I have never worked and will never work in the steel industry. This guy is just so enthusiastic and cares about what he does, that I have to subscribe.
I am a Japanese and working in metal processing. (in Japan) Makino + master cam combination I am very happy to see foreigners working in the same combination. I look forward to the next video.
We work with Mitsui Seiki , Mori Seiki , SNK , OKK ,since 1991 we love it . With respect thank for the best quality so we help ASML Litho to get Nano precision .
@@pjoh7 No i don't . I work at machine shop ( MOGEMA.BV ) we make most and main part for ALSM for more then 20 years . I been at ASML in Veldhoven 4 time , so we understand why accuracy and clean is the quality they want .( even fingerprinting on the part is reject )
@@pjoh7 As you know standard machines in a/c room on 19 C degree ( incl the coolant temperature ) you can get only Mirco mm accuracy ..... that is still 0.000000 to fare from Nano mm . The Swiss machine we have has granite bed ( like CMM ) slide on air , high temperature resistant . Even all of that . to get the best we use probe to measure our part before we remove it from machine . The Japanese machine still one of the best in quality . The probe report come out is near the Zeiss CMM report ). If you ask me i will say cheap Japanese machines like SNK compare to Haas is same like you compare Mercedes and Ford . Out side all of this factor you still needs peoples who care about what they make .
When I went to machining school, and when I got my first machine shop job, I had to deal with a lot of older guys who were very negative. Guys who spent there lives on manual machines, and took it personally that things have changed in machining. Now I'm meeting people a little younger and there's a lot more positivity. People like Titan, Mark Terryberry, John Saunders, and others who aren't on UA-cam, are helping keep the attitude alive that machining is the coolest job ever. In machining there's always new stuff to learn and if we want to be the best machinists we can you have to talk to people to learn how they solved problems you haven't. There's nothing better than talking to people who are clearly passionate and knowledgeable about machining, telling you about crazy stuff in the field you never even knew about.
I think every shop has at least one old master who thinks everything new is bullshit because they have been hand writing g code on black-and-yellow screened fanucs for 35 years...
Machine shops are full of technically smart individuals who lack emotional awareness and intelligence. Their emotions are the biggest hurdle to change etc.
i am sorry but i have respect for the old guy , they know how to get the best from manual machines . After 29 years work with CNC machines i have said many of us are nothing then buttons pusher . Don't believe me , just ask one of the best man you know 1) what did he know about tool ? coating ? cutting angel ? make blue print from programs ( that mean you can read program )
I've been a CNC programmer since 2006 and currently work for an F1 team and can safely say it's a great job. Although it can be extremely stressful, it's fantastic making products from lumps of material, I wish more kids could be made aware of the industry.
I love machining so much so that at one point I worked at 3 different machine shops. The first two were both full time (7am-3pm then drove 3 miles and worked 3:10 pm til 1am Mon-Fri). Then worked Saturday at a another shop. 2.5 years later I finally decided to work at my original job only. That was 8 years ago. Today, I work at a different shop and we recently bought out the shop I originally started in. And I was asked last year to work part time again, but at my convenience, at my old 2nd full time job so I agreed. All within an 8 mile radius. I still remember the day when I told my dad I was going to study machining for college and his reply was "you'll never find a job out there for that." ... I haven't missed a day of work since
You guys are insane. I'm 35 I've been doing machining for about 15 years. I taught myself to program basic g&m codes on a 1997 three axis Haas vf2 with 4th Axis indexer. This stuff blows my mind. Keep it up but don't expect me to keep up. LOL
I used to do this shit; making parts for fighter jets. The work was super interesting and fun to watch but the pay was garbage. Never thought I'd be watching videos of it on youtube 10+yrs later and missing watching this for fun. Machining is awesome.
Mr. Titan, I can’t begin to say what an honor it was to meet you last week at the Premier Technology event in Pocatello ID. I’ve watched a number of the videos you’ve posted to UA-cam and I appreciate the work you and your company do. It makes me want to go out and do great things in the field I’m about to enter in April (Manufacturing Engineering Technology).
When I see how finite these machines work, I just get more blown away when I think of the old guys doing all this by hand. My dad was a master machinist and worked for the railroad making parts for the old steam engines.
I am a maintenance machinist at the Swisher Sweets cigar mfg plant. There is a display of parts made by thier shop for the govt during WW2 and the craftsmanship and skill involved in making some of those parts was incredible!

Nothing I couldn't do without an angle grinder , a drill , a welding machine a hammer and a ruler. Difference is it would take me months to make. Can't beat CNC but it is still nice to have the skills.
