If only Titan could get on the Joe Rogan Experience. Joe has so many guests talking doom and gloom how all manufacturing jobs will be obsolete in ten years with no clue the ever dwindling base of us folks making things are flourishing. The fact there is a premium on intelligent hard working young people in this industry is a secret that needs to get out. I believe Titan is the man to facilitate the American Manufacturing Reawakening.
Disagree. As a young Australian toolmaker, I'm seeing first hand how the industry is being influenced, whether we like it or not. Technologies are advancing rapidly and its either adapt or be left behind. There will always be a need for job shops, manual machines and conventional CNC industry style business models, but things are going to be different for the majority of people in the industry come the next couple of decades. And Titan would definitely not be my first choice in facilitating the 'American Manufacturing Reawakening' bahahahaha.
One of the biggest issues I've helped fix in aerospace cnc shops all across the country has been standardizing EVERYTHING from tool lists, work environment, tool boxes at each machine, and waterjetting foam shadow box cutouts for every handtool in the workbenches. When spindles are turnin you're earnin! One thing I've learned in my years of machining and life... The sole purpose of working isn't to make money, money is a byproduct of creating value for your community. If you strive for excellence, follow your passions, and find your purpose in life ~ your life will be abundant~ BOOM!
you are soo generous! with your ideas on how to execute the standardization of this possible production project! wow! you really blow my mind on your knowledge sharing!
How about a video on getting started with CMM. I mean how would a small shop (not much money available) get started in metrology and be able to certify parts?
You can buy a used CMM and have it calibrated. You can also use your machine to measure parts. And slot of precision parts are made the best by knowing how to program good. A job only runs as good as the setup and program so profile part's without moving part so position and tolerance are as accurate as the machine.
Thanks for the great videos. I am a mechanical engineering student. My school lacks a good manufacturing program, so I have been using the Titan resources to gain insight into the industry. Many thanks.
I made those fittings out of inconel years ago at my old job for a big name aerospace company. It's some hard shit. Eats up turning inserts like you wouldn't believe. If you can go production on that at a low cost then hats off to you.
PRICELESS building blocks and basically " The Keys to the Kingdom ". Recognize that Titan is shortening the learning processes, for/to success... Epic gifts it took most of us 10 to 20 years to perfect on our own. KUDO'S brother, you are helping shape the direction for business and in reality... humanity, thank you! Seth
You talk a lot about the production, but beside your best neighbor - people want quality control on it. We need a new series on how to use calipers, micrometers, bore gauges, even CMM's and all. Call it "Printing money"!
Hi Titan, at about 9:00 you mention your strategy for the nozzles. Can you explain what you mean by boring the outside diameter? I understand ID boring. Unless you just meant using an endmill for the OD?
Thx, been in the field for about 6 years, just applied at a place jam packed with cnc machines and makes aerospace parts, hope it works out I love this field!
Love your videos Titan. The other thing you need apart from the processes is the equipment. And thats where I, for one, fall short. I wish I could find someone willing to give a 38 year old diesel fitter a chance.
Hey Titan, Ive been thinking alot lately about your videos and you're always asking for new video ideas. Most of your content is tailored for production, making 10-100k peices of the same part. Im wondering if you have any insight for the one off companies. The mold makers, the tool and die makers. People spending 30-60 minutes setting up, just to run a part once, tear down and do it again. Im thinking how can we take that efficient mindset of production and use it in a one part world. How can we cut down setup time even when every part varies by inches at a time while still maintaining accuracy to the tenths.
Andrew Leroux Where I work we do a mix of small production (100-500 parts) and one to five part counts. The production is usually recurring for established customers and the ones and twos are often not. I am convinced that we lose money on the small orders because the front office does not understand (and can not be made to understand) how much time and effort goes into tiny orders. If it wasn’t for the big “bread and butter “ jobs we would be out of business. Yes you can make money on small jobs if you quote correctly, but are there enough customers out there that are willing to pay you a realistic price? Especially when fools like us will do it for a lot less!
@@istvanmeissler2238 Right. But in mold making and tool and die there really is no repeat. If you did it well the one tool will go onto years of running and minor service to make millions of parts. The money is there but it's slow work
Its amazing how you can learn just watching 1 video . Im learning so much that i need to take notes 📝 and revise . Cant thank you enough bro ! Respect from UK 🇬🇧.
I've recently discovered some more fixturing elements that might be worth mentioning, spring plungers, grippers, and rest buttons. Making good fixtures that last is hard.
I absolutely love this channel’s content! You’ve definitely inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and be a better machinist! Knowledge...🅱️🔆🔆〽️‼️🇺🇸
For a guy just starting with a HAAS TM1P, I think think the part is feasible to be made in 3 ops. To get the right tolerances for for the Id’s you could probably use reamers. What are your thoughts?
