Hey guys! I've been machining for just over a year now and I love watching your videos. I'm finishing school as an engineering technologist and I currently work at a small manual machining shop. We have a single Doosan CNC and the guy using it retired. My boss knew I had an interest in CNC since I was always talking about it, so they asked me to learn how to use it. Long story short, I had to teach myself alot. Since watching you guys and using the titans academy I've gone from a complete newbie to speeding up their cnc process 10 fold over what the last guy was running the machine at. As a result I got a big pay raise and they couldn't be happier with me. I owe it to you guys and all of the info you put out there for us so even if i don't get the calipers I just wanted to give a massive thank you and I hope this gets to you guys!
I went from not knowing anything about tooling 3 years ago to now being the lead on our turret punch press line and head of the tooling department at our facility. Watching your videos and going through your academy has helped me out a lot. Thanks guys.
I just want to say how excited that I am to see so many people in this comment section that are new to machining. This is what our Country needs is to strengthen our machining capabilities and making sure that we have the knowledgeable workforce for it. I am 36 and I have been working on CNC machines to make Springs since I was 19. I am currently looking to make a move to CNC Mill and/or Lathe machining. Fortunately, I have found Titans of CNC Academy. I am looking forward to learning everything that I can from the Academy. I do not need the calipers because I have my own pair but I think that this is a awesome giveaway! God Bless you Titan!!
I work in the aviation industry and having precision tools is super important especially when measuring parts from engines and close tolerance fits. Keep up the good work detailing the machining process!!
Those LNS Quick Load bar feeders are nice! I work with LNS for all of the the lathes I currently run. As mentioned, it's important that barstock is filed on the edges (not everyone does this) and no chips are caught in the draw tube because it will shred those plastic spindle liners. A trick I do for lining up the holes of spindle liners... I'll put the torx through the hole of the liner, line it up with the screw hole of the draw tube and push the liner in. No need to eye ball the accuracy, the screw will fit in the first time! Best of luck to all those entering the contest! - Community Coordinator Titans of CNC
@@LNSNorthAmerica I had to share. I've worked with the LNS Eco Load, LNS Quick Load Magazine Bar Feeder, and the Quick Load Servo 80 S2. It was a unique experience working with diverse models dated 1995 (I believe) and on. They've taken on many hours doing high volume production, and are still going strong! I look forward to learning more about the LNS brand! I wish I knew more about the integration of bar feeder to CNC, awesome stuff (in my opinion.) - Community Coordinator Titans of CNC
I'm a self taught apprentice with just over 6mo experience, and I've already started programming our DNM and LYNX on my own. This week I made my biggest and tightest tolerance parts for a local underwater ROV company just like Titan always talks about. I'm just proud of myself and thought I'd share, but I wont say no to a set of mitutoyos!
I am cnc machinist and programmer in port Arthur, TX. Been in the business for about 11 years. I take care of a family of 4 and I'm the only one that works. Wife is stay at home mom that home schools the kids. With inflation, I can't afford to buy any new tools and I've always wanted these exact calipers in 6, 8 and 12. Be awesome if I won. I also watch every video of yalls and went through alot of the free online academy. Thanks for providing that. It's awesome!
Good morning manufacturing family. I’ve been in the trade for 16 years plus my whole high school career. It took me 16 years to make it 2 steps from the top I manage half a company and love every minute of it. I got a GREAT team behind me. I just want to get this straight, I don’t deserve the calipers. But I have a new guy that started 3 months ago not knowing anything about the manufacturing industry. In 3 months he’s made leaps and bounds he’s becoming a great machinist. He can operate inspect and change tools with out incident. He checks his dimensions in various was to stave off error and complacency. He had an old par of spi calipers that just are not up to the standard. So titan if there is one young man that deserves a great caliper for working his ass off it’s Ramond.
I was gonna comment about why I would like those calipers, but after reading your comment I can't. That is very awesome of you to think about your workers and care for them like that 🤙😉 You have my respect and I say Ramond deserves the calipers as well Titans of CNC 🤙
Ok after reading Dave D's comment, I also vote for Ramond!!! Now if you ever have a giveaway for a decent ID groove measuring thingy then please vote for me ok...!!! I've been looking for one for years now and haven't found a decent ID groove measuring tool. If you have any ideas where I could buy one that would be great.
Hello Titans I'm from Germany. I am sorry for my bad English but I need those calipers because I want to start my own machine shop and this is the perfect gift to start with 😊
I have been in this trade as a mill hand for about 14 years. I can run manuals, cnc's, horizontal and vertical milling machines. I love your videos because I truly love what I do and I want to learn absolutely everything I can about this industry and in my opinion no one does it better than y'all. I believe I deserve those calipers because I'm a single father and I work hard every single day to be able to provide my kids with the life I never had. And I am thankful for this industry for allowing me to be able to do that!
Been a machinist in Dallas/Ft.Worth for about 12 years now. Enjoy watching yalls videos about our industry and also seeing the high end equipment that’s available on our market. Also an ex convict like Titan, did 8 years from when I was 17 to 25, got into the industry and now this chosen career provides for my family and myself. Last reason, and most reasonably the best one….I’m local and don’t have to pay for shipping since I’m 10 minutes down the street. 😂
Thank the Algorithm that I found your channel! I know nothing about manufacturing but this inspires me to get creative and technical. I just got a new house with a garage. Those digimatic calipers will have a good home there.
I’m a 15 year old from BC canada. I do a lot of metalwork in my home shop, making knives and fixing things for my parents. Two years ago, I was looking for somehwere to buy scrap aluminum, and I met a local machinist. He took me to his shop and I worked for a few days with some old tormach 1100 he had there. It was the most inspiring experience of my life up until this point and I have since been working towards the requirements for a mechanical engineering degree. That aside, I have had a 20 dollar pair of calipers for a year and but now, and I lost them a month ago. They helped me make a lot of relatively precise projects, but having lost them, sets me back a little bit. A pair of mitutoyo calipers would always stay by my side in my future career, and I will always remember the way this channel has helped me find my calling, regardless of if you even see this comment.
I work in a small job shop. And my calipers got "calibrated" ( dropped on the floor) so many times it not only shows differences of 0.1mm and it randomly shuts off. Thank you and keep up the good work.
get an old worn down mechanical one for roughing and one you always place in it's packaging for precision i reused a scrap one with a bent depth gauge by straightening it
I work with exactly the same bar feeder since 10 years now, very great product..I watch your videos every Day..it's always a pleasure and thanks for the time you take for inform us
Took my hobby shop to my full time job last year after my real manufacturing plant closed its doors. It was a blessing in disguise and I thank god everyday for where he has taken me. Even though it’s 100+ hours a week to provide for the fam, i love every part of the journey and appreciate all the things you guys are teaching us! Thank you for everything! A pair of mitutoyo calipers would sure be an update to my hand me downs 😁.
Hi Titans! I am currently a student in my first year of earning my degree in CNC machining. Being in my late 20s with a full time job/responsibilities, it wasn't easy to return to school; however, I quickly realized it was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. It is all I can think about outside of class and I am eager to learn all I can in this field. The content you guys create along with the FREE academy is incredible and greatly appreciated. I use the resources almost every night! I would use these calipers in class and throughout my career. Thanks again, you guys rock!
26 year old single father of two. I've I've machine for 6 years now. No prior experience. Located in Columbus, Indiana I work for the job shop Touchdown Machining. I started out cranking handles on a few manual mills. Working my way through the processes of real precision manufacturing. Product reliability and quality assurance every customer deserves. Our shop has purchased a new haas vf4ss with a 5th axis rotary trt210. It's been a few weeks already and I can see the advantages of 3+2 already flourishing in my programs. Ready to dominate the competition and I appreciate the awesome videos can't wait to see more!
As a disabled Marine Vet, your videos really motivate me get up out of bed and out of the house and visit my buddies machine shop; learn and do something. I can be in a really bad mood because of my pain level, but watching your videos helps get my head back to where it should be. I'd use the calibers pretty much everyday if I had them, I currently own a cheap set, however, the guys at the shop let me use theirs if I need something better when I'm working
I'm a third year apprentice learning a lot, with programming, modeling, and machining, although our shop is not advanced as yours, I love watching you guys push manufacturing to the limit, it really broadens my horizon on what can be done in today's world and the near future.
I am a CNC machinist in Canada. Been doing this trade for almost a year now and loving it. You guys make the best CNC content on UA-cam, we appreciate you. Recently I had a customer come to my table and knock my caliper off my table....I cringed as I watched it fall. Thankfully it's still working, but a coolant proof model would be a nice addition to my tool box
I just started machining this year, and your videos have helped me so much in college. Your videos have shown me so many things that my school could never have, or any company in the area. I just got hired for the summer at a job shop, and I need to get better pair than my used SPI calipers. Thanks for posting such amazing content!
I go to work and grind every day. Your tools are what allow you to do the job that so many of us love. I can’t think of much else I would rather do. Machining parts is like being an artist to me. They is a great piece of art inside that piece of material just waiting to come out. I am fortunate that the place I work provides all the tools I need to do the job but of for some reason you read this and chose this post please give them to the next person that comments next. Thank you for all the great videos and knowledge.
I just recently graduated college at 36 with a manufacturing and design certificate so anyone can do it. This would be a great tool for anyone to use daily. I own a decent pair of calipers so I'm sure someone here could definitely use them more than me, I just wanted to say your videos hyped me up and kept me excited for school classes throughout my entire time. Thanks Titan and team!!
I'm a apprentice toolmaker that just had my calipers borrowed by someone and completely destroyed. And my company won't replace them so I have to find the cash to get a new set, money that I just don't have. I recently got into cnc work and discovered your channel and it's been a massive help. Win them or not, that you for everything you do for this community and for the help you have given me personally. You all rock.
I'd like to give em to my wife. She decided she really wanted to do something hands on, technical, something that really keeps the world turning so she got a job at the shop with me. Started as a sand blaster and has worked her way up to our Ona Sinker EDM Operator. She makes me proud and I'd love to give her a gift for moving into the position!
I'm not in the field but have always had a keen interest in all things machining and welding. I have a pretty well equipped home shop with manual lathe and mill, welders etc. I love being able to make what ever I need. That said, one could always use a decent caliper but.. there are folks on here that need it much more than I. They have families to feed and real parts to manufacture. Just wanted to let you folks to know how much I enjoy your videos and what you are doing to move manufacturing forward. It's too bad most folks have no clue how the things they use every day are made and about the folks that make them.
In my life I had only one job, in the company where I currently work - yes, we deal with cnc machining - I witnessed the development of this company from the very beginning,(almost 11 years ago ) I can confidently say that I am the best in this company, I deal with turning, milling, quality control on machines coordinate. A lot of what I have achieved (apart from my hard work) were your videos and tutorials. Thanks Titans!
Thank you for showing high production runs. I perform a lot of the high volume lathe work and would love to see more content like this. I learn something new everyday and love to push the limits to see what a machine can do.
I manage a Tool Engineering team for a major defense contractor. Love your videos and Titan's commitment to the manufacturing industry of the USA. I don't need the calipers, just wanted to comment that I'm in a complimentary industry and appreciate how you guys are taking it to the next level.
I’ve been a senior Maintenance technician for 3 years at a large machine shop. All of the technicians share the same calipers in a series of maintenance tool boxes and let me tell you, some people shouldn’t use them, and/or they are just never there when you need them. I go to school four days a week, working towards my bachelors degree in electrical engineering technology, and work three twelve hour days on the weekend. I also am a father too a one year old, so I watch her whilst my wife is working through the week before trading off with her to go to school in the evening. I could personally use a set of my own, accurate, reliable calipers to carry in my tool bag at work and to use at home for my fab and automotive ventures.
