I can totally relate, I'm a carpenter....Once I cut a door casing too short...So I got another piece...I'm seeing a therapist...:D....I have close friends that were machinist, I've heard the stories...I live really close to Boeing Vertol too...The tolerances you guys work with, are CRAZY...Good health and healthy sales to you and yours...

[@dmickey1000]

NC programming is THE hardest job in any shop! Thats why it pays the most and it takes a special kind of nut to sit in front of a CAD/CAM system for 8/10/12 hours and not go crazy. All of the mfg. jobs in a shop (QC/QA/Planning/Procurement/Estimation/Contracts/Machinist/Tooling/Raw Mat'l/HR/Accounting) are all easier (less demanding and less stressful) than programming. Another thing...a good programmer HAS to be able to know how to do not only programming but the jobs of machining/tooling/cutters/Mat'l...pretty much all of the mfg processes. Any good programmer in todays modern industries doing multi axis HSM should be making $80K-$140K per 2080 hour work year IMHO. One things for certain...a shops scrap rate is inversely proportional to the experience/talent of the programmers.

[@barrysetzer]

Absolute truth!!!

Hello, My name is Rolf, I worked as a lathe operator in a shipyard in Germany for almost 30 years and sometimes also on a CNC machine, but what you do on the CNC machines in the USA is magic, just great. Greetings from Germany.

[@barrysetzer]

I probably COULD have, but people would have gotten bored and stopped listening 😂

[@mp6756]

It crazy to look back now and it makes me feel old but I learned programming on an NC paper tape Pratt & Whitney. We used a literal "type writer" that had a paper punch rig that sat to the right of the keyboard punching hole into a paper tape back then a "type O" was on a completely different level. Fortunately the machine rapid rates weren't exactly scary. In one lifetime we went from emptying a dish of the little paper chads to programming and running simulations of program before we even make a chip. Thank you guys for promoting the trade

[@milkcorez]

Working as programmer for year and 3 months and i'm glad that my biggest mistake for this time was making 28H8 hole instead of 26H8 (metric sys), that happend because i was inconcentrated. Thanks god this was insignificant part. Also better have your tolerance on plot with just numbers than with quality designation:) Double, triple and n-checking is the way to success

Hands down! My worst crash I switched a tool number for a job I set up on day shift, when I didn’t get that jobs 1st off I had to put a proven job back in and forgot I switched the tool. I sent a $3000 boring bar in that was an endmill In the proven program. I heard the crash and came out of quality and the operator was standing at the machine with his hands up and the machine was just smoking. It totally sucked bad. That was my first and my worst probably. But like he says won’t be my last. Needless to say I never did that again!!!

The most costly pricing mistake of all time happened in December 2005 when the Mizuho Securities Co., a division of the second-largest national bank in Japan, attempted to sell shares of a recruiting company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Instead of offering single shares for 610,000 yen apiece, a typing error led to the sale of 610,000 shares for 1 yen apiece. In less than one day the company lost nearly $340 million.

[@barrysetzer]

Thats actually very interesting, and worse than my mishap from this video 😂

[@mattweisbart4061]

That was the deal of the century. I would have loved to have bought those shares.

[@dontfeelcold]

I once broke the software in the control of a HAAS VMC. To fix it required a tech to come in, reinstall the software and set the control back up to where it was before. The error, I accidentally put a letter in the filename instead of just numbers.

[@Tnj8228]

Lol some machines can be so sensitive to inputs

[@BecomingOffgrid]

This is some great advice for every industry, not just machinists

[@williamofhler5613]

Used to have a competition with the night shift to not make a bad part from set up. Had to also get it done faster than required. Did fine for months until I got a program from a new programer. Nothing broke but tool path was wrong. Missed the line that was wrong. My fault since I was supposed to catch it. Can't always blame a programmer when you have the ultimate responsibility

[@alertmachine]

You are a machinist and a wordsmith.

[@thatnewjoint]

I understand that very well. I've crashed a machine and I thought I was going to have a hear attack. No one wants to make mistakes or scrape a part/parts. But I think it's a part of the learning purpose. Learning and become a better machinist. Mistakes happen, it's a part of life. Learn and move forward

[@TheDandyMann]

I've crashed a few at my shop, all older machines. Funniest one was with a bar feeding lathe, I reset the program for a part in the middle of it's cycle and when i went to start the machine the part stop hit the extended bar and the bar feeder started feeding so the bar was coming out curved lul scared me half to death when it was happening lul

[@kokoeohhyeahh7099]

Last phase is the best blessing for me in like 10 years of maching

[@ericsandberg3167]

Being a machinists means you never stop learning, there are always new ways and or better/faster ways to complete a job and this industry never sleeps.