Could you make a generic drawing of these types available? I'm thinking about starting a side gig garage shop, but it would be helpful to know what kind of tolerances and fixturing challenges I need to design for. Thanks!
I’m just not looking at those as Mill Parts. To me, it looks like a job for the NLX SY fitted with a 2 jaw chuck on the main, and a QC collet on the sub. jm02
What is measured using the CMM that is missed by the gauge pin? How do you know that the unit price is correct after having streamlined the process? You are illustrating going for the expensive, hard to make parts, streamline the process, do it in every material, and build confidence! I get it! Thanks for that! I met a gem cutter who targeted large stones so that he could command the high prices...making it worth his time.
Awesome vid, hanging on every word with extreme concentration. @TITANS of CNC: Academy ---> Dumb question: So these aerospace companies don't need to contract with ISO 9100 companies /manufacturers ? [Is it different for private start-ups vs gov' contracts ? what does ISO "Complaint" / ish vs. Certified really mean ? ]. THANKS !
You touch a good point Titan. I could design this part to be done in 7min and 37sec maybe 7min 42 sec. But like you said for this to happen the minimum order would have to be 1000parts per week per model with a contract that would guaranty 25thousand parts.
I would like to see how you go about machining graphite, carbon fiber and those types of materials. I am starting a job next week working with those materials and would like some numbers from you to bank for future use.
Have you done a video about how many employees you need minium to start a machine shop. Inspector, programmer, sales person, lead machinist etc.? Thanks
cover your quality control processes! Making a million of something is cool...but making a million parts that are all within spec...now thats REALLY cool
If I get the machine if I get the right if I get the right programmer you know that runs this machine very well I still don't know where to find the people who want us to make this part see Titan they know you so they just call you up but they don't just call me up so I have to go to them but I don't know how to find out who they are so that I can go and present what I can do how much am I can do it for and how fast depending on what their supply is that I can get it done that's where I find the problem at for me I've learned so much and God bless Titan for what he's doing and what he's putting in this industry because I'm a Craftsman no matter what when it comes down to it I'm not the biggest educated man and all the stuff like this but I've been a Craftsman all my life they don't mind if it's metal don't matter if it's wood there's no matter if it's needs a little bit of both whatever the Lord has blessed me just like a blessed Titan with what talents he's got the Lord has blessed me with those same kind of other talents to where I am a Craftsman I can do anything with my hands that I put my hands on I give God praise for it cuz I raised the family from it but I don't know if I ever and I might have missed it but I don't know if I ever hear from Titan where do you go to find the people that are wanting to pay you to make these parts because let's face it nobody builds a business without having to sometimes get out and beat the bushes and find the work it's the way it is I don't care what business you're in okay there's Roofing I don't care if it's Paving on Christmas putting in the driveway I don't care what it is sometimes you got to get out and beat the bush and drum up to work sometimes it don't pay off for months or even a year I've had people call back 2 years later say you had dropped the car off stop by my house one time you know couple years ago we just do it in the drawer and now we're ready so if I had any questions other than what I'm learning here obviously I want that took that to continue is how do you find a company's so you might set up a time to go meet them at least give him a call and so I didn't got your name but maybe one day of something comes up they can call and say hey we're in the need of something how do you find that company or those companies what do you look for to find those companies I'd love to see a video on that and I might leave another response to this kind of longer so my mind I read the whole thing too how do you find the companies for this kind of work
If I had an idea for a video I know I look for it all the time is how do you find the companies that want these kind of products made I mean nobody builds business without beating the bushes so you know putting in some shoe leather sometimes it's just the way it is so how do you find these companies I don't know who wants this part made if I get the machine and everything how do I find them so I can at least put my bid in and show them what I got and what I can do that's one of the biggest things that I've found as much as I'm learning here is finding the people how do you know who those are what companies are we looking for we just looking at a phone book here we just Google on them I'd love to see a video on some of that that would be great cuz I ain't going to do no good to build a business but you don't know who to talk to or who you're looking for to actually do the work who's who's selling this workout who are the people who are wanting this part made so they can you know do their part and sell the parts somebody else you know how it works
Numbers are numbers. Multiply times .03937, or divide. It's all the same. You take the prints your customers give you, make the parts, get paid. On to the next project.
but titan how do you know if your skill is good enough to make aerospace parts because you don't want to go into a company and tell them I can do aerospace parts and then when they send you prints you find out that you don't have the skill to make that part