Good Morning guys. I am an 2nd year apprentice CNC machinest and started to love this trade right away. Especially milling conquered my heart. After work I started to learn CAD CAM on Fusion-360 and milled for example a Minion and other fun stuff. The guys in our apprentice workshop and production started to call me the crazy guy because of my speeds and feeds. By watching your videos and seeing what tools can do, I wanted to push our tools as well and it worked. Even some of the older guys were impressed what made me very proud. But in our apprentice workshop we only have cheap Holex Callipers, they like to by them because they are so cheap an many apprentices destroy them. So I'd like to have my own to get even better and work on high standard.
I'm a 30 year IT specialist trying to learn a new trade because I fell in love with machining and could surely use those really nice Mitutoyo calipers! Love the videos as always. Keep em coming. Much love and gratitude.
Yo! I got the same comment from the same guy. It looks like a scam from those spam bots. I don't know anything about Telegram though. Please let me know if you think it's legit.
I just won the apprentice award in Toronto Ontario because of your free academy learning guys. It will be sweet if I can use the caliper. Thank you guys
What i love most about your company is how clean the workshop looks....I' ve been in some nasty dirty workshops, floors drenched in oils, metal chips everywhere.....and if i offered to clean it up, even after hours, the boss always shut me down and told me to mind my own bussines. Not working on machining anymore but i'd make good use of a new set of calipers. The ones i have are old dial style but my eyesight is not what it used to be and I cannot see the needle anymore.
I am a cnc machinist / programmer for the past almost 30 years. I started before I graduated and have been doing it ever since. I’ve never had a set of the digimatic calipers. I’ve been watching your videos since before the school was setup in San Quentin prison. Some of your tips and tricks have really helped over the years. I really enjoy the content and look forward to the videos. Cnc machining has provided a life for my wife myself and my 2 boys
As a high school student who is working in a paid internship I think these would make a great addition to my tool box. Instead of going to school and sitting in a class bored I was provided the chance to go work out in industry. Thank you Titan for all the information you have shared that other companies wouldn’t dare share. It’s also a great upload time because I can watch a video on inspection before I clock in and use it in the field. Thank you for everything you do. BOOM!!
im an apprentice and grinding hard at work. But also i dont stop when coming home. I know the most important thing is the quality of my parts. Thats why a perfect mitutoyo caliber is really important for my future growth. Thanks for your teaching every day- keep it up
I'm a student from Germany watching your videos for years! I love the high quality and the enthusiasm!! Those calipers would be a really nice addition to the cheap one I use :)
Hi! I am a freshman college student working on developing and machining a rotary engine (~200cc). When working with tight tolerances in places such as the seals these would be super helpful. Also, just wanted to say thank you for all the tutorials on titans of cnc, I wouldn’t be making these parts myself if I didn’t have that resource.
Been working on three wire edms and now a swiss all day long for awhile now because we lost a guy at work. now i’m running between three machines and could really use a set calipers that are oil resistant and accurate to measure and keep at swiss. Thank you guys for providing great content keep going!!! right here in America
Your videos have reignited a passion in me to keep pushing for improvements. After a few decades in the industry, it's too easy to start to slide by with the "that's the way we've always done it" attitude. Thanks for that and keep the vids coming.
@@barrysetzer alright so it already happend to several ppl, please file a police report, if he redeemed any cards you send it would be possible for the company that sold the card to give the location and more info of the persone who redeemed it
The egg carton is a great way to store/ organize those parts. I could put those calipers to good use, I've been learning how to use a gun drilling machine that uses a pretty corrosive coolant solution that killed the (non coolant proof) mitutoyo calipers I've had since collage. Win or lose I love this channel and I appreciate everything titan and the crew have done to help me become a better machinist
My son is a senior in high school and he is headed to community college to become an aerospace technician. I teach history so I am not exactly sure what calipers do, but I can see they would be a nice graduation present. I like your channel. There is something relaxing about seeing a chunk of metal being shaved into something useful and often beautiful.
Hey guys! I’ve been machining for about four years now, and went from having zero experience to running parts and measuring well to setting up parts, and then doing program edits in my first shop. I now work in a medical machining shop where we also run car parts, and I’m now the supervisor/programmer. I love this trade and I wanna learn everything about it, I run CNC lathe, mill and Swiss style. Hopefully I can dabble in some grinding and other aspects. My goal is to always learn as much as I can, but one of my bigger goals is to be a pillar for my coworkers to look up to. I want to be someone that people can look up to and strive to try their best every day, because I am in need of someone like that. Thank you guys so much for your videos and keeping this trade alive. I strive to be on all of your levels someday. Thank you guys and God bless.
Hi im jelle 21 years old I am just starting to get in to serious cnc machining I build my first cnc on my own. And I am now restoring a fadal vmc 15 to get a more professional machine. I am following your channel for some time now always enjoy the content. Thanks for that.
I've been machining for over 10 years now, and I'm still having a blast. I love the creative process and making parts. I also enjoy pushing myself as a machinist to learn new techniques to improve the processes already established at my company to reduce machine time and increase production. My 8" Mitutoyo calipers have seen better days, as they've been generously "loved" on by myself as other previous machinists (I purchased them second hand). It would be nice to have something new to replace them, making my job easier going forward.
Hello, im a cnc machinist from canada and ive been in the trade for 3 years, ive been making great progress to becoming a good machinist, i took a pre-employment course and hopped straight in the field, its been a wonderful journey, my current employer helped me through alot of the hardest moments in my life including giving me time to visit my brother in the hospital, and after he got out after battling cancer for a year he passed away and my employer helped my with paid leave to attend the funeral and bereavement time for my mourning, ive truely never had a job where the employer has been so kind forgiving and thoughtful, after coming from a bad boss, this has been the best journey of my life so far, my calipers have recently been acting up so these would help me greatly, and make sure i keep making perfect parts fast and efficient.
I don't think I deserve those calipers more then anyone else here but I'd love to have them! I served 4.5 years in the Army as an EOD tech. When I got out of the military I took an entry level cnc mill job and my new career took off from there. I've been machining for about 10 years now. I'm currently working on an associate's degree in machine technology. I work during the day and go to school at night. When I get home I'm helping my wife take care of our beautiful children. I'm exhausted but I'm learning alot and hopefully putting in this extra work will pay off in the long run. Your videos are such an awesome resource for new and experienced machinists. You guys are doing great things! Keep it up!
My great uncle just passed away and he had manual lathe and mill that he used to repair steam engines. He left these machines to me but he used a ruler for measurements! I don't have great eyesight and I was about to place an order on McMaster to get a vernier caliper. I am 19 currently and excited to get into the world of machining.
I've been using bar feeders for years,I set Wickman 2.1/4 ìnch multi spindle autos and machined millions of parts for nasal,oil rigs,deep sea,fastener and mod,millions of wheel nuts for land rover and buses,j absolutely lovedcmy job until my job put pay to my future wifh a bad accident,thatx why I love watch you guys so much
Very nice straight to the point videos without drama. I've had my pair of Mitutoyo digital 6" calipers for 24 yrs now. Still use them and they work fine because I take loving care of them. I am a cnc machinist and wouldn't mind a new pair of calipers for work. Thank you.
Im graduating college in the next 5 weeks with a degree in Industrial Design with a specialization in manufacturing. I would be honored to receive these calipers because they will enable me to make better, more accurate parts. I mentor a high school robotics team and I am teaching them about how CNC manufacturing can change the way we build our robots. I work for my colleges makerspace and I routinely bring in team members to the space to expose them to these amazing machines that we have and show them that machining is an amazing profession and skill. I want to inspire the next generation of makers to make chips, hit those tolerances, and gain skills that will set them up for an amazing life. Thank you for doing everything you do! Titans of CNC has changed the way I see design problems and you have given me the desire to make amazing machines and parts for the rest of my life. Thank you for your consideration!
Hello! I'm a mechanical engineering student, and I have a passion for machining. I love doing design work and then fabricating the designs. My current pair of calipers is barely able to hold zero, plus or minus 1 thou so needless to say it's difficult to get the level of precision I need sometimes. I love mitutoyo, I've had an opportunity to use their calipers at a job and immediately fell in love. I also have a pocket scale from them that has served me well throughout my entire academic and machining career. Love the videos, keep up the good work!
Hello guys. I work in a company whose bosses save the most when buying cutting and measuring tools. I work with old and unserviced tools up to 20 years old. I believe that something new in the range would make my job much easier.Thank you for your content which is of great help to me (and I trust many others).
Saw my first CNC machine 3.5 years ago and fell in love with the industry. I used online resources such as Titans of CNC to learn as much as I could about the industry. Online resources only taught myself solidoworks and mastercam. I am now the night shift gm and just took over programming our molds. I would love the Mitutoyo Calipers to assist in making sure my molds come out perfect .
I work in the automation industry, dealing with tight tolerance parts and having quality measurement equipment is key for success. I love your videos keep up the quality content you are providing!
I need these calipers to give to one of my apprentices. This ladies been busting her butt to better herself and become the aircraft mechanic she's capable of. Keep up the good work guys, the contents always great!
Hey guys, I just started to learn how to machine at CNM and I'm in my second semester now. I love learning how to machine because it takes an idea that is intangible and gives you the ability to make it tangible. And the second biggest reason is that it provides me with the skills and knowledge to go out and be my own boss. I'm not a machinist with 10+ years under my belt, but I am someone who is trying to be molded by professionals to be as efficient as possible and deliver the best quality work that I can, and I believe the Mitutoyo calipers would help me with that.
I need these calipers because I am going to give them to my new apprentice. He shows the attitude and passion necessary to be successful and I'd like to reward that.
I’d love a new set of calipers! Been working 60hr weeks for about 4 months now. I’m the solo machinist in a small custom metal fab shop in west Michigan. Came into the job with no machining experience whatsoever, I’ve just got a proto trak 3 axis mill and a proto trak lathe but I’ve learned sooooo much from y’all’s videos. Whether I win the calipers or not, I very much enjoy the content, thank y’all a thousand times over for what you do.
I'd love those calipers as I am an engineering student. I am constantly trying to understand more and more about the manufacturing industry and these videos are helping tremendously. When I try to do projects at home, my current measuring devices just aren't cutting it and those calipers would be a huge asset
Almost done with high school and have been working in a job shop learning a lot. Once I finish high school I will be starting my first year of my apprenticeship and I could use a good caliper. Love this trade.
My brother recently aquired a Victor 2473 bed mill from a local guy that was retiring from the trade. The machine had a failed control computer and I took the opportunity to upgrade it to LinuxCNC. I converted the wiring from 3 phase to single phase because we are powering it off grid with a 12kw inverter. The project is not complete as I still need to program the spindle and limit switches but I have the machine following g-code smoothly and accuratly. I dream of being a machinist or a machine programmer as a way to provide for my family. These videos are inspiring and the information is priceless! A big thanks to Titan and the entire team, I would be honored to give that beautiful tool a home here in Kalapana, HI.
I implemented a macro program on our PUMA with a LNS bar feeder to be able to skip a bar pull to get the very last part out of the bar and avoid a long stub at the end of the bar. When the length of the parts increased we often found that we could get one last part off the bar. This macro program decreased our waste and made lights out machining more efficient.
