5:51 he was wearing boots thats why he was taller than me just saying 😂 , jokes aside it was nice meeting you man i watch and listened to loads of your videos keep doing your thing man

@@Houcnc thank you very much sir! Pleasure meeting you!

BOOM!

Thanks for coming out man! See ya next year!

@@donniehinske love you Donnie

Thanks again for having us, it was an absolute blast and I'm already fired up for 2025!

Donnie, next time you are in Michigan, stop by and see us. We even got Chuck in front of the camera finally!

This is the same story I keep hearing. If it gets more people starting shops and growing North American manufacturing, it's nothing but a good thing.

Big time! Not included in the video (for runtime, or I didn't catch it on camera) were a LOT of guests / attendees who looked to be university / high school age - we should all be glad they're getting interested and excited about the trade!

Thank you very much for checking it out - and couldn’t agree more!

Awesome! Love it!👏

Fantastic!

For sure - I mean, I disagree with fixturing / toolpaths / tooling with a lot of the things I see out there - but at least their team is out there showing a way it can be done, and what's possible!

Thank you very much for all your hospitality sir - it was a pleasure!

You're not wrong - there's no platform like it for free out there, and I've genuinely had one of my own apprentices run the lathe program - it's good stuff.

Super inspiring, I agree! It definitely makes me want to do more as well!

Thank you very much for having us - it was great to meet you and get a glimpse into your incredible organization!

It was a pleasure to meet you sir, thank you very much for all the hospitality and opening your doors to us!

Thank you very much for checking it out!

Thank you very much sir!

Thank you very much for checking it out!

It was for me as well - I had no idea the amount of experience these guys have, but I suppose it should be apparent!

At this point I suspect that the partners are providing them as a promotional tool. I suspect (and I think Titan has said this in a video) that there are more than a few other companies that have offered to provide him machines. And I suspect that Doosan is completely happy with how this has worked out for them.

Definitely not paying for these machines and definitely not oatijg for the repair either 😅

BOOMBASTIC 2025 is looking like it’s going to be nuts if you can make the time!

Thank you very much!

Will take that and work to make videos that will help guys like you… Truth is, we post videos every day and have certified almost 18000 certs for free. We also just released our 5 Axis series and have a Swiss Academy coming out that touches on everything from the fundamentals to making real parts. It’s KZfaq and we run fast…. But I have a ton of shops that love it because they are running at 10% the speed and afraid that they are going to break tools… I always say, I run fast to open your mind to show you what is possible… show you that the earth isn’t flat… and that we can venture out to make money… real money.

It's definitely a bit of a shock for some, I'm sure - but I think where it's useful is seeing what's out there and what can be done. For example, we've been running short lots of this one assembly for a customer, and we've just been running it in the 3-axis mill out of barstock. Well, that customer now asked for a quote on a blanket order with thousands per year. Now, it makes sense to look at some of the workholding / machinery / automation / tooling that's been shown, as with work like that - running lights out and getting every second out of a cycle has a way more immediate return on investment with work like that, so it's handy to see what's out there.

You dont have the right mentality Banks want peoples with clear plans 500.000 euros CNC is nothin if the bank is sure you have jobs for millions Of course is not about your money but workshop money You are not Rich, the workshop will be a rich Place, your pocket will not levitate full of bucks 😂

I totally agree. Also most shops don't pay a fair wage and aren't nice places to work in.

​@@MG-sg2ci Yeah. That's something else that isn't really portrayed very well. Even when they do shop tours they tend to be super high end shops, or OEMs. Not every shop is like that. I've been in plenty that are like working in a small closet.

Exactly. The shop is unrealistic as hell. They can do it because it's all sponsored (ie. advertisements). A real shop doesn't get free stuff. If they were real and honest about teaching they would be showing how to use equipment that you're going to see in real life at a real job. Not rare stuff only a handful of people will ever see in their life. But you won't see that but you can't advertise a 20 year old mill.

You'll never guess

Pretty crazy eh! Cool stuff!

For sure, it's definitely an aspirational shop and aspirational content - but when I talked to Titan and the guys about things like speeds and feeds (I'm not going to blow a spindle trying to get every second out of a cycle I can) - he said that the real point is that if they run it at 1000 IPM full depth, while I probably can't do that - if you're currently running it at 40 IPM, you should feel perfectly safe dialing that up to even 80 IPM and half your cycle time - or even 200 IPM if you've got the right workholding. To me, it's more of a benchmark of what you can do if something calls for it - even if I can't translate a lot of it directly 1 for 1 into my shop due to some of the expenses involved.

