Unboxing, Rigging and Placing our HAAS VM3 CNC Machine!

[@pennyantactical8945]

On new machine day the trucker just looks for the guy standing at the road with a huge smile on his face!

[@EdgePrecision]

John, It always a special day when you take delivery of a new machine. It never gets old, no mater how many machines you own. It is a strange law of physics that all machines look smaller on the truck than when in the shop, no mater how large the machine.

[@That0neBr0]

Hello John I'm Harley. I'm a young machinist with about 3 years of experience ranging from manual to cnc And even fanuc m-10ia robot. I wanted to say thank you to you and many other youtubers that helped spark my interest in machining. Everyday I learn and your success pushes me to be better machinist. Again thank you

[@drumbum7999]

that dog was so excited for the HAAS

[@Abom79]

That is just too cool John! Your buddy Abom is proud of you man! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@danl.4743]

Hey! This is the best kick ass "unboxing" video on KZbin! Re Title it. The Unboxing of HAAS VM3.

[@Wongsterwish]

Wow... Wow... Wow.......... Congrats John!!!

[@ExMachinaEngineering]

There's only one way to put it, man! This is a win!!! Not just for your business. But for your business model as a whole!!! You have proven a major point here, and I wish that many young kids watch your channel and learn and become inspired by it.

[@jeffscott5133]

I completely understand your excitement! And, I like the trucks as well.

[@okflyer777]

Freaking OUTSTANDING!!! Finally I get to see a new machine being installed by a proud new talented owner. Its been so hard - for much of my life - seeing the USA getting outsourced, torn down, shut down, regulated out existence, you name it. What a FANTASTIC video! Totally made my day!

[@occamssawzall3486]

Time to make some T slot covers 😉 Cheap ABS plastic. Mill it so it slides into the T slots. A couple taped holes in the plastics and a set screw will secure them in place.

[@eda4985]

I have been following you since your NYC videos and this is a very big step. Congratulations and may all your future ventures reap big rewards. This is what a America needs to become dominant in the world manufacturing again this time as Micro Factories and robotics. Good luck and God Speed

[@mikes2003]

hey John. I'm so glad you are finally moving to real milling machine :). more than a year ago, I bought VMC myself. I did it after learning milling and fusion 360 basics from your videos :). so, thank you for what you do on youtube and have fun with your haas :).

[@GeofDumas]

Look at that thing! The tool wheel is MASSIVE! Congratulations, John!

[@russt4882]

Thanks for sharing! I converted my mill and lathe to CNC after finding your channel and Fusion. Never knew what was possible before! Keep changing the industry with your new machine! You're an inspiration!

[@kylegreen3728]

It's always cool to watch riggers communicate with each other and move a piece of equipment!

[@parnellpollioni]

Congratulations John no one is more deserving of success thanks for all the input and help you have given us over the years. I went back and watched one of your first videos you have sure come along way.

[@grantlesueur]

Congratulations John. Culmination of years of work to finally take possession of this baby.

[@nickhankins5088]

That is exciting :-) So cool to see the progression from the Taig mill to a Haas.

[@turbocobra]

Congrats John! I don't know who was more excited, you or Judd!

[@m96jay]

Man, your excitement is contagious! I love watching this.

[@Ammothief41]

@17:20 Seeing the HAAS being rolled into the shop past the Tormachs really puts into perspective how big it is.

[@63256325N]

That's quite the addition to your shop. Nice.

[@GTRacingPromotions]

Thank you for all the videos you do John. You will enjoy the Haas. My Mini Mill was delivered in six inches of snow last December. I regularly turn to NYC CNC for inspiration.

[@daque1960]

Always good when an unloading and rigging video doesn't come with bloopers.

[@TheEpistemicOne]

Congrats John! Love your enthusiasm for machining and entrepreneurship as well. Can't wait to see what you will be making on it.

[@nunolfprods]

I am really happy with your happiness!!! So excited to watch it ripping big chips soon!!! Congrats!!

[@andydix6243]

I could watch your videos for hours John. Awesome day. So happy for you :)

[@MsTonyhunt]

Well, I thought someone's got to find a negative!!! After 30 minutes mental strife, the best I could come up with is "Well, there goes your families possibility of finding an awsome Christmas Present for you" . Your smile is so infectious I'll just have to admit I'm a teeny bit jealous.

[@polotecnic7816]

I no the vid a bit old,but tears of joy for you.

[@keithhansen3963]

Very congrats, I think you've earned it. Haas is a incredible company and awesome of you to buy American. Prepare to be blown away from what you are used to. I think you'll find ridged tapping will out preform thread milling in terms of speed and ease of use. Thread milling has it's uses, but glad you got ridged. Should be able to wash down that table fairly easy with the full pressure hose. Again, glad to see you're growing.