I've always enjoyed machining from doing it has a hobby to professionally. At home i got a manual milling machine and a small hobby cnc that i play around with. So far over gotten away with i digital calipers which work ok. Thankfully I've never had to hold such tight tolerances that you guys keep at home but i learn a lot from your videos.
Thanks for the offer on the calipers. I switched careers a little over three years ago and recently received a certification in CNC. Currently, I am a CNC trainee in EDM and operating various Haas machines. Eventually, I want to learn programming and set ups. These calipers will be a God send. Thanks again for the offer.
Well I work at case New Holland. In Pennsylvania. I started there in October 2021 as an assembler. Before my 6 months where up I got moved up to the machine shop working in the tool crib getting tooling together for the machines. I am signed up to take CNH class to get me to a machine. My dream is to make it to the engineering shop for research and development on combines. I am a farm beloved that the combine is the hart of a farm. Bonus it's been my dream since 2006 to be a Machinist and we'll after 17 years of driving tractor trailers I'm in a position to do that. I watch you guys daily and y'all give me the drive and hunger to keep pushing to my goal. Plus if I don't win them there added to my Amazon cart any way. Keep up the awesome work guys love watching at work. "Keep it between the rows."
Hi Titans! I'm currently on my first year of school as a technician in mecanical engineering (I live in Québec, Canada) and I really could use those calipers. I've been religiously studying your videos for the day that I start to machine on CNC (currently learning conventionnal machining). I love the team, I love the message. I, myself, would like to make a difference in Québec. Regardless, keep up the good work. I sure'll be watching, thanks.
I just completed a CNC Operator and Programmer course and am now working in a Tool and Die shop running their CNC Mill and Lathe. These would help me ensure that the parts I make fall into the tolerances I need. May the best man win! Good luck folks!
I could use thes calipers to help with my manufacturing business. I'm currently in the startup phase and doing everything basically single handedly with the exception of a few friends and family on occasion. I am manufacturing complex UAV's and accurate measuring is crucial. It has been really tough for me at my level of capital to put together a shop, I had to save for a long time and doing things like building many of my own cnc machines and modifying manual machines to cnc retrofits has allowed me to get to where I am today. I'm always trying to find new and creative ways to grow my company and really could use any help I can get. Love your videos and have learned and applied a lot from titans of cnc. Keep up the great work and I'll continue to push forward.
Awesome prize and video. Truth is there are probably lots of other people out there who would deserve the calipers more than me. That said I would use them for two things. Professionally I would use them to QC parts and help me with my drawings. I'm just learning CAD and a proper set of calipers would be the backbone of my basic toolset. For fun I like to restore old cars and there are endless measurements that a cheap set of calipers just don't cut it. Whether I'm chosen or not I'll still continue to watch daily and learn more about CNC Machining. This channel has been and continues to be a priceless resource to my education. BOOM!
I watch every Titans of CNC Machining video and really appreciate a video like this that provides a lot of usable information in a short format. As for the calipers, I do not personally need or deserve them but if they were sent to me I would give them to one of our 2 paid Mechatronics interns that are working together on the Titan 1M.
I was just awarded the directors scholarship, one of the most prestigious awards given by the society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and Titans of CNC especially Mr. Titan himself has been a big part of what has motivated to purse a career in manufacturing and do everything I can to make a difference in this Industry with all of the skills that I have. I have also received an award from the Gene Haas foundation based on my experiences from designing and building my own CNC router to developing tooling and software to CNC machine braille. I don't mean to gloat or anything but CNC manufacturing has really been something that I have become passionate about and every day I think about what difference I can make not only from a technical perspective but the social elements of what mfg means to this country. BOOM!
I'm starting out in the wonderful world of CNC machining. I am learning as many tricks as I can to run my small CNC and FDM setup. Titans has been a great resource to learn (amongst other things) workholding and efficient tool pathing. A quality set of calipers will truly improve my design and creation of parts.
Hi! I’ve been using the academy to further my career and man has it helped! I simply want to thank you for all the information you guys put out, really thank you
I belive I deserve them working in CT at a smaller shop called Marion manufactureing we do metal stamping/forming and even drawn eyelets that is what I am involved in the most is our drawn eyelet tools. I am 7,000 hours into my tool and die apprenticeship working 6:00-2:30 and then 9:00-11:00pm everyday getting it done! Overnight production makeing parts lights out up to 13,000,000 a month on some jobs. I've built tools from start to finish and repaired old tooling sometimes tooling older than me(21 years old) also through your videos and school classes I've been trying to get more involved in the actual engineering and design process behind tooling. anyways would love to recive these calipers been a long time watcher of your content and love seeing the growth 👍👍👍👍
Hello I have just started my career in machining.I machine plastic.Few days back I had to drill a hole with 0.003 thou tolerance and I measured it with my calliper.After making 100 pcs I got to know by quality guy that it was out of tolerance.The reason was calliper.My calliper was off by 0.005 thou.That’s why I need new one.love your work titan.
Great initiativ too give away thoose calipers. I have the excact same at work, and love it, run a mazak 250msy with barfeeder, and the calipers is my most used tools. Could also need one at home as im currently building a cnc machine. Keep up the Great educational work titans :)
i'm a senior in high school about to graduate who has gone through 3 years of tech school at the moment and is in a co-op program giving me a kickstart to my career in this industry. I am currently doing a senior project which is making a fire eater engine that should be up and running soon. The calipers would be great to help a newbie on his way.
I deserve those Calipers because I legitimately haven’t missed a single UA-cam video that you’ve posted on this channel, I’ve watched all your shorts, I tell everyone I know in manufacturing about Titan and the academy, of course I’m subscribed, I comment on most of them, AND best of all: I’ve watched ALL of the videos and completed the tutorials on the Titans of CNC:Academy courses for both Fusion360 and Mastercam! If that’s not support and dedication to Titan and his team, i don’t know what is! 😎 BOOM! Keep up the wonderful content Gentlemen (and Nicole haha), we all appreciate it a ton!
Solo machinist/programmer at a small American business. My current calipers are old and tired. I'll use these to keep making top notch parts that sell around the world.
Our shop could use these calipers because we are putting in the work day in, day out to try to provide for the entire manufacturing ecosystem we're a part of here in Montana. We're offering both experienced machinists and newcomers to the trade the opportunity to join our team and strive for greatness! Just in the last month alone we've brought 3 new employees to the trade, and these guys would love a pair of awesome calipers to help support their journey. Thanks for all you guys do for the industry, Titans!
I’ve always wanted to learn how to cnc machine and have watched many of your videos. I’m currently a university student and took a cnc class but it just didn’t give me the hands on experience I was looking for. My senior project that I designed requires me to machine about 20 different parts, and I have learned so much in the past 2 months making the toolpaths and running the machine. My mentor recommended Mitutoyo calipers when I asked which ones I should get so these would be awesome!
I have that exact same bar feeder on my machine at work, it’s the best one I’ve used . I use it for 65-80 mm dia titanium mostly, it’s bang on. I like the mechanical stop feature on it too, useful for using as a backstop , great stuff as usual guys, keep em coming 🇬🇧
I have been working part time in a machine shop for a little over a year now and I am graduating from a trade school in May with an associates in manufacturing technology (focused on machining). Would love to have my own nice set of calipers. Love the videos, they get me so excited about manufacturing.
Next buy is a bar feeder for each of my two lathes. Now it's a bar puller only on each. Still great to have and works well. But I yearn for a bar feeder, and space to put them in. That's why I don't have one already.
@@LNSNorthAmerica Running out of room. 3000sq ft, SL-20, ST20ssy, 2 VF2ss, 2 VF3ss, Horiz production saw, vertical saw, manual mill, manual lathe & air compressor. Two material racks, Parts rack, shipping table & benches. Need neighbor or neighbors to move out. Side of one mill is 3 ft away on one lathe. I have to open window to load 48". Other backs up to a walk thru area.
Preparing to launch my shop within two years by converting a mini mill and lathe with centroid controllers at this very moment and a set of quality calipers would great addition to my quest and greatly appreciated. Currently working at an aero space facility and every way possible to accelerate my quest is monumental at this time. Along with all the knowledge that you share selflessly.
Hey Titans! I've only been machining for about 4 months now but already with the help of your videos, I've been able to make some neat 5 axis parts. I'd love to own that caliper because this is a job I can see myself doing for a long time. It would also allow me to do some more projects around the house!
Lights out machining is awesome! Long time follower and love what you guys are doing for the trade. I know longer own my own set of calipers due to a shop break in a couple years ago and the previous CEO failed to replace them. So these would definitely help me out running the shop. Keep up the awesome work guys!
Just before covid struck I lost my job. Too keep it brief, I've been unemployed since. Last year I decided that things weren't working out. I've been trying to get a new job, but couldn't get one. So, I needed a career change. I eventually came across the term CNC in passing. I later decided to look it up and soon stumbled upon this channel and have been watching since then. Right now I'm studying to become a CNC-operator. I've been studying hard and next week I will get to try and do some light programming on a CNC-machine which I look forward to. Right now, I don't really have any tools of my own and it will be a long while until that changes. A caliper, escpecially a digital one would go a long way.
Nobody needs this caliper more than the HIGH SCHOOL METAL SHOP INSTRUCTOR who endures the daily grind of trying to teach kids to think, behave, try, care, hope and dream about achieving higher than they want or thought they could; all with minimal support, rising costs and shrinking budgets. Cool tools help inspire students and give them a taste of today's ever-changing technology. Let's push some kids into this trade and bring manufacturing back to north america!
Hey guys! I've been machining for just over a year now and I love watching your videos. I'm finishing school as an engineering technologist and I currently work at a small manual machining shop. We have a single Doosan CNC and the guy using it retired. My boss knew I had an interest in CNC since I was always talking about it, so they asked me to learn how to use it. Long story short, I had to teach myself alot. Since watching you guys and using the titans academy I've gone from a complete newbie to speeding up their cnc process 10 fold over what the last guy was running the machine at. As a result I got a big pay raise and they couldn't be happier with me. I owe it to you guys and all of the info you put out there for us so even if i don't get the calipers I just wanted to give a massive thank you and I hope this gets to you guys!
I went from not knowing anything about tooling 3 years ago to now being the lead on our turret punch press line and head of the tooling department at our facility. Watching your videos and going through your academy has helped me out a lot. Thanks guys.
I just want to say how excited that I am to see so many people in this comment section that are new to machining. This is what our Country needs is to strengthen our machining capabilities and making sure that we have the knowledgeable workforce for it. I am 36 and I have been working on CNC machines to make Springs since I was 19. I am currently looking to make a move to CNC Mill and/or Lathe machining. Fortunately, I have found Titans of CNC Academy. I am looking forward to learning everything that I can from the Academy. I do not need the calipers because I have my own pair but I think that this is a awesome giveaway! God Bless you Titan!!
I work in the aviation industry and having precision tools is super important especially when measuring parts from engines and close tolerance fits. Keep up the good work detailing the machining process!!
Those LNS Quick Load bar feeders are nice! I work with LNS for all of the the lathes I currently run. As mentioned, it's important that barstock is filed on the edges (not everyone does this) and no chips are caught in the draw tube because it will shred those plastic spindle liners.
A trick I do for lining up the holes of spindle liners... I'll put the torx through the hole of the liner, line it up with the screw hole of the draw tube and push the liner in. No need to eye ball the accuracy, the screw will fit in the first time!
Best of luck to all those entering the contest!

