How It's Made - Darts

How darts are made.

[@Randolph_]

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.

[@DartsReviewChannel]

Great video, love watching these type of clips :)

[@bjrnhagen2853]

Did you see any green darts? ;)

[@DartsReviewChannel]

@@bjrnhagen2853 lol

[@leewhitworth9142]

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.

[@rieldebonk1044]

My darts are 330 gram darts that there sail says FatCat

Riel de bonk I prefer to call it a flyer

[@TheJammerxxx]

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 !!!

[@jameshope398]

Absolutely fascinating i've never actually seen how darts are actually made great clip

We have been spoiled as a society by HD. I remember the 80s and 90s. This is how ALL tv shows looked

I like the part when she says "shaft"

[@livefreeordie7209]

This is the greatest video i have ever seen

[@pugnut403]

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.

[@mistasage]

I just wanna know how they design and build these amazing machines!

[@GaribaldiInTheMaking]

sick drum beat.

[@0Heavy0Metal0]

God...the puns...they're giving me a mind freezie.

[@TheLeivrem]

i wish there was a video about making a DART BOARD

[@T_B1]

There's a video on KZbin that shows how boards are made.

[@T_B1]

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 show makes the best puns

[@sharrynuk]

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.

Mind blown 🤯

Now I want a dart and a dartboard

the puns! oh the tungstony

[@dragonfirepepper]

outstanding video

[@MrUltimateBroski]

Really interesting video I liked it

[@BMHMSLF]

Thanks for the video! I used this to create a power point about how darts are made for my engineering class.

[@J0VyanBH]

Hope you got an A, even 8 years later

[@Trinivalts]

Gotta love the industrial tech.

[@blazenblues8031]

Less than a minute for $$$$$$$$$

[@michealodonovan95]

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

[@IboCamIbo]

If it takes a minute to make a dart, why is the video five minutes long? hug

[@michaellinner7772]

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.

[@JohnnyWuzzisname]

@BladeOfForsaken To lubricate the cutting tools. Metal gets danged hot.

[@tonyphillips1528]

If you are still active are you available to answer a few questions I have about this video?

[@Yuuray]

holy shit, that machine at 1:00 looks like alienstuff right there

[@Anyonewhos]

Cool. Nice to know. Amazing bit of stuff

[@Rimibe]

It all drips down to the bottom of the machine, collects in a sump, gets filtered and pumped back up through the sprayers again.

[@Dim4323]

brass or tungstien to create the barrel

[@halmain7406]

Great video

[@samsoulee]

SO MUCH LUBE !!!!

[@rowanrobinson]

An infinite amount of entertainment

[@DragonXero]

@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.

[@googler69er]

Remember a good set of Darts will give you unlimited entertainment. Oh .... No Arms.

[@douro20]

@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.

[@kojichao7096]

@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...

[@broddish2]

@55dpc sisal fibers, and darts whey all from 12grams to 40 grams

[@ducttaperulestheworl]

I like how they cut these things

[@DeviantsRealm]

Wow. Cool to see how things are made. I prefer plastic shafts though.

[@micljbitty]

thats what she said

[@daicars]

yeah she does say that!!!

[@john2000cash]

@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

[@hashrulsubzero]

4:16 I'm gonna start collecting those :D

[@danogden8414]

hashrulsubzero it’s 8 years on and how is your collection going

[@SplodinCabbage]

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)

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 :)

[@METRACNCmultispindleMACHINES]

Good video!

[@waylandquiaoit3871]

Is elkadart is the best darts company?

[@MrGraham001]

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.

[@seantan96]

Doesn't the oil makes the machine hard to onto the metal rod and slipping off?

[@robertlsmith6387]

Cool, how do they make the tips called Hammerheads no bounce darts?

[@20mlt09]

thats fascinating

[@BradMaestas]

@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.

[@tedkenneth14344]

awesomee

[@55dpc]

@broddish2 Sorry I do apologize. The fiber is interesting but I meant the metal used as # markers on the board. Steel, aluminum, 17-5 ph material, brass, copper, etc. But thank you !

[@PyroDesu]

that was oil, not water. it is used for keeping the machines cool.

[@jehovahuponyou]

@littlestworkshop because people who don't use or know about machining just call them a machine

[@M3sslah]

@nzqi1 Yeah I said that before, who makes all these crazy machines and how are they made? It's insane, like this holy grail no one knows anything about these terminator machines.

Agreed, im the same way

wings lol

The Romans had darts ,throwing arrows ,they look exactly the same , but bigger

She sure liked saying the word shaft...and I didn't mind it

the wings?

i watched my brothers hand get stapled to the board in a game of darts, i pissed my self laughing for about 10 minutes.

[@jagjithi]

What machines are used to make a dart?????

[@christopherpelletier587]

cnc lathes

[@CeeEmmz]

I wonder how much a custom made one cost.... badly want a Harrows but in my own design

[@Djarra]

+Embcii Bee Not as much as you might think there are a few places that do them. Voks in the US are good.

[@CeeEmmz]

Djarra thnx, but I want Harrows

[@gredangeo]

Mostly celebrity markup and brand status. The ones they shown are probably 20-30 bucks. Also, darts are bought by weight. Plenty of quality control goes into making sure you get 3 equally weighted darts to +- .1 of a gram and other shit.

[@sifarcher]

buy online from the UK, much cheaper.

[@jamiefoster7360]

Does anyone know the name of each machine? it's for my project about manufacture process Thank You

[@jjf2x870]

did you ever figure it out? im interested also.

[@willabrams9449]

Prices are getting out of hand for some darts

[@55dpc]

What metal is used on an official dart board? :)

[@SplodinCabbage]

You'd have to be able to afford the machines which cost millions also the disposal of the oil which cant be recycled also the cost of replacing the worn down turning tools

[@KMplusIS]

"Now it's time to screw the shaft" WHAT DID SHE SAY!?!

[@jlarsena]

They still make brass darts? And people still use them???

[@MorphicDeath]

Most beginners start throwing with brass darts lol.

[@metallicblood]

I recently started and bought several brass barrels, to find out with which sizes, weights and shapes I feel comfortable with.

[@misstaylors]

Kind of like 'bar darts' cheap darts bars buy so it doesn't matter if they break or go missing.

[@Subparanon]

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.....'

[@nzqi1]

I wonder what machines make those machines

[@Kocochocolate]

it looks like the machine is giving birth >P

[@dantesoriano8070]

[@Serostern]

Aluminum? Never heard of it. Aluminium however..

[@XykuJoxa]

You son of a bitch you're right, but North Americans typically call it Aluminum, even products are labeled as such.

[@groundhogggggggggggg]

Aluminum is a lighter version of aluminium, made with a special process that removes one i.
