really suprised you don't need a special license for truck that big, in finland and i think the rest of europe you drive a normal car with B license and anything over 3500kg needs a different license.

Air brakes and an air assisted parking brake are different things when it comes to license qualifications... in canada anyway, sure it is in the states too. Air brakes are typically on a triple axles truck, or the odd 5 ton chassis truck aswell, not common though and needs an endorsement to drive. A air assited park brake is just that... a knob to push an pull when parked. Pretty simple

Posted this on "The negetivity" video. Came back to post it here. Its a repost. I'm not usually the encouraging, happy go-lucky, guy in the comments. But I want to explain my own experience with people that have money, and people that build cars. My most recent car purchase was a blown up rx8, nothing new there right? Wrong. This younger guy bought a Mazda remand engine, had someone else put it in, purchased a rare top mount turbo kit, had someone put it in, bought all the supporting mods, had someone put ALL of it in for him. After five thousand miles the engine completely grenaded, all 3 front apex seals were gone. Five. Thousand. Miles. So what did he do?he sold the car. He spent $10,000 on parts alone, not including labor. And sold it to me for $1,500. Next to nothing. He called it quits. Thats the difference between having money, and truly building a car. I dont have a lot of money these days. But I'm slowly building this car back up, reversing the many horrible decisions that ensured his engine would die. And bringing her back to life again. (PS, don't let just anyone build your car, this car died exclusively because many horrible decisions by the builder.) Rob is the kind of guy that starts over, rebuilds after it blows, and carries on. Now its time for me to go back to being sarcastic and non-encouraging. Stay frosty

When i heard the beepbeepbeepbeep on the forklift, my mind just went "parking brake parking brake parking brake" lol I used to operate those toyotas quite a bit. Was getting a bit nervous as you backed off the truck. You had the mast tilted forward quite a bit. Once that load starts to slide off, there is no stopping it. Once you pick something up, ALWAYS tilt the mast backwards (towards you). If you have to come to a sudden stop, or even take a turn a bit too sharp, things can come flying off of the forks.

[@JashanTaggar]

The air pressure is one of the most important gauges in the truck 😂 thats how much brakes you can apply

[@markg1495]

I gasped when he said that 😂

[@JashanTaggar]

Ben T. Basically the air reservoir is connected to a diaphragm via a bunch of lines and valves etc... when u press the brake pedal, a valve sends a specified amount of air pressure to the diaphragm which actuates a cam with big force through leverage action... this rotates the “S-cam” which pushes the brake lining against the brake drum... its important to know how much much air pressure is in the tanks especially when u need to apply a 100% brake stop in an emergency. Because in that case, the pressure in the reservoir is the max pressure the brakes can apply. If your tank is low and you dont know why its important, you will have a bad time stopping when you really need to.

[@JashanTaggar]

Ben T. Strong springs are used to apply the parking brake. You dont want air pressure to park a vehicle, its better to rely on a mechanical, 100% safe system to hold a vehicle.

[@JashanTaggar]

Ben T. Yeah so if the air pressure drops below 45 - 20 psi, the spring brakes (parking brakes) activate automatically. The parking brakes are held off by a minimum of 60psi air pressure, so when the air pressure gets low, the force exerted on the spring by the air is too low to keep the spring (parking brake) compressed. Its a great design

You have all the weight on that rear axel, you should have moved the load much further forward so as to better spread and balanced the load evenly between the trucks axels.

[@ankitchavan3037]

Feels really good when see you do things we afraid of truly appreciate your efforts and love your smiling attitude.👍👍👍👍

[@ChaosAura]

that's a cute little mill. Work just got a brand new VF7 on Friday. comes with it's own staircase to the doors!

I can imagine the 3am sounds coming from Robs shop already !!

