My darts are 23g Red Dragon with "Nixy" engraved at the top of the barrel, long black stems and Martin Adams "Wolfie" flights from the man himself. Had them for a year and a half, love them to bits.
This is just FABULOUS...what a THRILL to finally see how what I have played so much of my life...how it is made!!! Thanks so very much for the "UP"...may God bless you for it !!!

The machine clamps very tightly onto the rod using a collet. The oil makes things slippery, but not slippery enough to stop the collet gripping. The oil is cooling the tool and part as well as lubricating the tool. If it was not there the tools would blunt quickly, overheat, and leave a rougher finish. Also it's not straight oil but a soluble oil mixed with water usually.
Wow, there's a lot more manual labor than I thought. I figured a robot would just take bar stock in and spit packaged darts out. I wish they wouldn't skip over the hard parts, like how they cut screw threads.
@OMBIC Liked your comment. BTW, you would not know of any website willing to sell darts and darts accessories, and prepared to ship overseas? My local shop is getting too expensive...! Many thanks & best regards. John
Wow! A lathe huh? I figured they just used an old chisel and hammer to sort of carve the darts out of discarded metal they found in the garbage. It's not like they need to be precise and exact right? By the way they're called flights not wings. There's another reason why serious players choose Tungsten darts, they wear far less than brass. That's important when it comes to the knurled grooves of the barrel getting a good grip on the fingers.
@douro20 Can't say I'm horribly surprised. He's one of my favorite narrators for the show, at least in North America. That is a lot of cash for a few hours of work though.
The threads are cut by the machine using taps and dies. How it's made is for people who don't understand or know about stuff. A dart can be handmade as good as a machine to exact sizes but a copy lathe is used. And no it's not a computerised lathe
Darts that expensive probably have their price driven up by several factors: -expensive materials -the cost of the actual machines making them (THEY ARE INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE) higher quality machines and processes require more money -special or custom designs need to be designed on a computer by a professional and then inputted into the machine to change the turning pattern -the costs of replacing the cutting tools when worn down -the cost of the cooling oil (disposal is expensive)
@magson87 But, she does call them Flights. She only calls them Wings at first, so that the un-educated can make the connection afterward. Admittedly, however, she does call them that late in the video...
The knurling took place just before the groove cutting,a double wheeled friction thing,wrong info bout groove cutting called knurling,knurling ss an x shaped push indentation.
See allot of Brass darts in shops, but the barrel is a big so when you get better its no good at all. Also really cheap, set of brass darts is €5 - €15.
@cadders123 Both spellings are acceptable. North America now uses -um while much of the rest of the world uses -ium. Check out the article at World Wide Words.
Thumbs up if you've ever impaled yourself with a dart showing off. 'Check me out guys, Under the leg and I'll get a bullseye!' 10 seconds later 'Where is the dart?' friend points at your leg. 'Mom.....'
Yea and the fools that buy expensive darts without practicing on a £36 set of decent quality made by dart pros first set of practice darts before jumping up to a better and heavier darts like phil taylor own gen 8 darts that cost £109 lol I think a cheap set of for £36 buy extra stems because you will break the plastic ones the more expensive ones have titanium stems that hold the flights better but at a cost
This VO is the best one that How It's Made ever had. I like the voice of this woman, and how she does the VOs.

My darts are 330 gram darts that there sail says FatCat
Riel de bonk holy fuck

I like the part when she says "shaft"
Dont forget the rod bahahahaha
Great video, love watching these type of clips :)
Did you see any green darts? ;)

We have been spoiled as a society by HD. I remember the 80s and 90s. This is how ALL tv shows looked
The length of the video is 5:01..... AWESOME!
sick drum beat.
i wish there was a video about making a DART BOARD
There's a video on UA-cam that shows how boards are made.
Just type in how a dart board is made and it comes up with how a puma dort board is made watch that vid

This is the greatest video i have ever seen
I just wanna know how they design and build these amazing machines!
God...the puns...they're giving me a mind freezie.

oh the tungstony
outstanding video
Now I want a dart and a dartboard
Mind blown 🤯
@Gappie Al Kebabi very cool 👍
This commentsection is just awesome :D
One Generation earlier enjoying this video ^^
If it takes a minute to make a dart, why is the video five minutes long? hug
If you are still active are you available to answer a few questions I have about this video?
Less than a minute for $$$$$$$$$
Wow, there's a lot more manual labor than I thought. I figured a robot would just take bar stock in and spit packaged darts out.