@@LNSNorthAmerica I had to share. I've worked with the LNS Eco Load, LNS Quick Load Magazine Bar Feeder, and the Quick Load Servo 80 S2. It was a unique experience working with diverse models dated 1995 (I believe) and on. They've taken on many hours doing high volume production, and are still going strong!
I look forward to learning more about the LNS brand! I wish I knew more about the integration of bar feeder to CNC, awesome stuff (in my opinion.)

I'm a self taught apprentice with just over 6mo experience, and I've already started programming our DNM and LYNX on my own. This week I made my biggest and tightest tolerance parts for a local underwater ROV company just like Titan always talks about. I'm just proud of myself and thought I'd share, but I wont say no to a set of mitutoyos!
I am cnc machinist and programmer in port Arthur, TX. Been in the business for about 11 years. I take care of a family of 4 and I'm the only one that works. Wife is stay at home mom that home schools the kids. With inflation, I can't afford to buy any new tools and I've always wanted these exact calipers in 6, 8 and 12. Be awesome if I won. I also watch every video of yalls and went through alot of the free online academy. Thanks for providing that. It's awesome!

Good morning manufacturing family. I’ve been in the trade for 16 years plus my whole high school career. It took me 16 years to make it 2 steps from the top I manage half a company and love every minute of it. I got a GREAT team behind me.
I just want to get this straight, I don’t deserve the calipers. But I have a new guy that started 3 months ago not knowing anything about the manufacturing industry. In 3 months he’s made leaps and bounds he’s becoming a great machinist. He can operate inspect and change tools with out incident. He checks his dimensions in various was to stave off error and complacency. He had an old par of spi calipers that just are not up to the standard.
So titan if there is one young man that deserves a great caliper for working his ass off it’s Ramond.
I was gonna comment about why I would like those calipers, but after reading your comment I can't. That is very awesome of you to think about your workers and care for them like that 🤙😉 You have my respect and I say Ramond deserves the calipers as well Titans of CNC 🤙
Ramond has my vote!
For raymond!
I vote for this guy
Ok after reading Dave D's comment, I also vote for Ramond!!!
Now if you ever have a giveaway for a decent ID groove measuring thingy then please vote for me ok...!!!
I've been looking for one for years now and haven't found a decent ID groove measuring tool.
If you have any ideas where I could buy one that would be great.
Hello Titans
I'm from Germany. I am sorry for my bad English but I need those calipers because I want to start my own machine shop and this is the perfect gift to start with 😊
I have been in this trade as a mill hand for about 14 years. I can run manuals, cnc's, horizontal and vertical milling machines. I love your videos because I truly love what I do and I want to learn absolutely everything I can about this industry and in my opinion no one does it better than y'all. I believe I deserve those calipers because I'm a single father and I work hard every single day to be able to provide my kids with the life I never had. And I am thankful for this industry for allowing me to be able to do that!
Been a machinist in Dallas/Ft.Worth for about 12 years now. Enjoy watching yalls videos about our industry and also seeing the high end equipment that’s available on our market. Also an ex convict like Titan, did 8 years from when I was 17 to 25, got into the industry and now this chosen career provides for my family and myself. Last reason, and most reasonably the best one….I’m local and don’t have to pay for shipping since I’m 10 minutes down the street. 😂

