This CNC Machined Part Brings In Over A Million Dollars | Vlog #67

CNC Machining this Aluminum Medical Part made my CNC Shop over a Million Dollars. This video explains how we CNC Machined these parts over the years and the different Fixturing we used on our Haas CNC Mills.

As a lady engaged in the production and sales of titanium industry industry, I also like and appreciate your style of teaching, spiring, amazing...all in all, too much harvest from it, and I will keep following, many thanks...

Once I started watching these videos and 2x speed, I enjoyed them 10x more.

[codyelrod]

I subscribed. Not just for your knowledge packed videos, but also because you deserve it for all you've overcome and your great attitude.

[Offthechartsoffroad]

Titan you are an amazing person! You overcame very difficult things and still manage to be amazing and keep moving forward. I have had an extremely difficult life and I keep my head up also. I am at 1 of my lower points right now but I feel that your inspiration is very positive and has made me feel like I can overcome this. Now I just need to figure out how to keep my guys busy in the winter months and make more cash because we really rock during the summer months. Thank you for your inspiration Titan!

At the end of my Apprenticeship, I was running a Vertical Machine Center (VMC).
I did the setup, programming, tooling, and running the job.
We had small turning job that would normally go on a lathe. The lathes were fully in use.
I mounted a turning tool in the vice, installed the part into a collet, and did the turning work.
Manager was impressed.

You're a bad man Titan, and as a CNC machinist for over 5 years I have a small understanding of your skills. Especially with your education and support of the craft. Much, much respect!

[juancasillas]

I really take all your advices really seriously, because I know that you have very extensive experience in all aspects that involve the Machininig industry. Thank you Titan and god bless you

[paulgreenlee]

You are the type of person that drives others to do their best. Yes, you get a few bad apples but God always seems to replace the rotten with a better crop. I'm almost 70 years old and I'm selling my 13" South Bend because I'm not physically able to run it like I want to. I'm going to consider a CNC Lathe, a small one in the $7, 000 - $10, 000 range or a CNC Veridical Mill. I would like to see if I could make a go of making parts. I plan to pray about it and study what programs that might help me on my way. You are a winner Sir, Go Bless.

it really shows that you need creativity in order to bring your game to the next level of productivity and cost, and thus stay on top.. hardwork, passion, honest, and attention to detail no longer can cut it. and this “creativity” is what set apart people from the top dog to the rest..

Very smart you ended up on the horizontal, we had the same situation at a shop I worked at back in 1992. We had a rotary fixture that held 12 parts, 3 on each face. The fixture was shaped like a plus sign if you look at it from the end like where the tailstock is. This allowed access to the inside and outside of the part which was roughly five inch diameter cap looking part of cast aluminum. One of the temp service employees left a locator in a part and wrecked the fixture to where it was unable to continue making in tolerance parts. The parts were then moved over to tombstones on a Mitsubishi horizontal with a much better fixture set up.

I really like this guy and what he`s doing with the academy for newbs like me.. Seems to be very genuine, Way to go !

[stevenjones]

I can see that you really enjoy this CNC lark. 50 years I have been doing this (even though I am now retired? - ‘says who’ says the wife) and I still enjoy it but sadly don’t have the resources to play like you do. Keep it up Titan, I enjoy your posts and am learning still.

[charleshubert]

This is what people need to see to understand how to make money. I have learned a lot from your videos, especially work holding. Work holding and approach to machining is key to increasing productivity. Thank you Titan!

[rickfinsta]

We do this with Lang Quick Point point sub plates on the 4th axis; it allows us to have the spindle running while the operator loads parts outside the machine with 2 micron repeatability just by putting the mounting studs on our fixtures. For smaller quantities, we run a Lang vise in the plate and we'll just prestamp aluminum tooling plate for repeatability and make really cheap fixtures to run 5, 10, 20 parts at once on the 4th. By swapping Mitee Bite clamps from plate to plate for the smaller runners we can have a specialized fixture for $20-50 worth of aluminum and an hour or two of programming and cutting.

[MrNathanShow]

Titans, as always knocking these videos out the park with solid quality content! Thank you!

[jamescorvett]

and this folks is how you pay for you CNC in no time at all! Medical and Military parts are the way to make you rich, if you're willing to put in the time and effort. But most high precision parts in high volumes can make you good money.
Great work guys! And thanks for sharing!

[alinnegrut]

Great job, keeps me motivated to continue the job like a CNC Machinist, former CNC Programmer

[keithlane]

Excellent description of the evolution of a simple parts' methodizing, as production numbers ramp up.
Then, when you get the production process running super fast, accurately, and smoothly, the part becomes obsolete
:)
That's when you get another folder full of prints, or a digital folder full of DXF files, and you go thru the evolution process on a new part.
Again, excellent explanation of the process.

[anond]

Hey, man, you kick ass! Thanks for the free education and inspiration. Keep winning!

[mrmojavedude]

Looks like a medical instrument, Similar to what my last naigbor would make, He had 1 Bridgeport, 1 engine lathe, He was a true artist, took him about a month to make one assembly, He has passed on, and it was one of old time machinist that could answer any question, I learned a bunch from him