[@garygriffin3114]

When our Haas VMC 5 was unpacked I handed out the 5 pails of desiccant to fellow shop workers that had gun safes. They had a little moisture gauge on the side, they were all dry. From Oxnard to New York. Love the controller.

[@makun16]

Right on!! The day has finally come!! Congrats! Can't wait to see some parts^^ When you get your multi-axis installed, I'd love to see you do a raw AR forging as in 0%.

[@AmateurRedneckWorkshop]

That went well. Now you are in the big time with that machine. Quite a step up from the Tormach.

[@jimzuccaro6131]

Right on! Congratulations John, I admire your hard work and your success.

[@jaredmaxwell2678]

This looks like so much fun. Getting to put that together, get it up and running, and make some cuts.

[@Collin326C]

We have a VM1 at school along with a smaller mill and lathe from HAAS. They are fantastic. Easy to use and overall great machines. You're gonna love it:)

[@therepublicHVAC]

I do work at the HAAS plant.... it's a rockin place! Their yard is packed with amazing machines headed all over the world! Such great machines! Did I mention USA USA USA!

[@danseverinsen7558]

Congratulations. I think you will be happy whit the new machine.

[@nash0427]

Exciting times! Congrats on your newest acquisition.

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

When they opened the sealed bag, did you breathe in the fresh machine smell? Wait...did I just invent a new manly air freshener scent?

[@Sketch1994]

Two of the best manly odors: Lathe work with coolant, Two stroke oil(they even make it in candles)!

[@BrittWayneSmith]

Don't forget BBQ & old school hardware store smell.

[@beachboardfan9544]

+Sketch1994 What!? you need to put a link up for that candle!

[@Zorgens]

...., and petroleum and hot electronics ;)

[@zaz4667]

10:26 Yeah Value is the best! From my research they are a great value! SWWEEEETTTT!

[@RaVeN85887]

Can't wait to see it in action.

[@odc43054]

Great packaging. Love the inclusion of a pail of dessicant

[@LoST5757]

congratulations!!! very proud moment for you!!!

[@Regalmetalworks]

Congrats again John! Thanks for sharing your dream come true! I am very happy for SMW. Looking forward to all the videos you will be creating and sharing!

[@raudelgutierrez962]

Hard work is paying of bro, great job.

[@danielscheibe8694]

never was, never will be into unboxing videos but this one is different - awesome! looks like someone's got his xmas present early! :)

[@guykhanukov1872]

Congratulations on your new big toy

[@michaelclark4607]

That is a nice looking machine. Look forward to seeing the video of the tech setting the machine up, I am a service tech setting up and servicing the equipment that the company I work for makes. Congratulations on the new machine.

[@MrClickbang357]

Well Damn son!! Not even my machine, not anywhere near me and I am excited!!! We use Haas in college - nice machines! I think you're gonna like it - Hell I know it! Can't wait to see what happens tomorrow.

[@emilianomolina9878]

Congratulations John, I can't wait to see the next video and what you do with the machine.

[@danapatelzick9812]

Here you go, all the way from Oxnard California. I don't get the criticism but I do get that HAAS employs a lot of people in the US. The guys that I use to build many of my parts use HAAS machines of various flavors and the parts from those machines looked and worked good. Not overlooking the skill in tool path creation and part machining, in competent hands these machines can do a lot of good work.

[@DCT_Aaron_Engineering]

Awesome stuff John. I'm so excited for you. Congratulations mate. Cheer, Aaron.

[@PeterWMeek]

I can see why you were exhausted after a full day. I was exhausted just from watching for 20 minutes. Big mix of tension and anticipation.

[@billmoran3812]

John, in following the story of your business, this is another huge milestone. I have a feeling this isn't the last big delivery. By the way, if the hollow spot under the floor continues to be a concern for moving heavy stuff over it, it is easily fixed. A small hole

[@castro1780]

13:00 SHE'S CROWNING!!!!!!!!

[@TomZelickman]

Finally got around to watching this and its amazing to see good riggers at work. That machine looks huge compared to the Tormachs. Looking forward to seeing your path ahead, sir. Best wishes, Tom Z

[@shelbyglazer3948]

Im so addicted to your channel! great stuff. keep it up. you're very good on camera btw

[@cthree87]

Christmas comes early. Congrats!

[@YYanchev]

Congrats John!

[@vincelindataylor4168]

Congrats on that thing man you are the man!!

[@ericwolf5874]

Very cool how much it takes to just move a machine into the shop. It is going to be interesting to see how big of a learning curve it will be to go from your Tormachs to the HASS. Congratulations again on the new toy... I mean tool to grow your business's capabilities. I can't wait to see the video of the first part.

