    Suggestion: If you have a second, extended, video like this, ,can you advertise it at the start of the other video? I would have watched this one first because I know you make good content. Heck, you could have a video on watching paint dry and I would still likely watch the extended version because I am sure you would still teach me a lot.
    Keep up the good work.

      I'm sure I missed much of the "extras" here skipping over the parts that were in the main video I already watched. You should assume that everyone watched the main video first, and don't duplicate it and then hide the extras in the middle - JUST put the extras here. OR warn us on the main channel not to watch that video and just watch the extended version here.

    I will have to say that the quality of the men and women working there is amazing. What a wealth of experience and integrity.
    Safety: there is a video here on youtube somewhere where there are I think 8 guys INSIDE a monster press, moving the part from one station to the next. they are making car headlight housings. They bend down every time the press goes down and then back up, move the part and then bend back down again.. Totally crazy dangerous.
    This is probably one of the most interesting videos on manufacturing I have watched on youtube. Usually they are taped by the company themselves and it's totally showmanship. This you get in-depth explanations.

      You could often say Made In The USA from globally sourced material with sheetmetal product too. A lot of the raw sheetmetal comes from china. Not all of it, but a lot.
      And the machines are often of foreign origin, Germany, Japan, Switzerland, China too.
      Before anyone asks, yes, there is a big difference in quality between American/Canadian sheetmetal vs Chinese sheetmetal. Mainly in the stress relieving and the dimensional cutting of the coils widthwise. You can already tell if it's chinese steel just by the way the coil unrolls on the decoiler. The sides of the sheet are wavy and the coil tends to want to slip off sideways every other turn due to the uneven stress in the metal on chinese steel.

    This might sound nuts, but hear me out: one of the more impressive machines in that entire building is the black Wilson hardness tester in the corner of the quality office...it is far from the largest or most important machine and probably only gets used occasionally depending on customer requirements, but it's definitely older than any of the employees and still remains a valuable inspection tool. I've had the pleasure of using a couple different Wilson testers of that same vintage over the years, all of which were made in the 1930s and 1940s and are as robust and accurate as the day they were made (with a little TLC, of course). As impressive as modern production and inspection tools are with their features and speed, the fact that equipment made 50, 60, 70, or more years ago is still working and being productive is maybe even more impressive.

    When I was young there, made in Germany usually meant that the tool was the best. Slowly that changed and made in North America (Canada,USA) was very good. I was taught to buy North American tools, and so were most of my peers.
    Today, cheap is name of the game, and I don’t believe it was a success. Sure NorthAmerica manufacturers needed a kick in the pants, but some of the garbage that comes from China is worthless. Japan stuff is good, but cost same or more than NorthAmerica stuff, so again “ what’s the point”.

    Related to the 4x10 work week: I wish more jobs were possible to measure output on an hourly basis so you could clearly show you worked 10 good hours. It's hard to convince a manager of an IT company, for example, that you've done your 40 hours in only 4 days, because 8 productive hours and 10 lazy hours are pretty hard to tell apart without someone standing over your shoulder all day.

    If most things are cheaper to make in china, what are some reasons why stuff is still manufactured here (usa)? Quality? Better communication? Tax credits? Tarriffs?
    I wish there wasn't the massive outsourcing race to the bottom of production costs/wages, for the sole motive of profit that has taken place in the last 50 yrs. I just wonder how this place has survived? What makes them different? Or is it that they aren't doing nearly as well as they could if so much wasn't imported.
    It makes me happy to see these guys say they're getting treated well, and being content in a skilled trade besides contracting(nothing wrong with being a contractor, i am one, but that's what the majority are thinking of when they say 'skilled trades'). I just wonder how they seem to stay competitive. Whatever they're doing, hats off to them. Hope they remain profitable for a long time to come.

