Nice to see Titan himself back on the machine .

I once turned K500 on a Mazak. That stuff feels like tough chewing gum. When you rub your finger over the surfa e after turning, if feels smooth in the direction you turned, but grabs the skin if you go the other way. But it was a nice learning and experience

The toughest part of machining Inconel, Hastelloy, and Monel isn't just that the metals start off gummy, it's that they exhibit severe work hardening, particularly during machining - the tool bites into gummy, sticky material which then gets super hard before finally breaking off. 300-series stainless steel does this as well but it's not as gummy to start with and doesn't harden up as much as the nickel-based alloys. Case in point: a foundry I used to work at poured some Hastelloy C-22 castings that required mechanical property testing. We thought it would be okay to machine those test bars in-house just like we would with any carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel, putting them through our Puma just like we would any of those materials. The properties we got didn't quite make sense until we sent test material to an area contract laboratory. Their results were perfectly in line with expectations...because as I later found out, our machining process cranked the hardness up from the 180ish range on the Brinell scale to well over 400, whereas the outside lab using the right speeds/feeds/inserts/coolant kept the hardness down where it ought to be.

I used to manual machine monel when I was 18 as an apprentice. We made high end metrology equipment and there were all sorts of exotic materials used with a lot of Inconel due to its low coefficient of expansion, it helps control the stability of your measurements.

I work for G.E. Aerospace and we run inconel for the majority of our parts. Along with another material called rene. These go in jet engines for Boeing and Airbus. Love this industry!

Hey titan, I'vd love to see maybe 5 parts made and cnc'd on this machine checked by cmm to check the repeatibility of the machine. Thanks guys, love the content.

IDEA FOR A VIDEO: How about a machining competition between 5 of your top machinist? identical part, same machine, you could give points for, type of setup, speed, finish, tolerance, etc, only 1 stipulation, the part has to be for an actual customer, what do you say? are you up for this challenge? Love to see it!

Great display of what these SYIL machines are capable of! Super impressed. Looking forward to seeing more projects on these machines!

I want to see Titan take a field trip to the Army's Watervliet Arsenal, Watervliet, NY, where all the cannon barrels used by the US and all nations allied with the US are made. That shop makes 35-foot-long barrels for the M109A6 howitzer, and a cannon barrel MUST be laser-straight if you expect to hit anything with the weapon.

We machine inconel to make the stage 9 to 14 compressor blades in the RR AE2100 engines as fitted to the C130J on 30 odd year old fadal cnc mills.

I would want to see a print and QC report on tolerance but I’m pretty impressed with the little machine that could

We make Monel in our foundery and I machine the shit on equipment from the 1950s. All petrochem, blue origin and all that like you said. Crazy stuff.

The graphics are so awesome. Hats off to your editors!

Monel! The Stainless Steel of the first half of the 20th Century.. found naturally in Canada on the rim of a gigantic meteor crater. Nickle+Copper.. Oil and water... what a fascinating alloy. AND HEAVY

I’m not a machinist but this is like watching Rembrandt describing a masterpiece step by step as he creates it. Cool. Love to watch.

Monel K500 is a material we use at my work, I work for Lonestar fasteners Europe (American based, but for the European sector).. We use a good amount of "up there" materials Inconel 625 718 and 725.. Monel and K500.. Astalloy and waspalloy (or how it's spelt it's a rare sight) and tbh even the guy with 30yrs won't touch them if he can get away it.. Im 36 years old and a manual machinist on ward 3db and 7D lathes. We make specialty stuff for oil, petrochemical, gas, hydro power and turbines. It doesn't faze me that much of a material, once you've dialed in the speeds and hand pressure, I won't run it on auto feed on my machine the speeds are too much. I use carbide and carbide tip drills along with boring tools with high end strength tips and go with a steady hand pressure and absolutely drown the sucker in coolant, running 800rpm trying not to soak myself with off spray 😂 Good to see some hardcore material being ran, what you guys got planned next I wonder.. I'll be watching

this was nice to watch. Im not machinist,I studied for mechanical engineer but i worked as machinist for 6 months in Končar...greetings from Croatia

Had to machine K monel several times in the 90s. The shop i worked in was cheap when it came to buying the best tooling that was available then. Needless to say i was glad to see the last of that material

I like how Kennametal brings value to your business and in turn you bring value to their business by promoting the quality of their product.

