CNC Machining FAST - You Have it WRONG - Vlog #43

[@xmaswitguns]

I’m just happy to learn from someone who wants to teach. For so long all info was treated like top-secret, to the detriment of the trade.

[@jimazmachining6313]

Im all for learning, but its a double edged swors. Techniques/methods is something that gives small business and big for that matter the edge over others. They've takin time to be learned and handed down from generations and to just give them away to especially foreign competitors is atrocious. Im all for learning, but keeping American ingenuity in America is a national security issue down to keeping small businesses afloat. Keep it up Titan your great, would be interested in hearing your point of view on this subject.

[@paytonrogers5323]

Thank you so much well said so shortly

[@TomZelickman]

You hit the nail on the head when you said people started judging before they had watched the whole content. You're showing a process so folks can apply the same methods to finding the sweet spot on their own machines, with their own work holding and tooling. Love what you are doing, sir. Grateful for the knowledge you share! - Tom Z

[@Wikato]

I have to laugh, because nobody had the trust in me as I said turning and milling inconel718 with 1200m/min is possible. I did it! It wasn’t the limit, but now you know what’s possible! Good guy.

[@lumpy2080]

I absolutely love your attitude! I't a hobby for me but you just keep your viewers enthralled and interested!

[@audiecravy]

Titian what you are doing is such a wonderful thing. I hope this testimony will make this fact clearer to your younger viewers. Forty eight years ago as a Nineteen year old starting a two year Manufacturing Technology degree program, I too was falling in love with machining. Information in 1973 came in drops, not the ocean of info. we now have. As luck would have it, one of the hand full of books about Machining that the school library had was a book about the Physics of Chip Formation. Over the next two years I turn to this book hundreds of time. Although the math was, and still is above my head. The text and illustrations were easy to understand. From the earliest chips I made up to today I am thinking; shear plane, chip-tool interface temperature, friction, and geometry. Understanding that finding the "sweet spot" is changing the physics to the cutting tool advantaged. Thank you for your work.

[@thegreatmechanizedape8262]

thank you, Titan. you are doing incredible things. anyone saying you can't do it is just upset when they see someone doing what they thought was impossible and didnt have the confidence to do themselves. all you can do is keep being you and hope they see through the haze of pride and pain and let the light you cast shine on them.

[@LearnSomethingHelpful]

I agree, there are a lot of people that do not appreciate giving information in videos......thank you for all you do for the industry

[@TonyPham-Creations]

Your advice in this one video completely changed my perspective on CNC machining! Was afraid of breaking tools, pushing to limits then backing off, but you help me overcome this & can be much more productive now. I thank you!

[@Michael_Verna-Do]

you've hyped me up so much. In Germany I learned how to maintain the machine and therefore drive low values. But this is just a hype boost, I feel like driving to work on Saturday and trying it all out. Crazy

[@irakaplan1583]

Excellent video!! Have you ever used a field instrument unit that measures spindle watts while going into the cut, during the cut and out of the cut? The units are AMAZING. Each test you run creates a long length spreadsheet every tenth of a second at light speed. Then you can ask Excel to graph the sheet with Y as watts (amps x volts= amps or work) and X as time. You can see the tool going into the cut, max energy pull and time for cycle. You do this for several different runs, label each with speeds, feeds, etc. and THEN overlay all the graphs to see which is the most efficient. Store the test results. This is all done with the special unit and a laptop. It gets rid of any guesswork finding the sweetspot.

[@marchanson711]

Titan, you are the Confucius of this industry. Not only is your data proven, your philosophy is on the level of Marcus Aurelius, Lao Tzu, and many of the great ones. Courage, tempered in discipline, and honed by a heart of a Lion. Shazaam! Git some!

[@Fr1day-RT]

Personally I'm thankful for the info you share. It's one of the things that keeps me thinking, experimenting, and always looking for better way to do things.