Really interesting video I liked it

Cool, how do they make the tips called Hammerheads no bounce darts?
holy shit, that machine at 1:00 looks like alienstuff right there
if i wassent liveing here and had sutch waight on my sholders, you would find me somewere out in the bush flinging darts and a cold one in the hand :)
Great video
Cool. Nice to know. Amazing bit of stuff

Gotta love the industrial tech.
SO MUCH LUBE !!!!
It all drips down to the bottom of the machine, collects in a sump, gets filtered and pumped back up through the sprayers again.
Remember a good set of Darts will give you unlimited entertainment. Oh .... No Arms.
Thanks for the video! I used this to create a power point about how darts are made for my engineering class.
Hope you got an A, even 8 years later
4:16 I'm gonna start collecting those :D
hashrulsubzero it’s 8 years on and how is your collection going
Good video!
I like how they cut these things
An infinite amount of entertainment
Wow. Cool to see how things are made.
I prefer plastic shafts though.
thats what she said
i watched my brothers hand get stapled to the board in a game of darts, i pissed my self laughing for about 10 minutes.
@BladeOfForsaken To lubricate the cutting tools. Metal gets danged hot.
brass or tungstien to create the barrel
@douro20 Can't say I'm horribly surprised. He's one of my favorite narrators for the show, at least in North America. That is a lot of cash for a few hours of work though.
the wings?
@littlestworkshop because its a capstan?
were can i get custom made flights from

That's for the steel tip. How about the soft 1??
Captain Teemo on duty.
Doesn't the oil makes the machine hard to onto the metal rod and slipping off?

SplodinCabbage
that was oil, not water. it is used for keeping the machines cool.
An infinite amount of entertainment? REALLY.
Is elkadart is the best darts company?
What machines are used to make a dart?????
cnc lathes
@DragonXero
And Zac Fine is one of the world's highest priced narrators. For some TV programs he could command nearly two million per episode.
thats fascinating
They still make brass darts? And people still use them???
Most beginners start throwing with brass darts lol.
I recently started and bought several brass barrels, to find out with which sizes, weights and shapes I feel comfortable with.
Kind of like 'bar darts' cheap darts bars buy so it doesn't matter if they break or go missing.
What metal is used on an official dart board? :)
"Now it's time to screw the shaft" WHAT DID SHE SAY!?!
I wonder how much a custom made one cost.... badly want a Harrows but in my own design
+Embcii Bee Not as much as you might think there are a few places that do them. Voks in the US are good.
Djarra thnx, but I want Harrows
i wonder if she made up all those great puns by her self
awesomee
I SHARPEN TOOTH-PICKS AND ATTACH A FEATHER ON THE OTHER END - I HAVE THROWN MANY MULTI-STAGE ROBINHOODS AT 100 (OR MORE) YARDS WITH THIS ARRANGMENT!
Sure you have. You couldn't throw a tantrum... 😂
so thats how darts are made
King Midas got some apparently
Prices are getting out of hand for some darts
@magson87 But, she does call them Flights. She only calls them Wings at first, so that the un-educated can make the connection afterward. Admittedly, however, she does call them that late in the video...
She sure liked saying the word shaft...and I didn't mind it
"That's what she said" Moments.. :P
Infinite amount of entertainment, yea!
I wonder what machines make those machines
the time it takes to make it is only part of the overall cost.
@55dpc sisal fibers, and darts whey all from 12grams to 40 grams
"the pros often prefer tungsten darts" - I can't think of a professional darts player that uses anything else.
+acidarrow Yeah, that's why they often use them?
My point was it was redundant to say "often". Pretty stupid point I know but I felt I had to make it.
It may be redundant to me and you, but other people watching might not even know that tungsten darts exist. Most think it's just brass.
Depleted uranium would be even thinner.
Gold darts.
Show off how dense you are with bling and uranium is less dense than tungsen as well
19.1 compered to 19.25
osmium, platinum or iridium
The knurling took place just before the groove cutting,a double wheeled friction thing,wrong info bout groove cutting called knurling,knurling ss an x shaped push indentation.
The Romans had darts ,throwing arrows ,they look exactly the same , but bigger
I'm not sure I've ever seen a dart that wasn't tungsten
Same
Kirk O'Bayne brass was first used n all darts now are pretty much tungsten
See allot of Brass darts in shops, but the barrel is a big so when you get better its no good at all.
Also really cheap, set of brass darts is €5 - €15.
Devo i like brass but as said the size of them
Brass darts are terrible
yeah she does say that!!!
Does anyone know the name of each machine? it's for my project about manufacture process
Thank You
did you ever figure it out? im interested also.
@cadders123 Both spellings are acceptable. North America now uses -um while much of the rest of the world uses -ium. Check out the article at World Wide Words.

Aluminum? Never heard of it.
Aluminium however..
You son of a bitch you're right, but North Americans typically call it Aluminum, even products are labeled as such.
Aluminum is a lighter version of aluminium, made with a special process that removes one i.
I don't have to love annything. Damn it !!!
I'd hate to think how my Harrows Oracle darts were made.
wow...useful info..i will remember to share at my next dinner party...
wings lol
@Jesus1229 Did you even watch the video?
Where does all the oil go O_e
Is there really a large enough market to make so many hundreds of thousands of flights that we see being produced in this short clip????
i feel like ive been ripped of..... DAMN YOU DART INDUSTRI
i came for the puns
it looks like the machine is giving birth >P
at the end it take less than a minut and u get endless play fun also a good set of thungsten darts cost you around 75 euros xdddd
+fabian arbouw What are you talking about? You can get a good set of tungsten darts for 15-20 euros.
Yea and the fools that buy expensive darts without practicing on a £36 set of decent quality made by dart pros first set of practice darts before jumping up to a better and heavier darts like phil taylor own gen 8 darts that cost £109 lol I think a cheap set of for £36 buy extra stems because you will break the plastic ones the more expensive ones have titanium stems that hold the flights better but at a cost