Thank the Algorithm that I found your channel! I know nothing about manufacturing but this inspires me to get creative and technical. I just got a new house with a garage. Those digimatic calipers will have a good home there.
I’m a 15 year old from BC canada. I do a lot of metalwork in my home shop, making knives and fixing things for my parents. Two years ago, I was looking for somehwere to buy scrap aluminum, and I met a local machinist. He took me to his shop and I worked for a few days with some old tormach 1100 he had there. It was the most inspiring experience of my life up until this point and I have since been working towards the requirements for a mechanical
engineering degree. That aside, I have had a 20 dollar pair of calipers for a year and but now, and I lost them a month ago. They helped me make a lot of relatively precise projects, but having lost them, sets me back a little bit. A pair of mitutoyo calipers would always stay by my side in my future career, and I will always remember the way this channel has helped me find my calling, regardless of if you even see this comment.
I work in a small job shop. And my calipers got "calibrated" ( dropped on the floor) so many times it not only shows differences of 0.1mm and it randomly shuts off. Thank you and keep up the good work.
If you drop your calipers on a regular base, you don't need expensive ones.
You need magnet gloves.
get an old worn down mechanical one for roughing and one you always place in it's packaging for precision
i reused a scrap one with a bent depth gauge by straightening it
I work with exactly the same bar feeder since 10 years now, very great product..I watch your videos every Day..it's always a pleasure and thanks for the time you take for inform us
Took my hobby shop to my full time job last year after my real manufacturing plant closed its doors. It was a blessing in disguise and I thank god everyday for where he has taken me. Even though it’s 100+ hours a week to provide for the fam, i love every part of the journey and appreciate all the things you guys are teaching us! Thank you for everything! A pair of mitutoyo calipers would sure be an update to my hand me downs 😁.