[@colt098]

They are bunch of armchair machinist, keep doin it big, BOOM. You’ve given me the balls to speed things up

[@chrismarino9542]

I love this commentary, "push the machine to the limit, and then back off". As a mechanical engineer, and manufacturing entrepreneur, I have a good feeling that the machines are way overdesigned, so that "incidents" happen, and not ruin the day.

[@agordon117]

Glad to hear the chess set tutorials are coming. I ordered a new NLX1500SY to replace my ST20SS and I have been watching for that video series. Mori is pretty tight lipped about stuff early in the order process, and information is very scarce online. My local guys are very helpful, but they always want to make sure they get perfectly accurate info, so it takes time.

[@TITANSofCNC]

So this is the Titanium Tutorial for the XL King... great info and the set up sheet is on the Academy with all the tools etc

[@agordon117]

@@TITANSofCNC yeah that sounds like it will be exactly what I need to see. I'm not starting from zero experience, but moving up to a dual spindle (which I realize the king may not take advantage of) and Y axis, I'm just trying to absorb as much content as I can find to ease the transition.

[@iPACKgoldDOTS]

Took a 24 min program to 13 minutes using proper tooling and high speed machining tool paths. It was originally cammed out by one of those I know everything guys in the trade. I'm a 11 year veteran operator and set up guy but started doing camworks programming in the last year. I may not have a lot of programming experience but i have 10s of thousands of hours watching tool paths and listening to tools run. I can tell what's slow and where to speed up. Where as this guy as spent most of his time behind a desk. I appreciate your videos and the time you take to make them.

[@arod684]

I was just told about your channel recently, digging the message and philosophy brother.

[@davenicholson3491]

Totally get it Bro!!! I always push to the limits and pull back to the sweet spot in my machining. I machine a lot of really hard material (white iron or A68) used In slurry pumps . Use cbn inserts. Small cuts wear the inserts the same if not more than bigger cuts. Always push the insert to it’s limit then back off a tad. Drops machine time exponentially!!!

[@cameronhyatt7672]

Best video yet Titan. Thank you

[@spivzit8754]

Nice! I actually have a binder with the Titans logo on it and a notpad inside I use to document everything I'm learning and that's where I'm keeping my prints from the academy. I'm goin to school in my bedroom boom.

[@tombradford2]

Cant wait to see the "Fundamentals and Companion Guide to Titans of CNC Academy" by Titan Gilroy, I think it would be an amazing book. I would download it on my phone to reference to at the machine. Awesome video, love learning more and more about the industry and trying the different techniques at work.

[@ManuelRamcanny]

Never stop giving ❤

[@CincyPlasmaTech]

I like the T-shirt Titan. Can I get "Murdering metal is not a crime" on the back? That, or "Find the sweet spot".

[@akronimm862]

Speaking on the 800IPM shell mill, they don’t put a 40HP vector drive in the machine for no reason, they put it there for you to USE IT

[@heathparks157]

U do great at inspiration!! Love to push the limits!! I also run extremely hard o. Tools. Ex.. 2" kennametal feed mill 6" long 3000rpm 500im scares other operators but handles it every time just a beast!!!

[@benhalligan7147]

When you say document speeds and feeds etc, would you also recommend documenting processes for a specific part too? Your videos have pushed me to run my machine faster at work, cutting my machining times by half for a lot of common parts we do, needless to say my boss is impressed! Thanks Titan

[@TITANSofCNC]

Yes, everything important

[@CincyPlasmaTech]

I named my center vise N30 after Neo from the matrix. The vise is no bigger than my hand and cost $3000. That was more than 5 years ago.

[@Euclidfreeman]

Tell you what Titan. After a lil studying and messing around and finding a nice balance between surface footage, feed rate and tool radial. Im pushing a .5 endmill to 750 in the feed on 6061. Made the same endmill last across the whole run of over 200 while maintaining tolerance and a glass finish. Just like you say tho. Lol rough that shit out and kiss the baby into tolerance. ✌

[@TITANSofCNC]

Kiss it... Kiss IT:-)

[@MisterDeltamaster]

Dang! Glad I found you. You're a cool guy on so many levels. Got a sub from me 🙂

[@grebesj]

I watch your motivation speeches every evening, but then in the morning at work there is only boooom! :(

[@ovx23]

I see a whole lot of videos of mostly mills. I understand that mill work takes longer and all butt do u have any experience on lathes?