HAAS might be trying to stay as a small company. If they make too much money then the company could end up out of their control. Not everyone wants to be successful in life

HAAS also stayed in California so you know they dont mind making less money and paying almost 50% taxes. It might not seem like a big deal but hanging out in cali is a big indicator that they dont mind scraping by as a company

If you prefer the longer-form style, there are plenty of tours here in that format to check out!

I think this is a BIG factor as well.

Tight tolerance GD&T, QA/QC, vibration analysis, stress/deflection of fixtures or workpiece.... all very tedious and boring to most people. I loved his earlier stuff, but would love to see him use his success to get someone knowledgeable on realistic "more boring" topics between the commercialized partnership ads once in a while. I am grateful he is sparking more interest in machining but realistic expectations are okay once in a while, too.

The Stones were ground flat from the factory.

​@@christophervillalpando5865 they were not!!!!! They were lapped on lapping machines!!! Lapped on cast iron lapping plate with too much of a large grit size slicion carbide!! I know how Tyrolit makes their stones very well because I installed a machine there some years ago!! I know they're process well. You need to grind the stone with a diamond wheel, not lap it with a giant grit silicon carbide powder.

@@christophervillalpando5865 This is a basic way how many of the stones are normally produced!! Tyrolit never understood what really is a precision flat stone. If their technologist held a proper set of flat stones in his hand he would understood. Tyrolit and Titan didn't do the most basic of market research. What dopes!

@@christophervillalpando5865 again the stones were lapped on a lapping machine but with a too large of a grit silicon carbide... it's absolutely basic step that almost every grinding stone producer makes

Blame me, the dumb ol' Canadian! Geography ain't my strong suit!

We haven’t been blocking any of your comments. KZfaq automatically blocks comments that don’t follow their guidelines.

Whose fault is that though?

I think one of the main things I see them doing really well is being able to get people outside of the industry interested in manufacturing, and thus helping get more people involved. Very important when we've had a massive age-out of skilled machinists and only a trickle of new blood entering the trade in the western world.

Which similarly priced, similarly equipped American machines would you have preferred?

​@iansandusky417 Go start with a TM-2P and a Phase Perfect! Everyone who is somthing of worth knows. The way sombody starts a shop is generally how they will build it! You just helped the enemy.... Instead of doing the work of assembling the best talent in our country to make an EVEN BETTER more versitile machine. Like a FLEX CNC but even more versatile! This makes me sad!

​@@iansandusky417 Yes! Go invent a even better machine... DO NOT parade yourself as the savior of manufacturing only to then support the ones who stole it in the 1st place!!!!!! Remove all usa branding from yours. "OR" Redeem yourself and do the unthinkable! Put out a even better machine that streamlines setups! Anything else is HOLLOW!!!!!!!!! I don't care if it is temporary or just for a 1 time deal... Don't Take The Easy Path! Always Take The Right Path!!!!! Make A Better Machine!!!! Stainless steel way covers... How bout NO WAY COVERS and a bridge mill design! Less parts heavier loads! RFID tool system.... Proprietary built in endmill sharpener for roughers! This is my design! Works like a tool probe...

Sorry, you feel that way. I actually pay huge taxes to the IRS (millions). I also pay my team very well… I am proud that I take care of my guys and can write this to you now with a clear heart knowing that they will read it. Have you seen CNCEXPERT.com? It’s a free platform that I have spent millions on to give free education to the world. Our app comes out in August. We have also certified 18,000 people or more like issued 18,000 certs. Each one has to be uploaded and inspected by my team before we reject it or accept it… all for Free. We have our regular Academy that keeps growing… just posted our 5 Axis Series recently… We also have the Aerospace Academy, Grinding Academy and this summer we come out with our Swiss Machining Academy…. Which is all Free and can be found at titansofcnc.com Yep, Free education is actually super expensive and you can’t just go get grants… So while everyone else talked about doing something and the need to do something… I actually went out and built something. I don’t like asking for money to fund free education… so I / we decided to build up distribution… to fund free education. I have been driving a nice car and taking trips since I was just solving problems for SpaceX and Blue Origin. I solve problems and make great money doing so… I always have. But now, I also teach millions how to do exactly what I do. I meet teachers and shop owners every day and they tell me stories of how they have changed their class or changed their company because of our videos… I love that and it gets me even more excited. Wednesday, I will be at Panerai… guess what, they didn’t pay me. I instead purchased one of their watches and fell in love with the technology. I then simply asked if I could show the world how they make their products… for free. At the end of the day, I started filming and making videos before KZfaq was even a thing… I created our TV Show to bring awareness to our trade and to inspire machinists around the world. Today, you would find it very difficult to find anyone who has done more for the advancement of advanced manufacturing that Titans of CNC. We have literally inspired hundreds of million and currently have 400,000 students registered on our Free Academy.

It's Swiss, German, Japanese components assembled in China. There are plans to bring even the assembly here to Texas.
