What You Need To Know To Thrive in CNC Machining | Vol 11

[@Jojomojo4927]

Just started in this industry, and i love every aspect of it! Always loved creating and working with my hands.

[@anthonypiceno4396]

so funny to me seeing dudes in a shop sitting talking with no machines running bc they hate when no machines are running at my job lol regardless the background is amazing for this pod! ❤

[@Join0rDIE1776]

…. Every single shop ever in the history of machining obviously hates when no machines are running… come on mannn

[@TheKandaharKnight]

HOLY SHIT! YOU GUYS HAVING A PODCAST IS A BRILLANT IDEA! Especially having cnc machinsit, programmers, and QC inspector in the same room talking shop is such a power move. Because there isnt a silo of skillsets and lack of communication but a synergy of skills and communication that will allow a blend of specialties that will make the godfather of quality proud. Im deff gonna show my coworkers this podcast. We defffff can learn tons from you guys.

[@jmoore7678]

love the podcast's nice way to end a Friday after work keep it up.

[@shaniegust1225]

Great lineup! Love these podcasts 💪🔥🔥

The one who taught me how to program is the kind of guy who loved it when I used the “what if” when it came to programming it to make it faster and better. When we tried it and the outcome would dictate how we ran it. He was always willing to try something new. When we tried to show the bosses your channel and how much we could save by getting the right machines. To make consistent parts and correct parts they told us that they will never be big enough to justify the cost. I told them not with that attitude you wouldn’t. So with in a year I was gone, because I couldn’t see myself working for a company that didn’t want to advance their game. They are happy being in the top 100 not the top 10.

It’s Sad. But love your story and that you left… I was just starting out and thought to myself… if I can get a fast machine and figure out how to run it 24 hrs a day without actually having 3 operators… I could make $36,500 per month with just one machine at $50 an how. If I bid lower and ran faster… and ran around the clock… I could find success… I would focus on volume rather than trying to gouge each customer… I would focus on solving their problems and in turn it would keep all my machines running. I started with 4 machines and it worked. Went from Barrowing $5 for gas to get to work… to making a $million in 10 months… Thanks, Titan

I wish you guys would start like a company management program, go around the country like Bar Rescue helping these shops stop being so far behind and ignoring employee ideas, this would make companies so much more competitive, maybe it’s just me, I’m just tired of being in this shop with decent machines, and all my ideas just getting thrown away and ignored.. multi million dollar ideas they don’t give a chance..

[@ruebendockery9277]

Yea. Like kitchen nightmares but for cnc shops

[@Duma86]

God I love these guys so much. Greetings from Germany ❤

[@FNmey]

Totally agree. I'm from Germany as well... If some of our shops learned a thing or two from these guys and Jay Pierson, it would help a lot of places a lot!

[@life.is.to.short1414]

Truth be told.. some company like it old school or some don't like changes..

[@tdg911]

Yet another outstanding podcast! It brought back memories of our team's weekend sessions back in the day, where we organized beginner, intermediate, and advanced programming sessions to support each other's growth. This not only streamlined our operations but also fostered job satisfaction. I appreciate the integrity in your approach to sponsors. In contrast to many popular YT channels laden with scripted promotions, your content feels refreshingly authentic. Speaking not only for myself but on behalf of those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with you, I can confidently assert that our collective sentiment echoes my own. Your consistently positive and noteworthy impact is truly appreciated. A heartfelt thank you for the invaluable work you all do. Sending much love and gratitude your way 💥🦾

[@threeaxis359]

I worked for Parker Hannifin wish I knew who you spoke to about bringing that work back. We as employees would love to see a lot of that work come back.

[@ManuelRamcanny]

Imagine how much work Titan is getting back to America just by running this KZbin channel alone. How many shops, including mine, are open now because of him.

[@blakemitchell6039]

He's the reason I feel confident enough to start one, I'm picking up my first machine right now! Thanks titan

I was recently telling a person how the company i was working for had procedures we followed on a regular basis then company B closed and we hired their workers then things were going down hill i was asked what i thought and i told them we had procedures we were following then the new guys came in and were doing it the they had been doing it and not following our procedures

[@bryantburns3664]

So true

[@Dynamic3D]

VALUABLE content you guys are sharing!!!

[@alexloper3084]

Great podcast 💯🚀

[@tobytravelbee3162]

Damn, the small shop I work for does parts for parker-hannafin. Pretty cool

[@myeyessolow]

I wish most bosses and shop managers would watch this...

[@philirwin2028]

Enjoyed this podcast.

[@lordhenrix1510]

What would you suggest. The company I work for “promoted” me to automation manager. But now I’m stuck programming a 3rd party welding robot with proprietary software on it that is not in any other shop in the world and I’m stuck at the robot and don’t get to program or design nearly as much in cad and cam. Should I look for a new job. I love machining. I don’t love welding robots. Except fanuc is cool. But this robot is only in our shop

[@barrysetzer]

I would say talk to your boss, and let him know how you feel! Maybe you can train someone to take your place on the robot and then get back to doing what you love!

[@anthonypiceno4396]

if i i were you since this welding robot isnt anywhere in the world id secure good pay and suck it up and sacrifice but if they don’t appreciate you find something more suitable for you new opportunities open everyday

[@ElixirCNC]

15:50, could you share the process document?

[@kekistanimememan170]

21:12 machines that use tool data instead of tool offset don’t suffer that problem.

[@johnnybrown7486]

What is a tombstone? It sounds like it allows you to run multiple parts without having to open the door.

[@titansofcncpodcast]

It is a metal / Iron work holding piece that sits in a machine like an actual cemetery tombstone… Then parts are clamped to it on both sides… and then you use a horizontal spindle to attack the parts from each side. The tombstone can rotate 360 degrees. We have lots of videos showing tombstones.

[@johnnybrown7486]

@titansofcncpodcast thank you! I've been in injection molding quality since 2011, and my weak spot is actual mold making experience / machinist knowledge. About to start taking your courses, because in my new sales role, in addition to 19 molding machines, we offer production CNC work on 15 CNCs. What machine would you recommend for machining aerospace castings that are up 1200mm long? Some are longer, say 1500mm...but customer has current issue with a large volume of parts at the 1200mm size envelope. If I can get a contract, we would want to get a new machine. Current envelope we can handle is 762mm x 508mm (VF2-SSYT).

[@RoboDriller]

Tool room organization. I'm running into problems with organizing cutters, drills, holders. Vidmar, tool boxes or shelves.. What do you use?

[@kendrom]

I agree that setup can be a big time killer within a machine shop. But I think there are a number of other factors s well. I think the overseas outsourcing, and conglomerate bidding websites are a big one. Also, poor shop management. Eg; Failing to allocate machines appropriately...constantly switching setups.

[@kekistanimememan170]

35:07 I mean for the longest time the reason the work went to China was because being a developing country people work for very little money China’s government would actually artificially keep the price down too, making China very appealing but as the Chinese middle class grew the cost of living did to so it wasn’t as viable. Keeping the work at your country is great for jobs but end of the day if the price for consumers go up not good so Chinese business realised automation can fix that but than foreign companies outsourcing realised they can just automate at home to keep the cost down.
