"I never just think its going to be good. I just get quick at double checking my work so I can have success." Titan. Epic words.

[@DCT_Aaron_Engineering]

Excellent work Titan. Thank you for everything you do to promote the trade and bring manufacturing back. BOOM!

[@MrYockwar]

I like this dialed back version of titan a lot. Seems like a great teacher

[@victorvickiee8912]

Hi am from kenya and am interested in learning cnc milling machine

[@christianarreola7434]

Do you have a video explaining how you calculate feeds and speeds?

[@mamdouhnoshy7377]

"Thank you kindly for your efforts, and for your time. I do learn lots from Mr. TITANS of CNC: Academy."

[@justinl.3587]

Pay special attention to 8:30 when he is setting the Facemill. Manually setting the Facemill or even using a tool setter, it's EXTREMELY important to rotate the cutter and check each insert. What Titan did there should be a lesson. One low insert and you're screwed.

[@briancnc]

You should watch it again, he even said he did it and showed it in the video. He did a manual set on one insert in the video and cut to the finish but said he rotated it and checked every insert in the tool. I also suspect he checked the tool before he put it in the tool changer as most do with setup procedure.

[@nitchmakes7550]

I’m a youth apprentice who is working in a machine shop. My goal is to become a Machinist. This video helps because the shop I work in runs Haas CNC mills and lathes. I’m getting trained how to run them.

[@TITANSofCNC]

Make sure you devour academy.titansofcnc.com

[@nitchmakes7550]

TITANS of CNC: Academy Thanks 😁

[@pendago8484]

Those parallel pop-ins are great. I had more than once had to drill out a bolt after it would not loosen and broke.

[@comictrio]

How is miss this industry. I left it here in Oregon in 1993 because the legislature decided to wipe out our heavy industries and nearly every machine shop was forced to close down.

[@Zivon23]

Good job rotating the cutters. So many forget about cutting edges being different heights.

[@tomazbeg1999]

Thank you for being here

[@dreef00]

Thank you for your academy, I started using Fusion 360 a year ago and thought I had wasted my time when I found that lots of people use solid works and catia or Simens but you do have training with Fusion 360. Thank you very much for your videos

[@wespiatt8041]

Have you ever tried shrink fit tooling for your endmills? You would be amazed at how much harder you can drive tooling with them vs a solid set screw holder.

[@TITANSofCNC]

Keeping it simple and cheap for students.

[@johnhansen1684]

shrink fit is a game changer:D the holders are just ammazing

[@ipadize]

we use them all the time but the downside is if you break an endmill and fail to extract it from the toolholder (including it has an edge inside and wont fall out) you have to turn it around and hammer it out with a rod smaller than the hole if its an old toolholder

[@marchanson711]

I learned a great deal watching this older video. The process really downloaded into my brain. Thanks.

[@DUCKS2525]

More Please! Love what you do!

[@TITANSofCNC]

Los more coming on my Free academy.titansofcnc.com

[@vitankarshreyas]

I have a question...after finishing this operation , how are you going to remove that excess material which was in the clamps above the parallels with rectangular shape ????

[@meisenhut31]

You could flip the part over and hold it in a fixture that's designed to hold the odd shaped circles and do more operations to remove that excess metal. Creative workpiece fixturing is a big part of what separates a good machinist from a great machinist.

[@ipadize]

those parallels are actually really nice, i hate it when i finish a part and then have to clean the parallels and put them back on their place

[@CampingCato911]

ipadize use a spring between parallels and they don't move around on you they stay in place and chips don't get between them and the jaws. tho if it's like a huge production they might after time. clean them once in the morning

[@machinemad4666]

yes i use the metal cable ties that material suppliers strap the bars together with. just bend it into a triangle and put between the parallels :)

[@DRPLAYG]

What are those parallels called? Or did he make them?

[@cncwulf5605]

Nice job, everything ok, but You forgot to measure it, check holes are correct radial and gauge is ok ! :) We dont live in perfect world, where all the tools are perfect, even when they brand new :)

[@abidahsan7389]

i suggest you to use kennametal hydraulic tool holder for better result .

[@duaneroot1966]

Titan my hero

[@nathanhood4800]

Awesome stuff titan! As a cnc operator myself I appreciate everything you do for us!

[@abzjay7959]

Hi I'm a student and I'm very curious as to how Mr Titan set his work offset. Don't we normally just touch the part with an edge finder and deduct the diameter. 🤔

[@ollie6512]

He did

[@furnimaker]

What did you end up changing the speeds and feeds to for tool 3 on the adaptive clearing tool path?

[@rakibmahamud355]

I can contact with you ...?