I was a forklift trainer for new hires where is used to work for 10 years and I can say you did well. So it looks like you might need to use a lift like this again in the future here a few tips. The 3rd pedal is a clutch/brake pedal so you can keep revs up for moving the hydraulics faster while not having the have 3 feet to move pedals. You would be surprised at how much more control you can have with the revs up keeping hydraulic pressure up. This makes the controls respond to less movement(shorter throw) giving you a much more control for smooth movement. Also its best to park the truck centered in the valley if there is one so your front tires on the lift are not in it. It's best to just avoid it all together if you can.

nice Rob! my dad has purchased several Haas' in his professional career and he says they're fantastic, also an amazing bang for the buck, the things i would do with a Haas! lifegoals here... a workshop with a couple lifts, a hub dyno, and a Haas (as well as a bunch of other tools like a CNC plasma table, lathe/mill) is about as good as it gets

[@Splitfinger709]

That's good that you have an oil skimmer. I don't know if you're going to use coolant or not. If you are, coolant concentration is really important. To thin and you'll get bacteria growing in it. Haas are pretty damn good for a first CNC! I would have taped the doors closed while transporting it. Can't wait for you to start using it!

[@vanjabi8827]

This is about to put you on a whole new level my guy. I cant wait to see what insane things you come up with.

[@Fordman6546]

Super cool video Rob.

[@Speedy2222]

i guess this is your Very First 1.. the VF1 . as a machinist i am excited to see what you come up with to make on this.

[@goldwolfgaming7821]

good source to look at is titans of cnc and nyc cnc. haas also has their own stuff for each machine, the VF1 should give you less issues than the tormachs that I built and my school had to deal with.

[@Kenezo]

I love watching thise videos! you are one of the most intresting and funn youtubers to watch! Thank you! :D

[@TalkTime4]

NICE!! I love working with Haas cnc, I use Fusion 360 to create and then program to machine, it's free for small businesses , can't wait to see what you machine

[@Meticulist]

About time! HAAS is the way to go, cant wait to see what you make with this.

[@sosaltysereezy]

No its not..haas is junk lmao

[@jakelovescinema]

Thats cool big truck boi my job before quarantine was driving a big box truck also at the limit of what you can legally drive without a cdl it's very fun. Love the contrast of driving my tiny little miata to work and then getting in the biggest vehicle I can drive without a cdl

[@theRedHARRY]

Well Dahmn Rob, it is about time... All the best with the new toy. The possibilities are opening up...

[@judyfps5059]

Now rob can manufacture his own rotor housings and rotors. I used to have the privilege of operating a $250k CNC mill when I worked for a machine shop during highschool. You’re gonna absolutely love being able to finally build what you want when you want. CAD and G-code aren’t that hard, once you get the hang of how it all comes together you’re going to feel like an absolute god with how many things you realize you’re capable of now. Have fun my friend, and have a good day

[@BIGWIGGLE223]

Ya gotta be a smooth operator on the forks Rob!! Smooth. Not so yanky yanky. Always remember when lifting precious cargo like that to go in as level as possible with the forks or slightly tipped forward. Then, instead of lifting straight up, you'll slowly tip the forks backwards so it'll shift the cargos weight to the mast. And use the clutch! The clutch disengages and then as you press farther the brakes are activated and you can get even better control of the hydraulic system using the gas while you're smoothly pulling levers. Congrats on the CNC guys!! Shit is gonna get nutz now!! Vroom Vroom bitches!! 🤟🏼🤟🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@1nf1d31]

Thank God that Gentleman was there to help you with sintching that thing down he new what he was doing thats an awesome machine! You will have fun with that making your own parts!

[@Tclans]

So much YESSS!!! Great purchage Rob 👍🏼

[@Dukes3677]

I use haas machines as my first cnc machine. They're very easy-to-use and pretty dang tough! Just remember to all ways touch your tools!

[@cencoast_7.340]

Always touch your tools?

[@lifeinsurance4495]

I used on of these machines in high school. Vf-1 stands for very first 1 as it was haas’s first cnc machine. It was a pain to clean at the end of the school year.
