How to Program & Machine the TITANIUM KING

[@EnnTomi1]

quality of the video is just like the quality of the part, excellent stuff.

[@TITANSofCNC]

Very proud of my son

[@koajairo2356]

@Blaze Diego Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@koajairo2356]

@Blaze Diego It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D

[@Gameomg]

I am nothing short of amazed. This is some real professional CNC machining right here.

[@glennwilson6179]

I'm in the market for my 1st machine. Leaning twd a middle range 5 axis Tormach. Specialty plumbing parts to start. You guys are awesome. I feel like I'm in class! Keep up the good work.

[@feltsjack]

Awesome content! Very talented work with titanium. The clean comprehensive explanation of all the operations, tools, speeds, and feeds makes this video tutorial 5 stars. Please continue creating great machining content!

[@opengchris18]

Ive been watching a lot of your vids recently Titan and enjoy your point of view on US manufacturing. It is so sad that we have lost our way. There is a steel mill close to me that is idle and will probably never start up again, so sad. The amount of satellite job shops and small industry that have closed due to it being idled is staggering. Keep up with what you are doing. I listened to your ups and downs and what you have accomplished is outstanding but I felt compelled (don't comment much) after watching this video, with all that you have been through, your biggest achievement in my opinion is listening to a very well spoken professional that you call Tyson. Your son. Not only do you know how to machine but kudos to you and your wife for raising a fine young man to continue your legacy and manufacturing in the great USA!! P.S. Excellent presentation Tyson!

[@123kkambiz]

That was fantastic explanation , editing the video superb and highly professional. BOOOM. Thank you Titan and Titan's son.

[@helgethaysen7830]

I would have turned and milled the top first and then turned and milled the foot last, to keep the part more rigid. Your part looked good and the program worked fine.

[@85CEKR]

I was thinking the same thing, but ya the part looks great.

[@uliseszx6044]

same 👍

[@RicM4]

You don't know how many times he had to adjust his speeds and feeds to get rid of the chatter... He even talks about it... Every skilled machinist would leave the stock material under the crown until the last operation. Making it that thin and using groove cutters on the crown, not the smartest way to do this.

[@helgethaysen7830]

@@RicM4 You mean, we don´t have to ad a "BOOOOM" to the comments!

[@Petertje94]

True. His way also works but takes way to long. The part looks great but could be machined way faster.

[@bostondan77]

Your video editing and content is amazing. Thank you

[@helicopterjohns]

Awesome Job! Thanks for sharing. You are lucky to have a dad that was able to teach you all of these machining skills along with other ones you have learned along the way.. Look forward to seeing more of your work. I know you LOVE your new machine. John

[@frederikgovaers238]

I really need metric speeds and feeds!

[@tylerfarrell8034]

multiply the given feedrates by 25.4 and you'll have your mm/minute.

[@SAXONWARLORD1000AD]

HOLY CRAP - this kid's no joke , one sharp dude

[@manofallmasterofnone1020]

Dude, that's awsome. I just started running that lathe at work knowing very little about it. The stuff this machine can do is mind blowing to me because I'm coming from a 2 acess Haas lathe.

[@dylanrogers1390]

I currently study mechanical Engineering at college and am on my 2nd year. Your videos inspire me to work harder and smarter to achieve more! Great work on the videos they are so helpful :)

[@TheAefril]

That was a phenomenal explanation! Thanks, Tyson. Keep the detailed videos coming! Say - Hi, to Titan, God Bless from Syndey, Australia.

[@dadekmilek7029]

Woow KING OF TITAN S , have a very kind passionate and smart son ,and He is capable to do something so completely different and complicated product - like chess figure/s. Amazing . I forgot the name,of free CAD CAM software that you talking on CNC academy. Btw I'm registered on that site, and school program is very detailing and explain almost anything u want. U guys are awesome . Love u all there 👌👍💜

[@kylehofmeister6906]

I have a question, why are machinists and CNC programmers paid like crap? I'm from the Chicagoland area and even being a full 5 axis / swiss lathe trained machinist, you make a max $30 an hour. Compare that to much easier labor jobs around that pay up to $46 dollars an hour, why is this the case? How can we make more money in the industry without being a shop owner? Thanks and great video!

[@Bawbag0110]

Count yourself lucky, in the UK the average is $18 an hour

[@gredangeo]

What labour job is easier than being a machinist?

[@gredangeo]

@@spikeypineapple552 That's how he phrased it.

[@chrisrokz9005]

I think KH means " Unskilled Labor " like helpers and material handlers in the construction industries. I am not sure why people compare jobs this way? easier vs harder, it depends on personal preference. Working for a Concrete Contractor or Tying Rebar can be real hard on the body. $30 / hr sounds low for the Great Lakes region, especially in a large metro like Chicago or Detroit.

[@kylehofmeister6906]

@@chrisrokz9005 Sort of yes, we (machinists) are paid like 2nd year apprentices, even when we can be masters of our trade. I have 2 skilled buddies, one HVAC and a linemen friend who both make over double what I make. The knowledge you need to be great at their jobs is much lower than what you need to be a great machinist, on or off the CNC. I'm not saying they don't work hard, they are great hardworking boys, I just can't figure out the pay difference. Other than the love for it, there is really no reason to get into this trade. Nobody but the people on the inside appreciate what we do. Getting back to my original post though, there has to be a way to make great money in this field of work. I just can't seem to find it.