Hi Titans! I am currently a student in my first year of earning my degree in CNC machining. Being in my late 20s with a full time job/responsibilities, it wasn't easy to return to school; however, I quickly realized it was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. It is all I can think about outside of class and I am eager to learn all I can in this field. The content you guys create along with the FREE academy is incredible and greatly appreciated. I use the resources almost every night! I would use these calipers in class and throughout my career. Thanks again, you guys rock!
26 year old single father of two. I've I've machine for 6 years now. No prior experience. Located in Columbus, Indiana I work for the job shop Touchdown Machining. I started out cranking handles on a few manual mills. Working my way through the processes of real precision manufacturing. Product reliability and quality assurance every customer deserves. Our shop has purchased a new haas vf4ss with a 5th axis rotary trt210. It's been a few weeks already and I can see the advantages of 3+2 already flourishing in my programs. Ready to dominate the competition and I appreciate the awesome videos can't wait to see more!

As a disabled Marine Vet, your videos really motivate me get up out of bed and out of the house and visit my buddies machine shop; learn and do something. I can be in a really bad mood because of my pain level, but watching your videos helps get my head back to where it should be. I'd use the calibers pretty much everyday if I had them, I currently own a cheap set, however, the guys at the shop let me use theirs if I need something better when I'm working
I'm a third year apprentice learning a lot, with programming, modeling, and machining, although our shop is not advanced as yours, I love watching you guys push manufacturing to the limit, it really broadens my horizon on what can be done in today's world and the near future.

I am a CNC machinist in Canada. Been doing this trade for almost a year now and loving it. You guys make the best CNC content on UA-cam, we appreciate you. Recently I had a customer come to my table and knock my caliper off my table....I cringed as I watched it fall. Thankfully it's still working, but a coolant proof model would be a nice addition to my tool box

I just started machining this year, and your videos have helped me so much in college. Your videos have shown me so many things that my school could never have, or any company in the area. I just got hired for the summer at a job shop, and I need to get better pair than my used SPI calipers. Thanks for posting such amazing content!
I go to work and grind every day. Your tools are what allow you to do the job that so many of us love. I can’t think of much else I would rather do. Machining parts is like being an artist to me. They is a great piece of art inside that piece of material just waiting to come out. I am fortunate that the place I work provides all the tools I need to do the job but of for some reason you read this and chose this post please give them to the next person that comments next. Thank you for all the great videos and knowledge.
I just recently graduated college at 36 with a manufacturing and design certificate so anyone can do it. This would be a great tool for anyone to use daily. I own a decent pair of calipers so I'm sure someone here could definitely use them more than me, I just wanted to say your videos hyped me up and kept me excited for school classes throughout my entire time. Thanks Titan and team!!

I'm a apprentice toolmaker that just had my calipers borrowed by someone and completely destroyed. And my company won't replace them so I have to find the cash to get a new set, money that I just don't have. I recently got into cnc work and discovered your channel and it's been a massive help. Win them or not, that you for everything you do for this community and for the help you have given me personally. You all rock.
I'd like to give em to my wife. She decided she really wanted to do something hands on, technical, something that really keeps the world turning so she got a job at the shop with me. Started as a sand blaster and has worked her way up to our Ona Sinker EDM Operator. She makes me proud and I'd love to give her a gift for moving into the position!
Love this! That’s awesome Derek 👍
@@shaniegust1225 hope it's a good enough reason lol I'll even make a video surprising her! :)
I'm not in the field but have always had a keen interest in all things machining and welding. I have a pretty well equipped home shop with manual lathe and mill, welders etc. I love being able to make what ever I need. That said, one could always use a decent caliper but.. there are folks on here that need it much more than I. They have families to feed and real parts to manufacture. Just wanted to let you folks to know how much I enjoy your videos and what you are doing to move manufacturing forward. It's too bad most folks have no clue how the things they use every day are made and about the folks that make them.
In my life I had only one job, in the company where I currently work - yes, we deal with cnc machining - I witnessed the development of this company from the very beginning,(almost 11 years ago ) I can confidently say that I am the best in this company, I deal with turning, milling, quality control on machines coordinate. A lot of what I have achieved (apart from my hard work) were your videos and tutorials. Thanks Titans!

I manage a Tool Engineering team for a major defense contractor. Love your videos and Titan's commitment to the manufacturing industry of the USA. I don't need the calipers, just wanted to comment that I'm in a complimentary industry and appreciate how you guys are taking it to the next level.
I’ve been a senior Maintenance technician for 3 years at a large machine shop. All of the technicians share the same calipers in a series of maintenance tool boxes and let me tell you, some people shouldn’t use them, and/or they are just never there when you need them. I go to school four days a week, working towards my bachelors degree in electrical engineering technology, and work three twelve hour days on the weekend. I also am a father too a one year old, so I watch her whilst my wife is working through the week before trading off with her to go to school in the evening. I could personally use a set of my own, accurate, reliable calipers to carry in my tool bag at work and to use at home for my fab and automotive ventures.

Can anyone verify that this is the real deal?
Good Morning guys. I am an 2nd year apprentice CNC machinest and started to love this trade right away. Especially milling conquered my heart. After work I started to learn CAD CAM on Fusion-360 and milled for example a Minion and other fun stuff. The guys in our apprentice workshop and production started to call me the crazy guy because of my speeds and feeds. By watching your videos and seeing what tools can do, I wanted to push our tools as well and it worked. Even some of the older guys were impressed what made me very proud. But in our apprentice workshop we only have cheap Holex Callipers, they like to by them because they are so cheap an many apprentices destroy them. So I'd like to have my own to get even better and work on high standard.

What i love most about your company is how clean the workshop looks....I' ve been in some nasty dirty workshops, floors drenched in oils, metal chips everywhere.....and if i offered to clean it up, even after hours, the boss always shut me down and told me to mind my own bussines.
Not working on machining anymore but i'd make good use of a new set of calipers. The ones i have are old dial style but my eyesight is not what it used to be and I cannot see the needle anymore.
I am a cnc machinist / programmer for the past almost 30 years. I started before I graduated and have been doing it ever since. I’ve never had a set of the digimatic calipers.

Hi! I am a freshman college student working on developing and machining a rotary engine (~200cc). When working with tight tolerances in places such as the seals these would be super helpful. Also, just wanted to say thank you for all the tutorials on titans of cnc, I wouldn’t be making these parts myself if I didn’t have that resource.
Been working on three wire edms and now a swiss all day long for awhile now because we lost a guy at work. now i’m running between three machines and could really use a set calipers that are oil resistant and accurate to measure and keep at swiss. Thank you guys for providing great content keep going!!! right here in America

The egg carton is a great way to store/ organize those parts. I could put those calipers to good use, I've been learning how to use a gun drilling machine that uses a pretty corrosive coolant solution that killed the (non coolant proof) mitutoyo calipers I've had since collage. Win or lose I love this channel and I appreciate everything titan and the crew have done to help me become a better machinist
Good luck!
My son is a senior in high school and he is headed to community college to become an aerospace technician. I teach history so I am not exactly sure what calipers do, but I can see they would be a nice graduation present. I like your channel. There is something relaxing about seeing a chunk of metal being shaved into something useful and often beautiful.
Hey guys! I’ve been machining for about four years now, and went from having zero experience to running parts and measuring well to setting up parts, and then doing program edits in my first shop. I now work in a medical machining shop where we also run car parts, and I’m now the supervisor/programmer. I love this trade and I wanna learn everything about it, I run CNC lathe, mill and Swiss style. Hopefully I can dabble in some grinding and other aspects. My goal is to always learn as much as I can, but one of my bigger goals is to be a pillar for my coworkers to look up to. I want to be someone that people can look up to and strive to try their best every day, because I am in need of someone like that. Thank you guys so much for your videos and keeping this trade alive. I strive to be on all of your levels someday. Thank you guys and God bless.
Hi im jelle 21 years old I am just starting to get in to serious cnc machining I build my first cnc on my own. And I am now restoring a fadal vmc 15 to get a more professional machine. I am following your channel for some time now always enjoy the content. Thanks for that.
I've been machining for over 10 years now, and I'm still having a blast. I love the creative process and making parts. I also enjoy pushing myself as a machinist to learn new techniques to improve the processes already established at my company to reduce machine time and increase production. My 8" Mitutoyo calipers have seen better days, as they've been generously "loved" on by myself as other previous machinists (I purchased them second hand). It would be nice to have something new to replace them, making my job easier going forward.
Sir how to i claim
@@vsoza7934 it’s a scam, please don’t reply, they are asking for postage money
Hello, im a cnc machinist from canada and ive been in the trade for 3 years, ive been making great progress to becoming a good machinist, i took a pre-employment course and hopped straight in the field, its been a wonderful journey, my current employer helped me through alot of the hardest moments in my life including giving me time to visit my brother in the hospital, and after he got out after battling cancer for a year he passed away and my employer helped my with paid leave to attend the funeral and bereavement time for my mourning, ive truely never had a job where the employer has been so kind forgiving and thoughtful, after coming from a bad boss, this has been the best journey of my life so far, my calipers have recently been acting up so these would help me greatly, and make sure i keep making perfect parts fast and efficient.
I don't think I deserve those calipers more then anyone else here but I'd love to have them! I served 4.5 years in the Army as an EOD tech. When I got out of the military I took an entry level cnc mill job and my new career took off from there. I've been machining for about 10 years now. I'm currently working on an associate's degree in machine technology. I work during the day and go to school at night. When I get home I'm helping my wife take care of our beautiful children. I'm exhausted but I'm learning alot and hopefully putting in this extra work will pay off in the long run. Your videos are such an awesome resource for new and experienced machinists. You guys are doing great things! Keep it up!