[@mattcurry29]

Very cool John, HAAS is a great company.

[@paulc.schiller9372]

Very happy for you. Have a ball with it.

[@anonim400]

looking forward see it in action!

[@Bobby11]

It is funny watching your videos. its not even my machine and im still getting the feeling of excitement.

[@TM15R]

Good luck with your new machine. If it was mine, a typhoon would have come through just as the truck pulled up. Can't wait to see it in action.

[@williamsavory5274]

nice man, congrats. I just got my first small manual mill and lathe a few weeks ago. Maybe someday I will be fortunate enough to be buying a new cnc machine. Can't wait to see the vm3 up and running. Thanks for your videos and inspiration.

[@eriksonderlon]

Hell yeah!!! Congratulations John!

[@nybgq]

Jack definitely likes this huge woof machine :)

[@kandalfus]

My congratulations for the new machine I wish you success

[@9531-d7w]

The Riggers did a nice job. As a Rigger myself, the only thing I would have different would be to pull the truck out from under the lifted machine. Coming straight down with a load is much better than backing up with the load elevated. Good luck with your new machine.

[@BjornMakes]

Congratulations John! Can't wait to see the chips fly :)

[@jackroman8821]

Beautiful machine, congrads dude! You'll love it. Your HFO is going to include a day of training for the new machine. I would recommend having them show you how to calibrate the probe yourself. It's not something they normally do without asking but it may save you a service call in the future.

[@kevinkillsit]

Rock 'n Roll dude! so pumped for you. Can't wait to see some chips fly.

[@onlyychevys]

Looking forward to the rest and watching it make chips! I think I like that a lot better than my X-carve, but I do love that little machine! Congrat's and thumbs up!

[@flyfaen1]

Congrats! I completely understand your enthusiasm. If it's worth any, know that you are one of the persons that has inspired me to dare try starting up my own business in machining. I mean there are so many possibilities now adays with CAD+CAM and CNC machines... it's almost just the imagination that is the limit!

[@jazzyavsn4908]

A real badass unboxing video.

[@meichler23]

I feel like I just got a machine! Can't wait!

[@jeffmoss26]

congratulations on the new machine!!

[@kchigley5309]

Woohoo! :D Might think about making some inserts for that cart to hold your TTS. It works well for moving tooling between machines, but since you only have 1 with CAT40 at the moment and more than enough tool storage on the machine itself, it could be more useful for your Tormachs. Keep any transport hardware, including the red brackets, together and in storage. If you ever decide to sell the machine (even 10 years from now), you'll need them. And of course...congratulations!

[@sachie123]

Awesome John. Congrats ..again. Will be a good learning curve for everyone☺

[@kmcwhq]

Very nice machine. Great weather for it! Good its a mild winter so far....wouldn't be fun doing this in snow and colder temps.

[@r3vo830]

Can't wait to hear and see it making first chips ;)

[@yevhenkk2701]

Haas is pretty cool. VF-1 and TM-2 is the first cnc machines I worked. A little bit later it was VM-5, the largest monster operated myself.

[@yevhenkk2701]

You can imagine how big is it standing behind only, it is like a trailer size

[@aarondickenson7146]

Can't wait to see some 5axis action !

[@roylucas1027]

Congratulations!!!!!

[@IronHeadMachine]

Congratulations, John

[@chrusb7765]

Great machine, we have 2 of them at work. In October we got another Brother TC-S2DN drill tap machine, that makes 5 Brothers, 2 Haas, 11 Fadal. You'll love the Hass good machine at a good price.

[@partisanguerrilla3167]

TREMENDOUSLY AWESOME!

[@elmarqo_3448]

Ooooh Baby It's here Yay

[@mountainmanfab]

congrats! I know you love the Tormach and you wouldnt be at this point without them but once you get a feel for this machine you are gonna find yourself reluctant to do much on the smaller units...great for prototypes or teaching but the sheer difference in capability is gonna leave your jaw on the floor.I would love to have a Tormach in the garage but I would flat kill to have that Haas and the room to use it! :)

[@mecheng1993]

I don't wanna call you lucky since you've worked very hard to get to this point, but damn I'm jealous lol.

[@techtutorpl]

WOW that is so amazing! Congrats and I am awaiting some cool footage soon :D

[@cdeichhorn]

congratulations. it looks awesome

[@berntinulkshredder]

That is absolutely great and cool. Keep it up

[@TheMadManPlace]

If you smile much wider then the top of your head is going to detach !!! Congratulations on getting your new "toy" on the floor - major milestone. May you have many hours of chip making.

[@beelash]

congrats! it's next level of mashining.

[@DOCDARKNESSREAL]

Fair play fella you've come such a long way 👍