[@fyrman9092]

This machinist experience translates to life in general.

[@saram9590]

Awesome video! Automation happens, if you claim to have never made a mistake, then you're either not learning and/or are the shadow of the person doing all the work. I think one of the biggest road blocks of our trade are people who have no clue what's involved with producing a quality part from start to finish, especially if they're your assigned leaders. Can't forget temperature fluctuations! My biggest tight tolerance nemesis.

[@andersgrundstrom1794]

I did a job once with some semi-tight tolerances in brass (long hole drilling). Temperature fluctuations worked in our favor there, since you could drill it dry, then after a few hours when it cooled down you'd just put a hand reamer through it to reach spec, since the holes would shrink about 0.03-0.06mm after cooling down.

[@trevorchouinard7474]

I can say with a high degree of confidence that I have become a better machinist by reworking/repairing my mistakes. Don't get me wrong, I hate making mistakes, but there are valuable lessons that can really only be learned by experiencing them first hand.

[@Hassanirtza]

Thanks buddy! Really appreciate your help! Never make the same mistake twice ever! And the only mistakes which be made must be new ones which should not deserve firing!

[@rhindy6846]

I got into a debate on LinkedIn with a man and he said he never made a mistake in his machining career(which I didn't believe) so we got into a back and forth debate. In my opinion everyone makes mistakes in life but if you are a machinist/programmer you are definitely going to make mistakes(you don't mean to it's just called being a human). I came to the conclusion that he was full of BS and wasn't a machinist. If you don't make mistakes how can you possibly learn? I wish I could work with you barry and pick your brain because you are brilliant at your job. One of the best machinists on planet earth keep up the good work barry.

[@godbluffvdgg]

That's why they put erasers on pencils!

[@Bastyyyyyy]

You can only learn from your misstakes. If someone says he never made a misstake in xx years of work, he is full of BS or just blame other ppl for their fault.

[@shauns4547]

Learning how to be a machinist now coming from engineering. Everything is spot on in this video. I just learned after a machine control fault that you need to make sure a 5 axis machine goes back to rotation zero before restarting. 3/4 of a degree off makes a no good cavity!

[@MrScienceMaths]

Very nicely explained, mistakes are part and parcel part of the learning/development process.

[@daveyt4802]

Most don't usually make the same mistake. But there are so many more things that can go wrong....

[@harryt622]

I’ve made mistakes. But one place I worked the operators would edit the programs, crash the machine, then blame me. I had to set up a password protected file to save the programs I sent out so if there was a problem I could compare programs. I had to prove to the boss many times it was not my mistake. He didn’t believe me. He said I fixed the program before showing it to him. So I let him set the password for the protected folder. Next several times it happened he still blamed me even though I had proof. I only lasted two months at that place before walking out.

[@barrysetzer]

Sounds like you were lucky to get out so quick!

[@JacobBennett45]

The groundhog comment is so true 😆

[@randypiper7485]

Ha, I'm about 4yrs in on a VF2, and truly at times I don't wanna make a mistake, but it happens. Definitely sucks but only way to learn is attention to details and maybe having a notebook to correct your mistake or some kind of data sheet. I'm enjoying it. Alot to digest through these years with it.

[@randypiper7485]

Not Ha* it's funny, Ha as in cool video, just to be corrected lol

I was making some serial parts and I had to let one of the Endmills run again bc the diameter was to small for the second op's jig. So I changed palets again ran threw the PGM-Head (Usually the preset is loaded in there) and of course it wasnt. I was sure it was there bc its our standards and I ran the endmill straight into the part scraping the part and also breaking the machine. I dont know how much the parts cost but they were big castiron parts. The parts and the time it took to repair the machine where about 20-30k. I'll never forget that anymore I will always and always from now on tripple check everything before I use programms I didnt write.