Very nice straight to the point videos without drama. I've had my pair of Mitutoyo digital 6" calipers for 24 yrs now. Still use them and they work fine because I take loving care of them. I am a cnc machinist and wouldn't mind a new pair of calipers for work. Thank you.
Im graduating college in the next 5 weeks with a degree in Industrial Design with a specialization in manufacturing. I would be honored to receive these calipers because they will enable me to make better, more accurate parts. I mentor a high school robotics team and I am teaching them about how CNC manufacturing can change the way we build our robots. I work for my colleges makerspace and I routinely bring in team members to the space to expose them to these amazing machines that we have and show them that machining is an amazing profession and skill.
I want to inspire the next generation of makers to make chips, hit those tolerances, and gain skills that will set them up for an amazing life. Thank you for doing everything you do! Titans of CNC has changed the way I see design problems and you have given me the desire to make amazing machines and parts for the rest of my life.
Thank you for your consideration!
Hello! I'm a mechanical engineering student, and I have a passion for machining. I love doing design work and then fabricating the designs. My current pair of calipers is barely able to hold zero, plus or minus 1 thou so needless to say it's difficult to get the level of precision I need sometimes. I love mitutoyo, I've had an opportunity to use their calipers at a job and immediately fell in love. I also have a pocket scale from them that has served me well throughout my entire academic and machining career. Love the videos, keep up the good work!
Hello guys. I work in a company whose bosses save the most when buying cutting and measuring tools. I work with old and unserviced tools up to 20 years old. I believe that something new in the range would make my job much easier.Thank you for your content which is of great help to me (and I trust many others).
Saw my first CNC machine 3.5 years ago and fell in love with the industry. I used online resources such as Titans of CNC to learn as much as I could about the industry. Online resources only taught myself solidoworks and mastercam. I am now the night shift gm and just took over programming our molds. I would love the Mitutoyo Calipers to assist in making sure my molds come out perfect .
I work in the automation industry, dealing with tight tolerance parts and having quality measurement equipment is key for success. I love your videos keep up the quality content you are providing!
@titangilroy is this what I am suppose to do to claim my prize?
I need these calipers to give to one of my apprentices. This ladies been busting her butt to better herself and become the aircraft mechanic she's capable of. Keep up the good work guys, the contents always great!
Hey guys,
I just started to learn how to machine at CNM and I'm in my second semester now. I love learning how to machine because it takes an idea that is intangible and gives you the ability to make it tangible. And the second biggest reason is that it provides me with the skills and knowledge to go out and be my own boss. I'm not a machinist with 10+ years under my belt, but I am someone who is trying to be molded by professionals to be as efficient as possible and deliver the best quality work that I can, and I believe the Mitutoyo calipers would help me with that.
I need these calipers because I am going to give them to my new apprentice. He shows the attitude and passion necessary to be successful and I'd like to reward that.
I’d love a new set of calipers! Been working 60hr weeks for about 4 months now. I’m the solo machinist in a small custom metal fab shop in west Michigan. Came into the job with no machining experience whatsoever, I’ve just got a proto trak 3 axis mill and a proto trak lathe but I’ve learned sooooo much from y’all’s videos. Whether I win the calipers or not, I very much enjoy the content, thank y’all a thousand times over for what you do.
I'd love those calipers as I am an engineering student. I am constantly trying to understand more and more about the manufacturing industry and these videos are helping tremendously. When I try to do projects at home, my current measuring devices just aren't cutting it and those calipers would be a huge asset
Almost done with high school and have been working in a job shop learning a lot. Once I finish high school I will be starting my first year of my apprenticeship and I could use a good caliper. Love this trade.
My brother recently aquired a Victor 2473 bed mill from a local guy that was retiring from the trade. The machine had a failed control computer and I took the opportunity to upgrade it to LinuxCNC. I converted the wiring from 3 phase to single phase because we are powering it off grid with a 12kw inverter. The project is not complete as I still need to program the spindle and limit switches but I have the machine following g-code smoothly and accuratly. I dream of being a machinist or a machine programmer as a way to provide for my family. These videos are inspiring and the information is priceless! A big thanks to Titan and the entire team, I would be honored to give that beautiful tool a home here in Kalapana, HI.

Thank you! I sent an email with my contact info. :)
I need these because I'm going to CNC school this fall and just found your channel and your online classes! I'm happy I found y'all as a resource!
I implemented a macro program on our PUMA with a LNS bar feeder to be able to skip a bar pull to get the very last part out of the bar and avoid a long stub at the end of the bar. When the length of the parts increased we often found that we could get one last part off the bar. This macro program decreased our waste and made lights out machining more efficient.
I've always enjoyed machining from doing it has a hobby to professionally. At home i got a manual milling machine and a small hobby cnc that i play around with. So far over gotten away with i digital calipers which work ok. Thankfully I've never had to hold such tight tolerances that you guys keep at home but i learn a lot from your videos.
Great video Travis! So easy to follow, really like the way you present!
Thanks Shanie!
Thanks for the offer on the calipers. I switched careers a little over three years ago and recently received a certification in CNC. Currently, I am a CNC trainee in EDM and operating various Haas machines. Eventually, I want to learn programming and set ups. These calipers will be a God send. Thanks again for the offer.
As i have started to learn on your academy this will help me go down to another level of being accurate.
Well I work at case New Holland. In Pennsylvania. I started there in October 2021 as an assembler. Before my 6 months where up I got moved up to the machine shop working in the tool crib getting tooling together for the machines. I am signed up to take CNH class to get me to a machine. My dream is to make it to the engineering shop for research and development on combines. I am a farm beloved that the combine is the hart of a farm. Bonus it's been my dream since 2006 to be a Machinist and we'll after 17 years of driving tractor trailers I'm in a position to do that. I watch you guys daily and y'all give me the drive and hunger to keep pushing to my goal. Plus if I don't win them there added to my Amazon cart any way. Keep up the awesome work guys love watching at work. "Keep it between the rows."

Hi Titans! I'm currently on my first year of school as a technician in mecanical engineering (I live in Québec, Canada) and I really could use those calipers. I've been religiously studying your videos for the day that I start to machine on CNC (currently learning conventionnal machining). I love the team, I love the message. I, myself, would like to make a difference in Québec. Regardless, keep up the good work. I sure'll be watching, thanks.

I just completed a CNC Operator and Programmer course and am now working in a Tool and Die shop running their CNC Mill and Lathe. These would help me ensure that the parts I make fall into the tolerances I need. May the best man win! Good luck folks!