[@b-creativeideas2793]

Amazing what your doing Titan. Your organization and marketing is AWESOME. Do you do this all yourself? What do you use for the marketing and videos that come out so good. Thanks for doing what your doing for kids and heck even us that have been around machining but never got involved with actual machining. I have been in the aerospace, health science and appliance industry and lots of folks always say that this is a dying breed, but you have figured out how to make it relevant and fun again. Good on you. Congrats to all the success you have you deserve it.

[@TITANSofCNC]

Check out my Free academy.titansofcnc.com Also have a great team!

[@royevenmland9182]

You are awsome titan, i feel im learning something from you. But it is a bit hard for me when i am a norwegian guy, but im still learning from you little by little, and i like your videos

[@kennethfajardo5121]

hello Sir, I have a question what do you mean by making the tool zero?

[@OGbqze]

makes me smile every time

[@billweber1340]

Hey Titan, I don't like how you taught your tool offsets. Wouldn't you be better off making the top of your setting disc Z0, teach all the tools to that and then dropping your work offset? Your way involves adjusting each and every tool - a lot more opportunities to make a mistake.

[@creative6675]

First sorry for my english I agree with you. Better way is to set the zero in Z axis on the 3-2-1 block puted on the table or stationary jaw of vice and Johanson's dipstick puted on the 3-2-1 block. After setting zero in Z axis on Johanson´s dipstick clamp the tool in to the spindel and go above the Johanson´s dipstick. Roll the tool down until the dipstick begins to rub against the tool. Then on the machine panel in the Z colum is the heigh of the tool which is important to put in the OFFSET table to the tool number which you measured right now (it will be always positive value). After all tools are measured than you put the zero point in Z axis on oyur workpiece. and its all you can run the part without any adjusment of tools in offset page like this Titan. This method is good and better because now you can clamp your part in another Z heigh and you don't have to touch off all tools again, just set the new Zero point in Z axis. The easiest way. if oyu want to learn more from me so send me a message to [e-mail] and I will make video for you how to measure tools in the machine (we yousualy used presetter but its work as this method below).

[@flagmedownmedia]

I'm not sure what to say about this method of edge finding. You've got a renishaw probe system on this VS6 SS, you could use the renishaw spindle probe, and probe the x,y,z axis. If you needed to run another part you can probe the next "blank stock" and have the Hass NGC's adjust your work offset's as required.

[@gripalliance9353]

He said he wasn't using it because its for education purposes. Not everyone has a Renishaw system.

[@victoriapublic]

Thanks for the tip about not putting the stock on the side of the vice, I had a 3 in by 7 in peace of 4140 steal fly out and break a end mill. by the way love the videos. :)

[@pp2devane]

This was really interesting. But how would you remove the bottom part which couldn’t be cut because it was clamped down?

[@hhk342]

Waiting to see more cutting till that time thanks

[@gredangeo]

6:02 There seems to be quite a big gap between the tool holder and the spindle. What's up with that? The CAT40's don't have that large of a gap. You can even see some of the taper not being held on. Why?

[@yuri2006]

Fantastic tutorial! Really appreciate it my friend. Please keep doing what your doing. It's really helping me out!

[@Built82F100]

My question is how is the bottom machined? How would you fixture it?

[@alisherfozil5568]

Thank you

[@StuckInNE]

Man, I miss machining so bad. Awesome job on the vids.

[@michelrosier468]

No digital probe? Love what you're doing though, keep it up!

[@ajithk5316]

Please display feed,speed, material during video playing time

[@alexanderrode6983]

nice tutorial and video ! Greetings from Germany

[@173roberto]

Titan, How hard do you know you can push the tools and the material?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Recommended IPT and SFM from tool manufacturers and from experience

[@Cara.314]

Workholding conditions, rigidity, and spindle power are also important.

[@CNCGuy]

@@TITANSofCNC ... I'm wondering how fast you run 304L . I did a trial not too long ago in a shallow wide pocket .187 deep. 5x5 square with 2inch hole in center. I used Guhring RF Diver .500 4 flute endmill... .050 DOC I think 600 SFM at .0025 Chipload. I remember the feed was 180 ipm.... I ran it DRY with a worn endmill! Only 4 parts though just to see. I was impressed. It happened to be in a UMC 750 5 axis machine.

[@MinhDIY]

great video . you help everyone all about CNC . thanks

[@MrSuperchargedv8]

I am wanting to get into cnc and learn how to operate a cnc machine. I have a need to make custom parts at times for projects. I will be starting from scratch. I have worked with auto cad and inventor in the past but never transferred drawings to a machine and have never operated a machine. I am thinking of skipping the desktop cnc route and going for a used industrial grade machine; i would have to go used because of price. Any recommendations on a first machine or suggestions on how to efficiently go about learning the trade?

[@TheGriffon22]

Did you dial back on your speeds and feeds on your toolpaths??

