As a draft checker/drawing reviewer that also have experience as a machinist I would say learn your GD&T well. Tolerance the important functional feature of your part, not features that mate to air. Take into consideration how the part will be manufactured and inspected. When you have the opportunity ask to join the procurement guys next time they’re visiting a supplier/workshop. If you have a prototype department, ask them how your drawings could improve. Most of the time they’ll make the part good enough or better than what the drawing said because they know what it’s for/can adapt adjacent parts in the assembly to fit. That’s nice and all, but the feedback they could have provided you with is lost. But when it’s time for mass production you may have 5 different suppliers for all the parts in the assembly, maybe even the same part from different suppliers. Then your drawings have to be as close to perfect as can be. That’s where their feedback early on in the prototype stage could be invaluable.

As a programmer/toolmaker, I suggest doing as much machining as you can in any environment to learn about capabilities of different machines, metallurgy, finishes, speeds and feeds, etc. It will help you greatly in designing components or processes.

100 percent need a machining background/ knowledge, to be a top engineer of course

My tip would be to become a machinist first and then get into engineering! Machinists were made so Engineers can have heros too!

Engineer here. If you want to be an engineer, go right into engineering. It’s extremely difficult and you need to get through that as soon as you graduate high school. You can do it at anytime but it’s so freaking challenging, it’s a lot better to hit the ground running early.

And move to Texas!

👍

Thanks Brother! Filming the other side right now

I finally got to make my first chip's on my manual mill. It was only cast iron but now I have chip fever. lol Someone gave me some titanium round stock I'm hoping to find a project for. One day I hope to make big chips like you Barry. Keep up the awesome work you guys are a huge inspiration to me.

Have you watched my testimony yet? Thanks for the comment and God Bless Brother!!! Titan

💯

Of course… God Bless Brother

Fantastic editing!

RESPECTFULL EDTING @@brandonkauffman1112

Amazing media crew 💪🔥❤

The open house is going to be EPIC!

Sorry bra, but with experience you defenitely know at least how a good cut sounds. Doesnt really matter what kind of material it is. And yes i said good cut... a perfect cut is something else and needs especially with materials as Titanium much more experience. But if you hear a bad sound you will not go on with the cutting , you will stop it and change the parameters.

@@dwertkwert4948 glad to see you know everything already and can’t gain more experience in anything 🙄

Thanks

I also used it for the bottom pockets and explained how I ramped in at 10 degrees.

Sorry I did miss that. You guys turned me on to the TE and when I found out that’s the tooling we were using for our vises in my apprenticeship, I took full advantage of what it can do to mill our pockets. 4140 steel, 3/8 end mill, full radial and 2xD. My program took just under 3 minutes and the guy I’m competing with as well as the teachers program were 48 min and 47 respectively. Blew their socks off

Right on!! And you should be representing 🔥 Thank you Bobby 💪 and enjoy touching gloves with the team!

@@shaniegust1225 Oh yes ma’am!! The new shirt is awesome as always!! Thank you ma’am!

Love that guy🤙

😜

Well I left the big money to focus on education and bringing awareness to our trade… But always was successful as a job shop… It’s funny though… We have built something that nobody else has in the world… and with that comes a unique value. This company is my impossible part… and every day I love pushing it to new frontiers. Thanks for the compliment

True, but it will still be held to parameters set forth by an inventor… and if that inventor isn’t the best machinist in the world… The Ai will always have someone better out there. Not faster, but yes… better

We have already and it’s on this channel… with 1800 videos, can’t remember what the name is😳🤣🤣

@@TITANSofCNC I will have a hunt, thanks. 🤩

TITANS is in Texas 🤠

Yep, you have to check op one and then recheck op one as a finished part… once the second op is done. You also have to be strategic in how you proceed. Meaning… If I know that the part is going to bow by .003 after the second op is done… and I have .005 for a total tolerance. I would make sure to keep the first side to .001 or less For a total of .004 Make sense?

We actually have a ton modeled but I don’t program as much these days… so I just speed through and spend the least amount of time in Cam as possible

It’s a prototype that I am doing just to teach on KZfaq. Thanks

It would have been great on a Heller but you still would have 2 ops… if there was more 4th and 5th axis work then yes… But the MYNX is a Bad Ass Powerful 3 Axis that costs much less. So I am enjoying getting it done on here.

@@TITANSofCNC I can only imagine what the price difference is. I think DN Solutions makes awesome machines! I’m so freaking jealous ! FYI I’m retired and sold the business to my sons but I still stay active. Just got awesome news. Modern Machine Shop is planing on doing a KZfaq of the shop in May. We’re small but still pretty cool. Sort of a job shop yet we have hundreds of repeat customer parts for years. 25 years ago I started a division with my own design performance motorcycle parts. Did great till the Chinese knocked us off. Can’t compete in that arena no matter what equipment I’d have had. Anyway Kudos for everything to do to educate. You’re #1 in my world !

Go to Titansofcnc.com and check out our different academies. We have thousands that follow and use our curriculum in the UK

Thanks guys will do loving you passion for the machines. Keep up the great work

Only way is to call the customer and ask for approval to place a thread insert into the thread

They make different ones for different applications like if you need to reach five inches down on a part from a five axis tilting 45 degrees it’s gotta be a long tool. It’s just what you need it for. But collets are relatively reliable

It’s automatic. Use the same style thread mill. Simply follow the same program. Drop to the bottom and start your upward helical move

@@TITANSofCNC Hi..but when you load the new thread mill into the collet how would you orientate it to the broken one pitch wise so you don’t end up with a double start thread ? Thanks for the reply love your content

Dude, you always have to 100% check threads on a part of this magnitude. I was just saying that if I am doing a thread with a major dia of .3125… and I know from experience that is I program it to that dia… the thread gage won’t go in… Then I will remember from past experiences that I had to comp the thread mill -.006 So, I will now, just automatically program it larger by .006 Which will give me a perfect thread the first time out.. Of course the thread mill can break down and create a bad thread. Not sure why I wasted my time on your comment but ya… easy stuff. No sense reinvent the wheel. Titan

Because there are camera cuts, it's an opportunity to call "bullshit". Bombastic as you are, you also seem to know your stuff so I would not be surprised if you could indeed nail a threadmill on the first attempt. With all the production, it's sometimes hard to know what's real and what's hollywooded up.@@TITANSofCNC

Thread milling is fast and safe…. If I am running hard or expensive materials… all thread mills. Easy stainless or aluminum… roll tap all the way

No… It’s a special fixture plate designed for CMM’s

Thanks.@@TITANSofCNC