I could use thes calipers to help with my manufacturing business. I'm currently in the startup phase and doing everything basically single handedly with the exception of a few friends and family on occasion. I am manufacturing complex UAV's and accurate measuring is crucial. It has been really tough for me at my level of capital to put together a shop, I had to save for a long time and doing things like building many of my own cnc machines and modifying manual machines to cnc retrofits has allowed me to get to where I am today. I'm always trying to find new and creative ways to grow my company and really could use any help I can get. Love your videos and have learned and applied a lot from titans of cnc. Keep up the great work and I'll continue to push forward.
Awesome prize and video. Truth is there are probably lots of other people out there who would deserve the calipers more than me. That said I would use them for two things. Professionally I would use them to QC parts and help me with my drawings. I'm just learning CAD and a proper set of calipers would be the backbone of my basic toolset. For fun I like to restore old cars and there are endless measurements that a cheap set of calipers just don't cut it. Whether I'm chosen or not I'll still continue to watch daily and learn more about CNC Machining. This channel has been and continues to be a priceless resource to my education. BOOM!
I watch every Titans of CNC Machining video and really appreciate a video like this that provides a lot of usable information in a short format. As for the calipers, I do not personally need or deserve them but if they were sent to me I would give them to one of our 2 paid Mechatronics interns that are working together on the Titan 1M.
I was just awarded the directors scholarship, one of the most prestigious awards given by the society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and Titans of CNC especially Mr. Titan himself has been a big part of what has motivated to purse a career in manufacturing and do everything I can to make a difference in this Industry with all of the skills that I have. I have also received an award from the Gene Haas foundation based on my experiences from designing and building my own CNC router to developing tooling and software to CNC machine braille. I don't mean to gloat or anything but CNC manufacturing has really been something that I have become passionate about and every day I think about what difference I can make not only from a technical perspective but the social elements of what mfg means to this country. BOOM!
I'm starting out in the wonderful world of CNC machining. I am learning as many tricks as I can to run my small CNC and FDM setup. Titans has been a great resource to learn (amongst other things) workholding and efficient tool pathing. A quality set of calipers will truly improve my design and creation of parts.
i Just finished machining school and started working in the indutry love the vids keep it up
Hi! I’ve been using the academy to further my career and man has it helped! I simply want to thank you for all the information you guys put out, really thank you
I have been working in this trade for over 40 years manual and CNC machines. The calipers will give me something to play with when I retire!!!!!

I belive I deserve them working in CT at a smaller shop called Marion manufactureing we do metal stamping/forming and even drawn eyelets that is what I am involved in the most is our drawn eyelet tools. I am 7,000 hours into my tool and die apprenticeship working 6:00-2:30 and then 9:00-11:00pm everyday getting it done! Overnight production makeing parts lights out up to 13,000,000 a month on some jobs. I've built tools from start to finish and repaired old tooling sometimes tooling older than me(21 years old) also through your videos and school classes I've been trying to get more involved in the actual engineering and design process behind tooling. anyways would love to recive these calipers been a long time watcher of your content and love seeing the growth 👍👍👍👍
Hello
I have just started my career in machining.I machine plastic.Few days back I had to drill a hole with 0.003 thou tolerance and I measured it with my calliper.After making 100 pcs I got to know by quality guy that it was out of tolerance.The reason was calliper.My calliper was off by 0.005 thou.That’s why I need new one.love your work titan.
Great initiativ too give away thoose calipers. I have the excact same at work, and love it, run a mazak 250msy with barfeeder, and the calipers is my most used tools. Could also need one at home as im currently building a cnc machine. Keep up the Great educational work titans :)

i'm a senior in high school about to graduate who has gone through 3 years of tech school at the moment and is in a co-op program giving me a kickstart to my career in this industry. I am currently doing a senior project which is making a fire eater engine that should be up and running soon.
The calipers would be great to help a newbie on his way.
I deserve those Calipers because I legitimately haven’t missed a single UA-cam video that you’ve posted on this channel, I’ve watched all your shorts, I tell everyone I know in manufacturing about Titan and the academy, of course I’m subscribed, I comment on most of them, AND best of all: I’ve watched ALL of the videos and completed the tutorials on the Titans of CNC:Academy courses for both Fusion360 and Mastercam! If that’s not support and dedication to Titan and his team, i don’t know what is! 😎 BOOM! Keep up the wonderful content Gentlemen (and Nicole haha), we all appreciate it a ton!
Thank you Titan for what you're doing you're helping a lot of people
Solo machinist/programmer at a small American business. My current calipers are old and tired. I'll use these to keep making top notch parts that sell around the world.
Our shop could use these calipers because we are putting in the work day in, day out to try to provide for the entire manufacturing ecosystem we're a part of here in Montana. We're offering both experienced machinists and newcomers to the trade the opportunity to join our team and strive for greatness! Just in the last month alone we've brought 3 new employees to the trade, and these guys would love a pair of awesome calipers to help support their journey. Thanks for all you guys do for the industry, Titans!

I’ve always wanted to learn how to cnc machine and have watched many of your videos. I’m currently a university student and took a cnc class but it just didn’t give me the hands on experience I was looking for. My senior project that I designed requires me to machine about 20 different parts, and I have learned so much in the past 2 months making the toolpaths and running the machine. My mentor recommended Mitutoyo calipers when I asked which ones I should get so these would be awesome!
I have that exact same bar feeder on my machine at work, it’s the best one I’ve used .
I use it for 65-80 mm dia titanium mostly, it’s bang on.
I like the mechanical stop feature on it too, useful for using as a backstop , great stuff as usual guys, keep em coming 🇬🇧
I have been working part time in a machine shop for a little over a year now and I am graduating from a trade school in May with an associates in manufacturing technology (focused on machining). Would love to have my own nice set of calipers. Love the videos, they get me so excited about manufacturing.
Next buy is a bar feeder for each of my two lathes. Now it's a bar puller only on each. Still great to have and works well. But I yearn for a bar feeder, and space to put them in. That's why I don't have one already.
@@LNSNorthAmerica Running out of room. 3000sq ft, SL-20, ST20ssy, 2 VF2ss, 2 VF3ss, Horiz production saw, vertical saw, manual mill, manual lathe & air compressor. Two material racks, Parts rack, shipping table & benches. Need neighbor or neighbors to move out. Side of one mill is 3 ft away on one lathe. I have to open window to load 48". Other backs up to a walk thru area.
Preparing to launch my shop within two years by converting a mini mill and lathe with centroid controllers at this very moment and a set of quality calipers would great addition to my quest and greatly appreciated. Currently working at an aero space facility and every way possible to accelerate my quest is monumental at this time. Along with all the knowledge that you share selflessly.

Hey Titans! I've only been machining for about 4 months now but already with the help of your videos, I've been able to make some neat 5 axis parts. I'd love to own that caliper because this is a job I can see myself doing for a long time. It would also allow me to do some more projects around the house!
Lights out machining is awesome! Long time follower and love what you guys are doing for the trade. I know longer own my own set of calipers due to a shop break in a couple years ago and the previous CEO failed to replace them. So these would definitely help me out running the shop. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Just before covid struck I lost my job. Too keep it brief, I've been unemployed since. Last year I decided that things weren't working out. I've been trying to get a new job, but couldn't get one. So, I needed a career change. I eventually came across the term CNC in passing. I later decided to look it up and soon stumbled upon this channel and have been watching since then. Right now I'm studying to become a CNC-operator. I've been studying hard and next week I will get to try and do some light programming on a CNC-machine which I look forward to.
Right now, I don't really have any tools of my own and it will be a long while until that changes. A caliper, escpecially a digital one would go a long way.
Nobody needs this caliper more than the HIGH SCHOOL METAL SHOP INSTRUCTOR who endures the daily grind of trying to teach kids to think, behave, try, care, hope and dream about achieving higher than they want or thought they could; all with minimal support, rising costs and shrinking budgets. Cool tools help inspire students and give them a taste of today's ever-changing technology. Let's push some kids into this trade and bring manufacturing back to north america!
