    Dude !!!!!! having watched 100's if not thousands of videos on machining over the last 14 years ,
    I think you have the best videos out there.......a heck of a lot of information in each one.....
    I really appreciate all the work you do......making these videos......as a pretty much self taught
    machinist, these are golden........Best Regards from an old guy in Florida, trying to be a young guy again, Paul

    The pull spring center punches I use more now than the auto center punch. I appreciate the tips.

    Not a full time machinist here, but someone who works on a South Bend manual lathe…it definitely still has a place. Especially still in niche areas like brass instruments with fine margins and fickle joints like from braise or solder. 👍

    CNC for production, sure. 👍🏻
    But manual machining will always be required for many applications.
    Repair and prototyping for example. As well as low part count production. Or second operations.

      I was hunting the comments to see if anyone had an opinion about that question asked…
      Really was hoping for more of a discussion on this, really had me thinking 🤔 on if it does? If so, could technically the “reasons” to saying Yes become obsolete in a practical/logical manner?!?
      No - Why?
      Yes - how far away could that be from happening?

    On a Haas lathe you can also use G74 / G75 for breaking plastic chips.

    Manual machining is best for prototyping and repair. Not usually fast enough for manufacturing.

    • @sjefleenaerts7277

      one man can run two machines even for small batches so I don't know if manual machining is still better

    Manual Machining is incredibly cheap for simple individual parts, so it does still play an important role up to today.

    • @OctaneWorkholding
      @OctaneWorkholding  6 місяців тому +1

      We are all just learning as we go. If longer form content starts getting some traction I plan to up the production value and do much more.

    A beat-up but still usable manual machine can be had for a couple hundred bucks, maybe a couple grand. Someone who knows what they're doing can do some amazing things with that, even if the machine struggles to hold tolerances. Compare that to a 30 year old CNC for still almost $10k, and no guarantees it can do much better. I'm solidly in the CNC camp, having done that most of my career. Heck, I manually machine on a CNC because it's faster. But if you only have a manual, you'd be surprised how much you can do. Even thread-milling tapered pipe threads on a manual mill

    The inner tube reduces chatter by introducing damping. There are other ways to do that.

    hey man, I've gotten into machining as a hobby. I'd like to find work as a machininst, but I haven't taken classes or workshops and stuff. At an old job I was a QC and I used to measure molds and parts carefully, and a crusty old tool maker taught me a thing or two.
    I'd like to get paid for some of this stuff ideally. Do you have any recommendations to get into a machine shop locally? Or any suggestions for a middle aged hobbyist....?
    I'm probably not going to retire or own a house, and I enjoy this stuff at least. Might as well at least enjoy what I do as a wageslave.

    • @phalanyx3478
      @phalanyx3478 6 місяців тому +1

      You dont need classes. Apply and say you want to learn and emphasize your experience with paperwork in QC. Shops need people outside of 1st shift and if you can become a setup guy/programmer. Shops really need more setup guys/programmers.

    Manual Machining sometimes is the only way for low volume work and repairs according to all the old school "tool and die makers". However after learning NC why should we ever use manual Machining when we can program a machine to do it for us? Alot of old processes in the shop I work in were effective but as all my elders taught me "work smarter not harder"!

    • @billmontgomery8900
      @billmontgomery8900 14 днів тому

      Also, the last machine in this video, is that considered a mill turn?

    • @dylanwalter1
      @dylanwalter1 10 годин тому

      An important thing to ask yourself as a new Machinist is how much effort will it take me? CAM is easier now then it's ever been, and if you're confident in your skills, programming a quick op may very well be faster than manual work. That same op might be easier and quicker for an oldhead to justify doing manually, but y'all might have different skill sets

    • @kugelblitz1557
      @kugelblitz1557 Місяць тому

      Yeah, depends on what for. For single simple parts I'll go back to the little Prototraks in the corner long as there isn't some funky curve on it. Even in the CNC machine, unless there's a thousand some parts I'll just find my height and do facing operations with the handle jog.