I am also a CNC guy and have made parts for the government. NASA, bureau of navel weapons, ect. I take great pride in the work that we do at the shop. Not many can say they have worked on such projects.
There are so many machine tool builders making such good equipment that it's hard to decide what to buy! We looked at ALL of them, from ten different countries and four continents. In the end we chose Mazak machines and PH Horn for our durable tooling and a mix of SECO, Kennametal, Sandvik and smaller local brands. for our perishable. We use the Blazer full synthetic and we have separate centrifuge that we process the coolant through once it's been used. It basically triples our coolant life. But we could have just as easily chose Makino for our provider. Very high end machines.
@@Raruschmaru not more than, that logic dictates that they do not like this "destructive" manufacturing at all. Main issue: why were they watching to begin with?
To address some of the comments mentioning old school guys in the trade. CNC machining is clearly awesome , Titan here is an awesome person or atleast seems to be , I dont know him personally but his cause is just and he is making a good living while doing it. Cant say anything bad about that now can we ? As far as the old guys and their attitudes . Its not just about them being phased out . Its about an era and a way of doing things and valued people that worked hard to produce world class parts in a country that couldnt be rivaled . Knowledge is leaving along with them in massive amounts. So when you catch an old dude that might not like the CNC stuff much put a little more thought into why .
Complimenti caro collega io ho usato Mastercam per 15 anni devo dire che è un ottimo programma buon lavoro io adesso sono in pensione e mi diverto a vedere ancora chi lavora Buon Lavoro
@Divinegon no, it means to set them at the proper angle. In this case each tooth on the cutter head has to be inserted and have the angle checked for accuracy. Although the seats are angled to basically do this for you so I'm not sure if they actually get double checked with a tool of some type or not.
I feel bad for the guy who bumps the machine for the first time, like crashing a million dollar car and you're not the owner....then you have to talk to the owner😱
@Divinegon indexing does mean to place something at the correct angle but that is not what is going on here anyways. These inserts only cut with a single edge so you can rotate them 3 times then flip them over and use all four of those edges also. The insert itself is made to fit the tool and if you were to place one on it would seat very naturally, the screw that is used to tighten them in place usually looks like a flat head screw with that cone shape to align the insert into final location. Whatever slight differences between how much further one insert is sticking out over another will soon not matter. First of all the deviation will be very small and second of all as soon as you start cutting those sticking out slightly will wear rapidly resulting in all the inserts contacting the material evenly. The people here talking about they need to index the inserts for accuracy don't know what they are talking about, it's very simple, you make a cut and then measure what you intended your cut to be, if it is off you make an adjustment in your tool offsets page, you certainly don't start dicking around with your inserts lol.
I have been a machinist for 43 years. I could 100% hand make that part, to better tolerances, with just a drawing, & micrometer. Mark my words - MACHINES ARE NOT THE ANSWER!!!!
I've setup and ran a Makino A99 and a 1210 for years as well as our A92 and multiple nx51's and 61's. We've buying Kitamura's as of late on verticals and horizontal. The Kitamura 800 is a beast.
titan ,maybe I am wrong ,but you forget explain people what you do in 2nd operartion ,You copy the first one ,change parameters and what is very important in opti rough,you use stock from 1st operation ,then the 2 nd tool see your earlier stock .Otherwise tool the tool would see a round stock Good job Titan
If I can't hear it buzz, that machine isn't working hard enough. Our stuff isn't capable of high-speed-machining stuff, but we're also not making aerospace parts, so we don't need that level of sophistication. Still, seeing a 3/8" mill rock around at 90IPM in aluminum is always fun.
Hey Titan, I just want you to know you inspired me to start a journey to getting certified in CNC Machining. I wish I lived closer to where you are at so I could experience machining in person. Thanks again for the great content
I took a mastercam class this semester and at the end we learned about 3D toolpathing(opti-rough) it seemed very similar to dynamic milling in the 2D toolpathing(a lot of runtime). Basically, how do you utilize these tool paths to not have excessive cut time?
excellent information.. thanks.. question >>> I am working with carbon and silicon carbide that require diamond bits.. are there diamond milling bits available on this amazing machine?
Love the Makino-Leblond machine....many years ago when I have my shop(late 80's early 90's) I was torn between the Makino and the Yasda....I chose the Yasda with the Fanuc 7M with a pallet changer....it was an awesome machine and even the President and owner of Yasda came to see the installed machine running....I'm a mold maker by trade and I wanted repeatability hold true position at .0005....really tight and the machine did it....just shy of jig grinding which we could of gotten the head for the machine but the chip dust would eventually damage the machine and that was not acceptable for us....
