s the tooling we were using for our vises in my apprenticeship, I took full advantage of what it can do to mill our pockets. 4140 steel, 3/8 end mill, full radial and 2xD. My program took just under 3 minutes and the guy I’m competing with as well as the teachers program were 48 min and 47 respectively. Blew their socks off
It's always nice seeing Titan at the controls. He has a remarkable talent for storytelling through machining. I can't wait to see the inspection and second operation!
I finally got to make my first chip's on my manual mill. It was only cast iron but now I have chip fever. lol Someone gave me some titanium round stock I'm hoping to find a project for. One day I hope to make big chips like you Barry. Keep up the awesome work you guys are a huge inspiration to me.
Hey Titan! Regarding the Boombastic Open House, is it open to media? I'd love to come up there from Houston but not only to meet with y'all, I'd love to shoot a video about the experience! That's a large handful of chips you're holding in that clip, are they not too sharp and cut you? Thank you Titans of CNC!
My Spinal Injuries go back 50 years, Broken 4 times in 6 places. I asked God Why Me The Victim, Why It was all Other people's Fault. GOD SAID WELL WOULD YOU RATHER IT WAS ALL YOUR FAULT? And I Melted In My Chair.. God Wants me to be a man and Get Through it all! So Now I do small Tasks At Home. Titans of CNC helps My Boredom & Gives Me Hope. This is a huge open door for America, Thank God.
As a college lecturer in UK, do you guys do anything in regards to working in the UK I'd love for my students to have access to some of the stuff you guys do. We run Haas super mini mill and a st10 and tl1 lathes
Everything is very beautiful, but the detail is that they do not specify the process, titanium is easy with the appropriate parameters, not only because it is that metal, it is already high-end, the machines behave differently in other steels, greetings my humble opinion
Have you guys ever used gibbs cam? Thats what we use at my work, i have played with mastercam a little bit at school, but i know gibbs better didnt know what your guys preference was.
Telling people you can do this with your machine and make money is crazy. Not everyone has brand new machines, expensive workholding, clamping on an inch of material for extra rigidity
Wow, I want to hear how you went from having it rough out of prison to learning this trade!! I’m looking to get into this trade, any advice. Do I call every shop and ask if they will teach me??? Idk I personally just got back from failing bootcamp with the coast guard and now I want to do this.
@@TITANSofCNC Hi..but when you load the new thread mill into the collet how would you orientate it to the broken one pitch wise so you don’t end up with a double start thread ? Thanks for the reply love your content
Yeah nice to see the big man at the controls. He’s truly passionate about his craft and that shows in all he does. 👍🏻 Ps. I’d like to see a video on how the CMM works too. That looks so cool.
If you're drilling counterbored holes, what is the benefit of cutting the through hole with a larger dia drill bit and then using a smaller dia drill bit to cut the counterbore? Couldn't you just use the larger bit to cut the counterbore in the same operation to save time?
I havent actually seen you do the programming yourself yet, im sure i just missed it but i enjoyed seeing the boss get his hands dirty. The younger guys probably got all indignant and territorial but im sure they also liked to see it too, even if they didnt say it.
True, but it will still be held to parameters set forth by an inventor… and if that inventor isn’t the best machinist in the world… The Ai will always have someone better out there. Not faster, but yes… better
What do you recommend between thread milling and rigid tapping ? ( where both options are there). In my machine shop we use rigid tapping all the way till m24 and some bigger ones as well. Just wondering if thread milling is more economical ?
They make different ones for different applications like if you need to reach five inches down on a part from a five axis tilting 45 degrees it’s gotta be a long tool. It’s just what you need it for. But collets are relatively reliable
Nice to see a video where you can hear what a nice cut sounds like. That noise will probably save a thousand endmills on people guessing and hoping they got the data right. ❤
Sorry bra, but with experience you defenitely know at least how a good cut sounds. Doesnt really matter what kind of material it is. And yes i said good cut... a perfect cut is something else and needs especially with materials as Titanium much more experience. But if you hear a bad sound you will not go on with the cutting , you will stop it and change the parameters.
Dude, you always have to 100% check threads on a part of this magnitude. I was just saying that if I am doing a thread with a major dia of .3125… and I know from experience that is I program it to that dia… the thread gage won’t go in… Then I will remember from past experiences that I had to comp the thread mill -.006 So, I will now, just automatically program it larger by .006 Which will give me a perfect thread the first time out.. Of course the thread mill can break down and create a bad thread. Not sure why I wasted my time on your comment but ya… easy stuff. No sense reinvent the wheel. Titan
Because there are camera cuts, it's an opportunity to call "bullshit". Bombastic as you are, you also seem to know your stuff so I would not be surprised if you could indeed nail a threadmill on the first attempt. With all the production, it's sometimes hard to know what's real and what's hollywooded up.@@TITANSofCNC
It would have been great on a Heller but you still would have 2 ops… if there was more 4th and 5th axis work then yes… But the MYNX is a Bad Ass Powerful 3 Axis that costs much less. So I am enjoying getting it done on here.
@@TITANSofCNC I can only imagine what the price difference is. I think DN Solutions makes awesome machines! I’m so freaking jealous ! FYI I’m retired and sold the business to my sons but I still stay active. Just got awesome news. Modern Machine Shop is planing on doing a RU-vid of the shop in May. We’re small but still pretty cool. Sort of a job shop yet we have hundreds of repeat customer parts for years. 25 years ago I started a division with my own design performance motorcycle parts. Did great till the Chinese knocked us off. Can’t compete in that arena no matter what equipment I’d have had. Anyway Kudos for everything to do to educate. You’re #1 in my world !
54 to be exact and yep, I have a great wife and life and love coming to work every day and working with my Amazing team. Ask them if they would have it any other way… I also have extreme passion every minute of the day… so don’t get confused😜