It's not just the space industry. We use Monel in the food packaging industry. That cut sounds good, very good at higher feed rate.

The surface finish is amazing!!

Inconel and cobalt chrome are some of the hardest materials I've machined. Tool steel like A2&D2,cpm3v and cpm9v when i was in a die shop. Before and after heat treat. Sometimes the die didn't stamp out correct and i had to remove thirty thou here or there. Proper speeds and feeds are most critical on the hard materials. Tool selection,proper coatings important too. We use mostly SGS carbide. Harvey and micro tool carbides are good. The cheap hogmills off Amazon work pretty good too. For the price they're amazing. Accusize is the name I think. They will surprise you.

These machines were so awesome to see run! The power the SYIL has is amazing! Small but Mighty!!!

Definitely send like a plenty capable machine. Doing something it wasn't meant to, and still coming out like a champ.

I was about to pickup a used haas vf2 for my first machine but these have definitely caught my eye.

What a machine! Awesome demonstration on what these SYIL machines can do

Only have experience on a band saw cutting monel, 3 inch slugs were a 45 minute cut if you wanted it to cut straight.

Great ViDEO TITAN!

We used to do inconell 600 claded with steel. I know the pain. Lol, I wrote a macro with a button cutter to substantially increase feeds and reduce run times on 12 foot bars.

Pretty freaking awesome! 😎

I'm interesting in seeing the 5-axis version of the X7 or even the U5 in action

I thoroughly enjoyed this video! The harmonics of the machine sounded great, the tooling held up, the part looks like jewelry. Chef's kiss 👌

That surface finish came out looking nice!

Great video man

I would love to see more syile content want to get in the industry

I got a 6"/.25"/1.25". Made a Alaskan kitchen knife in san mai with monell 5000 as the cutting edge

Great video 👍

You guys gotta get your hands on some 5 flute helical solutions high performance chamfer tools. They are the real deal. 5 flutes top to bottom tipped off or sharp and they tolerance their tip diameters way tighter than the industry standard, so there is very little adjusting needed to do from tool to tool. I know you run Kennametal because of the brand deal, but seriously in this one niche they've got the pants beat off kennametal.

Outch. Awesome guys. Keep up. The informational Vids. 🗿🤫

I remember working with Hastaloy(Nastyloy) yrs ago, don't remember the grade. How does it compare with what you have here ?

But I'm looking at the load bar on the screen when I can and it looks really good all in the green!

I've been turning some copper nickel (monel 400 I think) Horrible stuff but get the right speeds and feeds and it runs silent

ja frezowałem Hardox extreame, robiłem otwory fi 83 w hardoxie extreme. teraz juz pracowałem ze wszystkimi materiałami nawet ze szkłem

I can't wait to get mine!

Nice looking machine. Im currently nearly finished with my aprenticeship and when i have the money i would probably buy this machine.

I told Keith to park an X7 next to a new Super Mini mill and see how they compare lol. Would be interesting. Obviously the Haas control is a major pro but inevitably guys that own these machines are going to start finishing the development on the Syntec side and make more of a polished control package. Really excited to see content on the X9.

Bro i machined some cpm 10v heat treated to 64 rockwell C. Nothing will eat tools like this stuff it's the highest wear resistant tool steel out there. Makes your monel look like butter.

Nice video !!!

Amazing video. Fantastic sales demo. He’s gonna sell some iron

seeing all the chips there, the metal is so compressed the chips expand like spring steel.

Thanks Titan, this certainly is an impressive demonstration of this Machines capabilities. Of course with your Master of Skills has alot to do with it.👍👍 The Harvy3 is impressive. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.

When machining various nickel alloys, it was always an exercise in adaption and disaster prevention.

I would be just as excited as Titan IF I owned one of these machines... IF I could afford one of these machines...... IF I made and sold parts using this machine and IF I just had my own parking spot here at the complex............ NICE work Titan !👍👍👍

Hmm are there shrink fits available for that size of toolholder? Is that sk30?

Nice video. BUT. I got all hyped up by Titan's videos, full depth of cut etc etc. On our BT30 machine (other well known brand) I machined a whole run of engineering steel in a period of a month. And surprise surprise, the taper bellowed out, and machine needed a new spindle! It sounded good, it cut well, parts came out good, was using new sharp high performance carbide cutters, plenty of higher concentration coolant etc etc. I was told to go back to manufacturers cutting tables...

Is there a thru spindle coolant option available?

would love to be able to apprentice with y'all now that you are local to DFW!