Titan, first off you are doing great things, your passion is contagious, keep pushing to make manufacturing great again. Could you expand on your choice of cutters on this part? Since we can't see the MRR when you program the part and understanding we want the fastest possible cycle time, why did you choose to go from a Shell mill to a Harvi Ultra8X, then to a 3/4 end Mill on the second side of the part? Why not use a shell mill and step down the cutter around the profile of the part like you are with the end mill, granted you might need a slightly smaller dia. cutter and a different shape insert, then do any tight corners and the slot with an endmill. I understand you want to showcase any new Kennametal cutter and show people what it can do. Do you consider the face mill and harvi ultra standard tools you keep in the machines? Why even use the face mill at all on the second side? There seems to be plenty of flute length on the Harvey 8x left that would cut the excess stock off, it seems like a pretty large reduction in cycle time. I guess you could use the face mill operation on the first side to maintain a standard max stock height if flute length is a problem.
Thanks man you are inspiring and also letting the public see that every thing we touch,eat,fly,drive, starts in the machine shop. My grandfather made springs for the war effort,my dad was a machinist and true craftsman with vision to see and solve engineering issues. I am as well as my son now are machinist. My dad and I would joke and say “have to people live without their own machine shop” lol. I miss him. I have that vision. I find it hard to believe that people just can’t imagine and see in the minds eye the part and instantly visualize the different ways to go after getting that part done. And have it come out right. Id like to get into cam more but i am small and my Kitamura is a 96 machine with almost no memory. Lol. Drip feed i hear is an option. Can you share some rough $ numbers on cutters, 150# pc of titanium and part prices, hours in shop. Just ballparks. You mentioned a million a month. There is that. Thank you again. Dana
Do you make a mild steel version before doing the titanium? Beautiful machine. I am a fitter machinist by trade and these machines were just coming out when i started my trade. I can see how far they have come. Oh, what part are you making?

Can't imagine the costs for all this cool stuff!
Any info on the piece that you are machining? What is it and what is it used for?
Titan, first off you are doing great things, your passion is contagious, keep pushing to make manufacturing great again.
Could you expand on your choice of cutters on this part? Since we can't see the MRR when you program the part and understanding we want the fastest possible cycle time, why did you choose to go from a Shell mill to a Harvi Ultra8X, then to a 3/4 end Mill on the second side of the part? Why not use a shell mill and step down the cutter around the profile of the part like you are with the end mill, granted you might need a slightly smaller dia. cutter and a different shape insert, then do any tight corners and the slot with an endmill.
I understand you want to showcase any new Kennametal cutter and show people what it can do. Do you consider the face mill and harvi ultra standard tools you keep in the machines?
Why even use the face mill at all on the second side? There seems to be plenty of flute length on the Harvey 8x left that would cut the excess stock off, it seems like a pretty large reduction in cycle time. I guess you could use the face mill operation on the first side to maintain a standard max stock height if flute length is a problem.
Thanks man you are inspiring and also letting the public see that every thing we touch,eat,fly,drive, starts in the machine shop. My grandfather made springs for the war effort,my dad was a machinist and true craftsman with vision to see and solve engineering issues. I am as well as my son now are machinist. My dad and I would joke and say “have to people live without their own machine shop” lol. I miss him.
I have that vision. I find it hard to believe that people just can’t imagine and see in the minds eye the part and instantly visualize the different ways to go after getting that part done. And have it come out right.
Id like to get into cam more but i am small and my Kitamura is a 96 machine with almost no memory. Lol. Drip feed i hear is an option. Can you share some rough $ numbers on cutters, 150# pc of titanium and part prices, hours in shop. Just ballparks. You mentioned a million a month. There is that.
Thank you again. Dana
I love this Makino!
Awesome man, just out of curiosity. what is your spindle load % on these cuts?
We have a similar machine in our shop just a few years older. With a 8% step over the spindle load barely moves, less then 5%.
The load looks pretty bad. The machine can take it but the bits will be trashed, if not break pretty fast.
Do you make a mild steel version before doing the titanium? Beautiful machine. I am a fitter machinist by trade and these machines were just coming out when i started my trade. I can see how far they have come. Oh, what part are you making?
The subic bay metropolitan authority in philippines was waiting for your academy branch...booom!!!! I hope this coming 2020...
Have you ever considered getting this part in a near net shape casting?
Got a question: Does the chuck need tightening between operations?