[@yakubuyeboah7219]

My mind is freed!

[@MalletCNCWorks]

Thanks for sharing the information.

[@brentneahring2797]

Hey titan, when it comes to maximizing efficiency and having good tool life, what kind of turning inserts do you use for mild steel parts on lathes?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Check out Tyson’s video coming out tomorrow... it’s Amazing 😉 gives all Lathe Tooling

[@scotttempleton429]

Hi titan great video. We use penncool S500 coolant 5-8%. I was wondering what coolant you use and what percentage to water?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Synergy 735 from Blaser. It’s clear like water and you can machine aluminum or Inconel etc. 7% for general Machining... 10% for Super Alloys

[@mythattak]

Is there already a software out there which allows all sorts of CNC/ manufacturing shops (or programmers & machinists) to upload which speeds and feeds they use on certain inserts or endmills by Kennametal or Sandvik or something, then include the specific machines they're running them on, on what materials etc, etc that theyve each found to be optimal? That way everything is sort of open source and that we can all improve together rather than someone taking years and years to find out each tool for which machine they've got? There's gotta be something out there already, right?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Download NOVO from Kennemetal

[@jimazmachining6313]

If you watched his video and payed attention you would notice he said on "THIS" machine. Tool manufactures have machines that they get this data from, there are alot of machines out there, not all vmc's are the same. So feeds and speeds are machine dependant. The manufacture, feed speed calculators, and CAM all give just a starting point. There are many variables that affect feed and speed, you have the machine, material, setup, machine toolpath strategy, the part itself and it's specs. Tool manufacture speed and feed are typically on the high side, theyre trying to sell tools, they run their tests on a little block of material locked down very rigidly, so they can push it to the max, they also have hi end machines which always helps.

[@mythattak]

Thanks for the feedback. I do understand what you said to be true though, and I guess I was just saying it would all just be a good "starting point" like you said to refer and compare with different shops. I'll check out the program recommended by Titans of CNC and see what it's about...

[@tbaforlife]

Great video Titan, could be nice if you made a video showing off some different methods to running faster in inconel 728 and cw6mc and all those wierd ass alloys. atm im running 35mm/min in cs6mc and the inserts just last one part

[@TITANSofCNC]

Did you see my Inconel 625 Tutorial? Watch Tyson’s for tomorrow ... more coming

I did but it's quite some time ago might watch it again (:

Great shirt

[@MikeCindyWhite]

I like to turn my feedrate up until my endmill breaks, then I back it off a c.h.! I hardly ever look at my load meter I rest my hand on the side of the machine and you can feel the sweet spot of the cutter just by feel, You 'd be surprised how well that works, Just using your hand to feel the harmonics!

[@mythattak]

Gotta love those CH's haha

[@horseshoe_nc]

Mad Russian theory of machining. Crank it up, till it starts to shake. Then, back off just a bit. LOL That is one a now retired coworker said all the time.

[@MikeCindyWhite]

@@horseshoe_nc LOL! Nice one! I'm from just north of Boston so we just call it Masshole machining! Lol

[@marloneva4658]

nice vedio brother.....

[@felderup]

i was thinking for a while that measuring spindle load and deflection would be way better than mincing along like i'm hiding from ninja's. if there were an easy way to add it to a home built machine, i'd add it.

[@grinchyface]

Listen y'all, whether your ball screws are slightly worn or they are trashed, it still costs the same to replace them. If your spindle ain't at 95 percent you ain't doing it right

[@85CEKR]

If your talking ball screw though, unless your doing really cheesy work making your ballscrews even slightly worn means you need to replace them, trashed is usually out of the question.

Just do it yourself.... lead by example I work in a shop that wants to cut like it 1980 I change feeds and speeds all the time I don't know enough programming to change methodology so I do whatever I can to make the job faster