Just turn to additive manufacturing
Joe couldn't care less about the working class. He would much rather union-busting Elon Musk on there talking about how no one wants to work nowadays.

Will it be awkward to ask for you linkedin id? I'd love to learn from your experience
Sure, but busting your ass in this industry without appropriate pay gets old very quickly.
you are soo generous! with your ideas on how to execute the standardization of this possible production project! wow! you really blow my mind on your knowledge sharing!
Titan thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to share this, and make people aware of that opportunity.
I love how you mention the materials used in the real world! aerospace industry! YAAASSS! keep it up! real applications! what this industry needs...
Incredible the level of knowledge that is shared. Quite literally setting you up for success.
Titan has amazing energy and intense focus.This guy is an inspiration for machinists and machine trade entrepreneur

Hi Titan, at about 9:00 you mention your strategy for the nozzles. Can you explain what you mean by boring the outside diameter? I understand ID boring. Unless you just meant using an endmill for the OD?

Titan, I'm working in a machine shop now. Still learning and working on the turning! Thank you!
Wow truly amazing . So thankful that your doing what you do.
Hi Titan,
In my company we make the same part, it's a lovely part to make.
BOUM

Cant thank you enough bro !
Respect from UK 🇬🇧.
Live all of these video's, you guus are awesome for uploading all this information!
Great video! Inspiring man...think you’re a great mentor.
I've recently discovered some more fixturing elements that might be worth mentioning, spring plungers, grippers, and rest buttons. Making good fixtures that last is hard.
I absolutely love this channel’s content! You’ve definitely inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and be a better machinist! Knowledge...🅱️🔆🔆〽️‼️🇺🇸
For a guy just starting with a HAAS TM1P, I think think the part is feasible to be made in 3 ops. To get the right tolerances for for the Id’s you could probably use reamers. What are your thoughts?
Sometimes these “T” or Elbows require a 5Ra finish on the inside, any experience with the super finishing?
Definitely get a great finish from the boring op and then polish
Your opinion on using a Haas DM with a TRT110 dedicated to this application?
What machines do I need in order to make those aero connectors?
Such as what models of tormach, haas, dmg mori?
From 9:00 to 9:20 "within tenth" is mentioned. A tenth of what? A tenth of a thousandth? 0.0001"?
Yes
Was this ever posted on the facebook pages? Because I cant find it and was wanting to read the comments their if there were any.
Not yet
Could you make a generic drawing of these types available? I'm thinking about starting a side gig garage shop, but it would be helpful to know what kind of tolerances and fixturing challenges I need to design for. Thanks!
I'm curious as to what type of meshurment and indication tools you and your team uses on the shop floor
If i'm not wrong the initial song is from " the men who built America" from History Channel
Would like a video of your lab. We use Zeiss CMMs and they work wonderfully
I’m just not looking at those as Mill Parts. To me, it looks like a job for the NLX SY fitted with a 2 jaw chuck on the main, and a QC collet on the sub. jm02

And or with orders of over 100k parts we could do it in just under the 3 min benchmark. With a price tag of 400$/hr for that specific machine.
Do u need another two hands to hold that piece with u sir???
glad you're introducing the parts to the community, but show the work holding. the real way to make these is with an indexing chuck on a cnc lathe.
I would like to see how you go about machining graphite, carbon fiber and those types of materials. I am starting a job next week working with those materials and would like some numbers from you to bank for future use.
A video on process capability would be good and why it's critical for production.
Also combining with gauge capability.
Thank you titan and team form india
Have you done a video about how many employees you need minium to start a machine shop. Inspector, programmer, sales person, lead machinist etc.? Thanks
Most machine shops ultimately just start with one or two people
Thank you for your videos.
Hi amazing videos , what is your advice for set up a small company?
cover your quality control processes!
Making a million of something is cool...but making a million parts that are all within spec...now thats REALLY cool
second
I would love to see a video on your favorite brands of machines tools etc.
Is the requirement of a CMM certified part ubiquitous across the aerospace industry? That is a major barrier to entry for many small shops.
You inspire me man, thank you!
How do you market this as a product?How to reach target audience?

Hey really appreciate you making these educational videos... It would be really helpful if you could make a video on how to use a boring bar TIA
Great idea there must be a thousand parts like that to specialise in 👍
Good stuff mate
Hi bro I'm from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India bro how can I get order for my CNC Machining Business from America & other Western Countries bro
Thanks.
If I had an idea for a video I know I look for it all the time is how do you find the companies that want these kind of products made I mean nobody builds business without beating the bushes so you know putting in some shoe leather sometimes it's just the way it is so how do you find these companies I don't know who wants this part made if I get the machine and everything how do I find them so I can at least put my bid in and show them what I got and what I can do that's one of the biggest things that I've found as much as I'm learning here is finding the people how do you know who those are what companies are we looking for we just looking at a phone book here we just Google on them I'd love to see a video on some of that that would be great cuz I ain't going to do no good to build a business but you don't know who to talk to or who you're looking for to actually do the work who's who's selling this workout who are the people who are wanting this part made so they can you know do their part and sell the parts somebody else you know how it works
How much revenue can be generated in cnc business?
How much is titan worth?
Some cnc companies are worth billions
thx titan.
But like... No threading or anything? Just bare?
Why o why isnt the world unified in the beautifull METRIC system :(
Numbers are numbers. Multiply times .03937, or divide. It's all the same. You take the prints your customers give you, make the parts, get paid. On to the next project.
The rest of the world is, it's just America.
Titan, we make the part you are holding out of 625 in 7 mins. Come see us.
No dislikes lets goooooooooooo
Good idea if you have $200,000 laying around not really realistic for machining startup.
but titan how do you know if your skill is good enough to make aerospace parts because you don't want to go into a company and tell them I can do aerospace parts and then when they send you prints you find out that you don't have the skill to make that part
Life is miserable for CNC machinists here in India....