Worked in the oil industry for many years. I've seen many of what we call "Monel collars". 30ft long by 9" diameter with a 3" hole all the way through and fluted on the outside. You know they were hard because they always came out of the hole with very little wear and the area where the tongs bite was never chewed up like it was on normal drill pipe. Wonder how much it costs to machine those big dogs?

Have you heard of Vanadis 4 Extra superclean? I've macnined that material after hardening and it's hardness is 58-64 Hrc, where Monel K500 is 28-40 Rc.

Taking it back to USA one machine at a time! Thanks Titan.

what's the key player in the Monel K500 alloy cocktail as compared to the other common alloys

I like that you mentioned about listening to the cut. It tells more than any salesman of a cutter. On what's going on in the machine.

Was the part .0002 tolerance? Excellent footage!

Beautiful

I never thought much of this stuff. Try Aermet 340(hardened) and come back

Could you show off the machine's speed cutting 6061 aluminum

U UNBELIEVABLE

Looks good, ship it!🔥❤️

Wow men , those machines are Amazing , Lucky dog😊😅😮

Any info on the SYIL L2 lathe? I would love to get on a waiting list.

I just machined some poppet valves from Monel K500 for SpaceX on my Swiss (I know, it sucked). I’d been under the impression that K500 was more machinable than Inconel 718 which I’m making hex bolts out of now.

What do you guys do with the chips? Clean them and have them recast or send them off for someone else?

Boommmm😂 God Bless the Titans!

Duplex 2205 is pretty fun to cut. (Sarcasm)

That coolant looks real almond-milky, with our coolant oil milky is about the right look for a 12% mix with stainless. What oil and percentage are you running at??

Hey Titans... Have you tried SolidCAM iMachining? If yes, How do you guys compare it with MasterCAM. Would like to see a comparison video of Machining Titanium with both packages

Awesome stuff! Been working with copper a lot lately.. Going to recycle all those $$$$ chips?

Monel is tuff stuff i've machined alot of it

I noticed that you talk a lot about Aerospace parts. I worked for a company that main material was beryllium and albmet we wore all the necessary safety equipment. But I thought it might be interesting for people to understand the materials used in aerospace.

Wow. Great video sir .❤ End music name please 🙏

When it did those quick z axis moments with the drill there where a clapping sound. I assume that was the go pro that made that sound ? Just asking to make 100% sure

공구가 좋아보이네요

How does this material compare to hastelloy? I used to work in a shop that ran mostly stainless but also monel and hastelloy, I'm not sure what grade either of them were, but the hastelloy was significantly harder on the tooling. We made mostly hose barb fittings/couplings/valves for pure chlorine applications.

Are u using clear water for cooling?

Hi Titan, I'm not a machinist but have you ever tried machining heavy alloy tungsten? If so how do you compare it to Monel K50?

Impressive!

Been waiting on this video. Wasn’t let down. Hopefully my products take off soon so I can afford one of those. Really looking at the lathes they got too. Could have a pretty decent start up shop for a hundred grand.

I'm not afraid of that material. C6 casting is probably the hardest material to cut. I've cut titanium that has to replace the insert after every pass. Will say though, mill is much different than lathe. I would run any material fairly easily on a lathe, them it would go to mill, and all the problems would begin. I wasn't running the mill, so I'm sure it was a mix of machine and operator on the mill.

Hard iron hard metals and the skilled Machinist. That machinist is rare to find.

Like trying to machine industrial grade taffy. The part being cut looks like a pump core, if it's made out of this stuff that's gonna be mighty heavy duty. 😮

Is Monel and Inconel coolant type sensitive? I've always been beyond enamored by high level machining.

Do You have videos about Cryogenic machining?? This idea looks curiously

Wow! What is the tool made of?

Try machining yttrium. It sparks just from drilling it. 😁⚡🔥

Monel is used in valves by the navy also. What about stellite I was told only drill it with a disintegrator

Mill works easy, I make shafts out of the crap, not easy keeping runout under control on long 10 ft. shafts where most every dia. tolerance is +0/-.0005 with a 16 finish. I use a Daewoo Puma 400 CNC

Quando irão conhecer o TopSolid?

Machining Wisdom with Titan

How do you dispose of the "chips"? Is it just written off as waste, or can it be recycled?

Now do some Haynes 282. I head this stuff is a wild material and has some crazy properties