[@themattrixrevolution]

I had a programmer hand me the wrong variation of a program. It was the same part from spirit airlines. Their was 13 different variation. Well he got fired for giving me -11 holes for a -8 program and repeat this twice. At one point I had to save a copy on the company laptop just in case he started lying. However, those 1st batch of parts failed the Ultrasonic test due to the heat treating process. I quit that company because 12hr shift 6 days a week, below the average CNC machinist wage wasn't worth it.

[@Not_My_Name5912]

I defined the wrong dimension on a end mill, it should be 16mm but I defined it as 12mm. I used the correct feed and speed for a 16mm. when I realized the error and stopped the machine the part was too small. it's annoying how easy it is to make mistakes like this when you have a lot of pressure with your boss hanging over you to finish quickly

[@Bastyyyyyy]

Same happend to me too a lot of times, most of the times was not my fault luckly

[@davidlane256]

I’ve seen a bit of people not owning their mistakes. Very annoying. I always owned mine, and learned how to fix it.

[@brandons9138]

That is the key. Learn from mistakes and make sure it doesn't happen again.

[@XY-gm4zy]

Once I had a "typo" situation. I worked on small part hold by two tall pressure plates. It was supposed to be machined from two opposed sides. The guy who wrote program for it for me in powermill confidently send tool between those holding plates instead over them because simulation showed him tool path drawn as stright line between end of first path and start of the other. I was like "yeah right..." when I looked at this, but said nothing since I knew little about CAM. As I suspected the tool didn't go as simulation predicted and went directly toward pressure plate because machine was programmed to use G0 to move, which as non-interpolated never moves in stright line. Fortunately nothind bad happened because I watched it all the time.

[@samuelwragg8615]

We all make mistakes. When a machinist makes a mistake you can't press the reset button or spell check. It's gut wrenching when it happens but you have to pick yourself up and learn from it. Just remember this... a piece of metal is just a lump of scrap until a machinist adds value by turning it into a valuable component

[@dilian245]

Once when i was programing one of the welding robots instead of typing 20 cm/min "feed" i typed 2 and by the time i realized it just drilled a hole in the part.

[@ZacharyTelesca]

I messed up on a dang prototrak a few times. Just recently was kissing around the outside of a part to bring it to size. Slowly telling the machine that the tool is smaller than before. Then I accidentally made my .5 tool into a .05 tool, taking a 2.5” deep 3/4 cutter width cut strait into a pretty big part. This was a HSS bit on a Bridgeport so the fact the tool survived was pretty impressive.

[@jamespark_85machiningtv]

There are ways to prevent mistakes. Programs and settings should be tamed into the habit of always checking three times.This alone can reduce many mistakes.

[@TheDandyMann]

Yeah, especially with the massive parts you machine all the time 😁

[@5eZa]

my favorite is moving a decimal point in your z depth

I checked the tool path, all was well until we started the machine for real this time and guess what!,,, I left the DRY RUN button on!!! Oh, that sound of the crush boom bam was so cringeworthy. A quick glance at the console and the light was just staring back at me. I was so glad I didn't damage the machine or the part! our tool holders are only about $1000 dollars, whew!!

The only bad part is I cannot tell you which the 1% might be might be the 1 dollar material or might be the 1000 dollar part.

[@Adam-b8i]

I had a typo issue not long after I got into the industry. I had a Varimill that I wanted to program at .008 IPT. It got plugged in at .08 IPT. Now fortunately, this was such a stupid thing that the tool just instantly popped off right at the holder. So all told, the damage was just one nice new endmill. That was about 18-19 years ago now, and I’m still paranoid about typos! Lol

Most of my mishaps were saved by welding/additive manufacturing, so it's not like I've had to throw out any of the $20,000 parts I've had my hands on lately. A lot of my tasks consist of repairing broken parts in injection molding tools or simply making changes to already completed parts, because the customer has asked for a change after they've been running their tests on the tools. Scrapping a part after it's been through lathes, mills, hardening, finishing, grinding, and EDM is *the worst* - so I'm usually very careful about checking my programs and setups.

Hahaha hello from Titans in Texas! A year ago, i saw a guy use a Renishaw probe as a facemill at 7500 rpm 😂

@@barrysetzer Holy Sh*t how does that even happen? Mine broke because i didn't probe Z and wanted to pick up zero on a part, my machine ran with about 10000mm/min into the part and completely destroyed the OMP-60 Probe