    I live and work in Wichita as a HVAC tech. I’m in and out machine shops on the regular. Let me tell you with all the aerospace and aviation in town, there are more machine shops supporting aerospace here than you can count. Some of the CNC machines and presses are fantastical. Before I got into HVAC, I worked in a sheet metal shop and got to setup and run all sorts of heavy machinery from shears, rollers, presses and brakes. Not quite a machinist but close. Yeah baby made in the USA 🇺🇸 means something.

    45:05 it's interesting to me that the bearings/guide pins on each corner come apart in operation.
    I would have thought it'd be important to keep the stroke shorter than those bearings so they stay together...

    I noticed almost all these guys are 50 plus years old. The same thing ive noticed with a lot of skilled trades. More are retiring than joining. I hope that they are able to find enough skilled workers in the future. it really is a tough sell to a kid for going into a profession such as tool and die Maker with the job prospects being as bleak as they are in the US. Anyway, great vid all the same. Thx.
    Sorry to be a debby downer but it's just what I've noticed and hear about. Its an easy answer to say the youngest generation is lazy, but i really think that has less of an effect than the parents, teachers, and guidance counselors who tell them they'll be a ditch digger if they don't go to college. Doesn't matter what you go for, just going is the important part (smh). Guy in the vid says something like "weve gotten a bad rap", and he's right.

    I have a 440 ton Seyi Servo as well as a 1,000 ton BNC press from an old GM plant. It shakes the floor in my office 200 yards away. But the Servo presses are the way of the future. So much more precise and capable than the normal mechanical presses that just go up and down at the same speed.

    If I'd have known at the start of the other video that there was an extended video, I would have watched this one instead. Now I'm here, and find that it's not "extra content", but an extended version, there's no way I'm going to sit through the same stuff all over again, just to find the extra bits. Either tell us up front that there's an extended cut, or put just the extra footage on this channel. I don't know if you're trying to game the algorithm by tricking us into watching a full length video and then an extended length video, but it's not going to work if everyone decides it's not worth the effort. You don't even have chapters, so we can jump directly to the extra content.
    Your sponsor slots are much too long as well. Sure, they're sponsoring you, but they're harming your channel if they demand so much air time they're pissing off your viewers. I have no use for AnyDesk, so of course I'm going to skip the ad, but when it's so long, it's just annoying.
    Considering your channel title, I'd expect you to do things smarter. If you want more views, don't try manipulating your viewers. You need to treat us with respect. Without us, you wouldn't have any sponsors.

    I worked in an automotive OEM stamping plant in college, it was truly a wonder to behold. Particularly the amount of time and effort that the machine operators and tool & die makers put in to troubleshooting panel issues on the fly. Running prototype dies was always super cool, everyone would be out on the shop floor and they’d run in in slow motion and pull panels out after each stamp to see how the forming progressed.
    I remember most vividly the first time I went out on the floor. It amazed me to stand next to one of the body side outer behemoth of a machine and feel the concrete floor quaking beneath me. Truly awe inspiring experience.
    Update: oh man this is bringing back memories of robot arms colliding with dies during panel transfers between stages 😂

    FWIW, it’s important for presses to be symmetrically loaded. Modern presses can also be monitored remotely so manufacturers can diagnose/troubleshoot, sometimes effectively. 😅

    The proprietary part of the blender blades - I'm totally guessing here is
    1. The tooling
    2. how the tooling works
    3. How the tooling is to actually get sharpened blades from the stamping itself and not need additional work

    When you are out and about, see if you can hit American Can Co. for punch press work, or anybody making pallet racking, or anybody doing roll forming. Roll forming dies in a multi stand roll former are as interesting as punch press work, you are changing the width and profile of the material, and cutting it to length while it is moving at a constant speed.

    My father was a tool and die maker most of his career. The presses were huge flywheel type three stories tall. Many of them. The press room thundered, and the floor shook over and over every time these things hammered out a part. Boom, boom, boom, boom! Dies the size of tractor trailer engines. Always amazed me a plain piece of metal went in, a complete part came out!!!!
