Titan? Love your energy man and I have a question I hope you can answer for me. Seeing you going through all those machines brands from Haas, tormach, Doosan, DMG, makino and so on. Do you really get what you pay for or is the price tag that comes with the name is nothing but publicity and at the end they are practically all the same? Hope you can talk to us about this subject if it doesn’t cause issues with brands you deal with as we see soooo many names and brands in the market from all around the world with so much difference in price although the specs you READ on paper ain’t so different… you know what I mean buddy? Thx 🙏🏻 for the knowledge you keep sharing.

The thing I love about titan is the complete training he provides. Even to those that are not even an employee. My biggest roadblock in most shops has always been showing the ability, and then just being stuck in front of a machine. You push for new techniques new training, new ideas, and the people on top are just content with the current process... titan much love from Ohio, and because of you and the inspiration you are breeding in me, I am now look into haas st series lathes and mini mills for the start up of my very own shop. Thank you sir, you are worth more than you know to this humble man feed ing his family!!!

If you're new to the machining game, this channel is one of, if not, the most valuable source of good information about the industry.

Fixturing is an art. It takes great creativity and broad scope of what's going on. But it can save so much time and money if done correctly.

[practicalhvac]

I’m not even a cnc machinist (hvac service tech) but titan is a special person. I have been watching him for years and it’s like a free biography. You went from being caged to being an frame for us all, no matter the trade on life and mindset. Words due no justification at times….

Hey Titan, I’m 17 years old and have so much drive and interest In this industry and just want to become the best engineer I can. Honestly learn so much from these videos not just about engineering but how to conduct myself at work.

[Echo]

Full agree on this! Doing one-off parts, eh do whatever gets the job done. Got a production run? Fixture fixture FIXTURE. The time, work, energy and effort on the operator's side you can save from a good fixture vs a bad fixture is just mind blowing once you go from a bad to a better fixture

[ArnoldsDesign]

It's great to see this about fixtures. As a long time machinist, and part time artist, I agree with you 100%. One of my favorite areas of machining is creating fixtures to increase production efficiency. I first realized the importance of fixturing when doing short production runs on manual machines. Even then it's very useful, but when you translate that to cnc machining, you realize the jump in productivity you make using that technique. It forces you to rethink approaches, streamline your process by consolidating operations on a particular feature before moving to the next. You're basically turning that machine into a Henry Ford type of production line.

[reeddavis]

Learning advanced fixturing has saved us countless hours of machine time and setup time. Thanks Titans of CNC

[tdg]

Your fixtures look like art! Your paintings look like Christian Lassen art. Beautiful pieces. We all have a gift, you Titan have obviously found yours. Some sadly enough never find their true gifts. Silence the mind guys and you’ll find that gift. Love the video. Much love and gratitude

I would honestly love to take a class from titan. I have been manual machining as a gunsmith for just under 3 years, and every once and a while I will keep something as a milestone to mark how much I've improved. I still have the very first piece of metal I turned in a lathe. Not the first part made no. The very first time I ever cranked on a lathe and put tool to metal. Back when speeds and feeds were my goal. Back when a thousandth tolerance was impossible to me. And here I sit, with a weapon I made through combinations of manual milling and lathe turning, and hand fitting. And I have these bits and pieces. I've never worked with CNC, I've seen it. But ice never actually put my hands on a program, and set up a machine. Everything I've ever done was with some old Kent mill and a Kurt mill vice. My goal is to one day have my work today be just another milestone. I don't want this to be my peak and I would love to learn from the team at Titan.

[josephcampise]

Have you ever thought about making your own "brand" of tooling? Like partner with Kennametal to design and make a "Titan series" of high performance tools? Just a thought, but I think it would be a pretty interesting business idea or just a cool experience. Maybe make it a series of videos to explain to people the process of tool design. I absolutely love your videos. It's a great inspiration

[geralddell]

You are a legend. I really want to come see and share with the guys here. No one is doing that sort of thing.

[ClockwerkIndustries]

Fixtures are the only way I am able to do what I am doing. I have about 40 different fixtures, will have almost 100 by the spring. Most of them hold anywhere from 5 - 120 parts on a 6x12" fixture, cutting from 5x10" material, making new ones for the new machine and new products. Fixtures are the only way forward for production.

[TheNefastor]

Work-holding is probably the most unsung hero of machining. Everybody sees the machine tools, the tools, the CAD/CAM, but if you can't keep your work in place, it's all for nothing.

[taylorhickman]

Watching this makes me miss running a CNC, I miss the problem solving.

[shortymack]

Love the way your mind thinks u are a true master

[Captain_Hapton]

I remember having to deal with this fixture a few months ago that was SO poorly designed, I ended up just putting the 2 inch by three quarter inch plastic part in a vice individually. It was designed to put the part in a set of three pegs with an aluminum flat bar with a set of screw pins holding each part. But they machined the bar too thick and the tolerance of the material was so wide, all the material I got wouldn't fit in this fixture. I ended up wasting an entire day trying to remachine this fixture to get it to work when it wasn't designed right to begin with because I looked at the old sample parts that came off this fixture, and they all had damage on the side where the set screw held the part.

[KeithAlumbaugh]

When I grow up I want to be like Titan.

The fewer the operations the better. Great video.