[@southoboy1]

so I heard from a friend at work that said edgefinders are designed to run at 1000 not 1200 rpm, even though even at school in milford being taught to always edge find at 1200

[@denisb0rman622]

800 rpm is okay! no need for more than that! That's what I usually run at!! never had problem! usually within in couple tens!!

[@BrodeySheppard]

Yo this was so educational this is sick!

[@user-pr2fy2oi5k]

hello, thank you for the video. please tell me, what about machining of a bottom of the T-8M? how you clamp it, and adjust edge and z-hight?

[@genesisprecisionllc4331]

Strength and Honor!

[@nailedart4431]

Yeah Titan Boom, right on.

[@ratman396]

what do you do about the left over stock on the bottom?

[@TITANSofCNC]

Flip it and deck off the bottom.

[@denisb0rman622]

Soft Jaws Fixture for Op2

[@gasolinelollipop]

@@TITANSofCNC Does that require a separate code or do you do it manually with the shell mill? Thats the part Im always trying to figure out.

Titan I love watching your videos brother. There's a lot of hate out there on you and haas just keep brushing it off man. I run haas everyday there a great machine for the price and your a great role-model for this field. With your past to be able to do what you do today is the American dream!

[@ravisinroja9104]

hello .. Titans.. I have questions that how to taper(1.5 or 5 degree) part complete in few minutes. (without taper cutter) just endmill or ballmills

[@danking3093]

What watch is that Titan?

[@jeepmanxj]

Don't set tools on precision ground matched inspection tools like 123 blocks. If you need something to set tools off of make a block with a known height to do it with.

[@Krispykashew]

why not have a set to set tools with and a set to inspect with?

[@briancnc]

He was trying to show you how to do it with students in mind. He used tools/methods that were the easiest and most accessible. As he said he would normally use an auto z plate/setter but wanted to show a manual method. They are precision ground blocks but he only made contact with his cylinders that he machined for this.

[@universalcncacadamy191]

Excellent work sir Hope new videos from u Thnx lot

[@alexwiktorski2648]

What type of 1/2 endmills do you suggest for roughing 718 inconel? I need an inch and a quarter flute length.

[@gripalliance9353]

ive always heard ceramic for Inconel, that's on a lathe of course....

[@timmallard5360]

Great Video! is the HASS offset page you were entering 2" into secondary to the G54 (or what ever offset) you were using? I like that vise stop too!

[@gripalliance9353]

hass has a tool offset page and a work offset page. just keep pressing offset until you get the page you want

[@CaptainDammiit]

titan, where can i purchase one of those 1/4" spacers at? The shop i work at they want you to use a piece of copy paper and adjust from there. Its rather disappointing to me how they want it done.

[@TITANSofCNC]

I just made it... .250 Thick x 1.0 Dia... in tenths. Joe Block would work

[@zunuf]

It's just a gage block, you could use anything, paper, shims, 123 blocks, or a dial height setter. What's important is that you know the size. If you use a block instead of paper you need to start with the tool lower than the top of the block and raise it up until the block slides under. Start with .010 moves until it goes under, lower it a click and go to .001 moves, repeat until you feel it just slide under without too much force on .0001 moves.

[@brandonfedorick8106]

Using paper for setting tool offsets sounds weird but it's one of those tricks from before the CNC days that still works well today. Jog the tool down while moving the paper back and forth, and stop when you start to feel friction. Measure the paper you're using and subtract that from your tool offset. Sticky notes work really well and usually measure at 0.003", but some people prefer cigarette rolling papers which are thinner.

[@CaptainDammiit]

TITANS of CNC ah okay, well I appreciate the reply. Absolutely enjoy the videos you put out. I'm fresh out of school and what you've been doing helps me out with basically only school experience.

[@CampingCato911]

Mmm... VF6SS. Just need the work for it though. Every once in a while a big plate will come thru and I'll be like "a big machine would be nice."

[@Malice11029]

great vid this machine cuts aluminum at high speed like butter, good instruction on process order with 1st run.. it kills me a little inside though.... to see your machine draining coolant all over the tool tapers QQ this leads to all sorts of beautiful corrosion in places you don't even want to think about if you're using water based coolant... I try to M9 on the last G0 up before tool change so it drains as the head is moving up to the changer height(what good is cooling tools cutting air anyway?!!)

[@ShumbilikS88]

Nice :) love this :)

[@arindammajumder5957]

Is it true that G code automatically generated by the cnc

[@krispyduck7592]

G code is generated through the programming software when U convert programs to "NC program"

[@sarathipaul7909]

Boom that was damn cool.

[@creative6675]

oooh yeah he run the part faster but what about accuracy? he didnt measured the part so we dont know how accurate it is when he adjust the speed and feeds

[@360excursion8]

I like BOOM

[@speedonsteel]

How do you remove the material from the bottom of the part?

[@rasmuslappetelainen4866]

You can use precision saw☺️
