Seems like an excellent guy to work for! Not to mention how impressive the machine collection is! I put in a resumé last week. This place looks like a dream job for a machinist.

[@mdrr4335]

I have known his dad Wes for years, Dennis was about 10 years old, we had a shop across the street,we helped each other in lots of ways tooling, gave each other work, a great relationship baled each other out more than once. And then Dennis "grew up' suddenly he is programming running the shop and when it comes to the new technology he passed myself and his dad up at 200mph and picking up speed,lol I often told his dad how lucky he was to have 2 great sons. I have 2 great daughters not interested in machining lol. I have 51 years in the trade Dennis is the real thing in all aspects of life. He has my total admiration and respect, Great Kid

[@stevesaling1818]

Wes worked for me for a number of years.

[@Chriss120]

you can tell he knows his stuff by the way he answeres everything in an instant. no "i need to check that" or "employee will tell you"

[@Mike_to_the_k]

He's my boss, he's a damn genius

[@mannycalavera121]

Everyone wants a boss like this guy. Having ran an NTX2000 for 5 years, he's 100% about mill turn being a completely different animal

[@Mike_to_the_k]

I work there and he's one of the coolest guys I've ever had the pleasure to work for.

Shut up mike

[@brocksomich6523]

Im a 30 year old machinist and have only been in the trade for about 5 years. I love the trade and am jealous of this guys time put into the trade. I wish i had learned about it sooner. Love his energy.

[@Mike_to_the_k]

I work with him and his father at this shop. They're both amazing

[@Awfultyming]

It's a great time to find that better job

[@JesseHires]

As a software engineer at MSFT whose first project laid the foundation for Remote Desktop in the late 90s, this video made me happy seeing someone using it as it was envisioned.

Well ty for making my job easier 🤙

“Just go outside and walk the dog” That’s a great problem solving time!! Relaxed with the pup so brain is thinking clearly. I also love thinking about fixturing while riding 🚴, deff helps solve some issues!! 😎

Dennis and all his Brothers, and his actual brother, and his Mom. This video had it all. Expected to see the wakeboat parked inside until another Grob shows up.

This guy's energy is awesome! Love to see the enthusiasm and the knowledge. Great tour! Very impressive shop.

[@Steviegtr52]

Wow some machinery there. Just amazing to listen to you 2 discussing all the pro's & cons. Regards. Steve.

[@prodesign8189]

You know John, when I watch a vid on shops like this, it blows my mind the investment and work the dude puts into everything. Makes me both impressed and driven by guys like this. I only have two hobby machines (the 440 and 770mx) but I love the thrill of working 80 hours a week and I am constantly dreaming of having a shop like his. But I'd take yours too! Thanks for all you do, I rewatched this one today while I'm pumping out some 2000 spring battery terminals for handheld satellite emergency location transmitters. Using an arbor press to assemble so I needed something to watch while I work! Hope all's well out there ohio. Say hello to Jared for me!

[@brandonmahoney3550]

Outstanding shop and tour! Thanks for putting this together

[@kastrup2dk]

it brings memory back seeing Mori Seiki NH 5000 it's a very nice and stable machine one of the thing star is very nice is to dual motor it's make its more precise and stable it is competing with KITAMURA MYCENTER HX630I to be my favorite horizontal the only thing I am think that is missing on them is a Heidenheim controller but they are very good for production and both machines are very stable and precise. I enjoyed watching very much

[@MrXtacle]

I run an NTX1000, and it's so much fun, and is such a beast compared to Mazaks and other lesser brands. Super easy to set up with transfer and "done in one" operation. We put a HALTER stacking robot system on it. I use the turret for rough, and B axis for finishing, since it will hold +-0.005mm all day every day in aluminium, while the turret is more prone to drifting by +-0.01mm during the day. It's amazing to use in Inconel as well, super rigid machine. Machining in both spindles at once is so convenient, and I don't think I could ever go back to a machine with only one channel. We're looking into a CMZ TTL, and I cant wait to try out superimposed machining with XZ axis on the sub spindle.

95% of the work at my company is semiconductor for lam too. They are hard to work for! They control your process once it’s dialed in you can’t make a single change without recertification. Can’t even change the coating of an endmill, can’t add anything to coolant, and so much more

[@mikehazenbosch5791]

Great tour. Shout out to the puma 240m. Curious 🤨 what’s the difference between a brother and a robodrill? Does one do anything better then the other or is it just preference ?

[@TOXIXIFY]

Brother has their own controller and to robodrills run Fanuc.

[@Awfultyming]

They are similar machines once you have them running. They have been talking about that on his podcast a bit lately because john grimsmo is buying a brother soon

[@mikehazenbosch5791]

@@Awfultyming That’s why I was asking I know he has a relationship with the robo dealer, having just bought the cmm of them. I guess it just a preference or availability thing then.

[@roketarider]

Does the brother have a higher horsepower spindle?

[@alishihade4751]

I thought that brother cnc are a cheep chinese cnc , I did not expect to see them in such a shop, that changed what I think about them.

[@Skellist]

Brother is a Japanese company, they're big in the printing world (along with Canon and Epson, also Japanese) and their Speedio's are very competitive against Fanuc (Japanese again) Robodrills, allthough Fanuc does offer 5-axis Robodrills whereas Brother doesn't offer true 5-axis Speedio's, only 3+2

[@WilliamPayneNZ]

How many people work at this company? I ask out of interest as I have seen smaller shops with more people get less done. I hurt my back earlier this year and the realisation is coming that I can't stand at a machine for hours on end anymore and while I was always aware of automation, I now often ask why does someones value need to be on their ability to stand at a machine when the machine can be made to do the work and the worker can be doing something else. Great video.

[@hampfi747]

Awesome shop! Are the brothers with the erowa robot just for prepping Stock that goes into the grob?

[@Mike_to_the_k]

No, we use them to do second and third op on a lot of parts.

[@JS-cs8gz]

When tools get broken you loose any gains plus production time. So process reliability is more important than how fast the program can be run.

[@Frank-bh3cm]

Would love to get more background on why businesses like this one move from (densely industrialised?) California to (wilderness) Idaho? Evidently I am not American..

[@JustinBrouillette]

Cost of living and quality of life I'd guess.

[@bcbloc02]

Lower taxes likely paid for the move and the building in one year.

[@LumaLabs]

Dennis is the 5th big shop I know that exited CA for anywhere else. The big tech companies don't care so much about location, they want parts at the lowest cost and the highest quality. They also have insanely good FedEx accounts so everything can be overnighted. (I was doing parts for an Intel project and had to ship something to Germany overnight, so the manager I was working with gave me the Intel FedEx account number. I walked in, gave the address and was quoted $179. Remembered I had the Intel account to ship on... $12.50. Even the FedEx retail guy was floored).

[@engineerlifeskills3573]

Lower taxes. Actively supported by local gov (you're making jobs). Better cost of living. So glad we moved

[@Mike_to_the_k]

We're not wilderness lol we just aren't a massive metropolitan area. It's much cheaper to do pretty much everything here compared to California. Lots of business tax credits etc as well.

[@adammiller4879]

This is a great shop. Seems impossible to keep every spindle running.

As an non US American I have always wondered why every body in these shops wears safety glasses the whole time. Even visitors. Ist there a rule or something like that? At my workplace there are only safety glasses required if the Machine is not shielded enough. On any modern CNC machine with an enclosure no one wears safety glasses.