[@spkrman15]

Great video guys I really like this format step-by-step and feed and speeds really useful keep it up

[@maxfacts1]

Titan, Tyson, and Titanium a match made in CNC Machining heaven, it's all good. Love that very impressive NLX 2500 700 you seeing Tyson master it was so cool, BOOM it's all Great.

[@philhagan1253]

I’m proposing this machine for my employers next lathe. Spec is with fanuc controller, sub spindle, y axis, live tooling, bolt on tools for stability and if they will stretch .... a pallet loader. Is there anything you would change about this machine now that you have it up and running? Also, what CAM software you use? P.s love the videos and the enthusiasm you guys bring to manufacturing. It’s a career that provides constant learning and a real sense of achievement 👍🏻.

[@leenkka]

I come from Germany and I love your videos. But in Germany, we have the metric system. Could you maybe also write the metric data in your videos. Thank you. Greeting from Erding

[@TITANSofCNC]

[@jasonskinner3290]

That is the exact same machine I use at my job. Love it, I wish I could do bigger parts but I don't run anything over 2" in diameter and lots of bar pull.

[@TheBobgray2]

Do you have a video for the lathe that shows how he got the numbers used to generate the speeds and feeds, depth of cut etc. I'm just starting out on the lathe and would find this helpful. Thanks.

[@thomaskramer9838]

First off, you guys are amazing. Love the videos and find so many useful tips and information.

[@allysondoherty2908]

Hello - I enjoy your videos. I work in training at a contract manufacturing company. I'd love to see videos that show a dimensional relationship between features. For example, on the King the position of the cross to the thorns to the grooves on the base.

Congratulations! I love your videos, you are motivation to learn more, more, more CNC.....move on knowledge guys!

[@petehoare8235]

Would you ever consider putting metric conversions of all the feeds speeds and dimensions on the screen as they are said? Im fairly new to machining, and learning feeds and speeds is a huge part of the whole process, and these videos are great, but as a metric person, im learning nothing about feeds and speeds from these videos. If it just flashed up 2000mm/min as you said whatever inches per min, that would make the videos so much more useful for most of the world who use metric. Thanks :-)

[@TITANSofCNC]

Yes

[@jackmccarthy9745]

Yes they do! I work for DMG Mori UK as an applications engineer. The NLX series can have different machine controllers all with our new CELOS controller, and each have their own online conversational programing system. by looking at there machine it seems they have the MORI MAPPS 5 conversational system which is a really good online system.

[@woodallsgarage9162]

Titan I’m going to school to be a machinist in Alabama. For some reason we only use manual machines fo the first three years and one year of CNC. Do you think it should be the opposite way around Will I use manual machines in today’s world?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Sorry but chances are you won’t use manual ... manual is good experience but if you can get on CNC, it will teach you what you need quicker and allow you to advance farther before graduation. Have you been studying the Academy.titansofcnc.com ? People are buying mills for $10K and putting them in their garages and just using the academy. Any learning is good but 3 yrs manual is a bit much if they actually have CNC’s

[@85CEKR]

Unfortunately, I think most people in the industry don't see the benefits of experience on manual machines. Running manual machines for three years will give you so much valuable knowledge about cutting metal that you may never learn if you went straight to CNC. I went to a college that did 1/2 a year manual and then 1-1/2 CNC. I was fortunate to grow up running manual machines but the ppl graduating with me, who supposedly now were cnc machinists, I would never have let any of them near a CNC in my shop because they didn't learn or understand the basics of cutting metals.

[@chrisrokz9005]

I mostly agree with Titan. 3 years of Manual sounds way too long. A machining or welding degree should be an AAS, 2 years max. This school is taking your money and it will be a terrible return on investment. If you do a 4 year degree stick with something technical, perfect your communication skills and mathematics. There are good manual machinist jobs, typically coastal regions with large ports. Community College out here in Oregon is around $100 per credit, plus fees. Shops hire newbs at minimum wage with or without degrees.

[@allysondoherty2908]

A solid foundation in how machines cut metal is valuable.

[@williamfosterXD]

i'm just starting my second year as a machinist in central NSW Australia. we have 2 CNC at the tafe however we wont get to touch them for the entire 3 years. i will need to drive 5 and a bit hours to the coast to learn on cnc machines.

[@philipphenke7359]

Great Video! Can you make a Video with pros and cons of Km50, Capto and VDI40?

[@dustinforst4340]

Wondering what the run time of the part was. It certainly came out amazing!

[@AlexLancashirePersonalView]

Hi Tyson. Why did you machine all the weight out of the bottom end of the piece before you did all the fromt end work, Surely it would have made the work piece more rigid to do this and then rough and finis the bottom end ?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Because we didn’t want to confuse people and have a really long video. Also, because we work with titanium, Inconel and Monel everyday... this understood the exact feeds and speeds to keep the perfect pressure on it... as you can see, we had no issues and it came out Perfect.

[@AlexLancashirePersonalView]

Like you and your dad in these tutorial. I am too old now, retired, but I always loved my CNC machines. They make engineering fun. You two are way ahead of me in your craft. Keep it up.

[@rubensandstrom6824]

Would not a band saw be better to part it of the partcather is a bit smaller than the part?

[@TITANSofCNC]

The part off tool is amazing, precision and faster than a saw

[@jackmccarthy9745]

A band saw would create a rough finish on the back face, meaning a second Operation would be longer. By parting off with the correct speeds and feeds you allow a nice finish and are able to cut the part to size. In a production environment this would be very efficient, as an operator would not have to be manually removing the part and sawing it off. Personally I would be using the sub spindle to collect the part from the main spindle when parting off and finishing the part in one operation!
