Finally REVEALING Our New to us Machine | Workshop Machinery

We have been hiding this new to us machine in our workshop for almost 6 months! It has been very difficult keeping it out of view but we have now expanded our workshop space and put the machine in it's place so we are finally revealing what it is! We are excited to show our viewers what it is, when we got it to the workshop, the unloading and what we will be using it for.

Special thanks to:
Jamie of Mathews Transport Solutions for the safe transport and delivery of our machine.
FCN Operations and Stephen for assisting with the unload.

when I was 21 and honorably discharged from the US military, I went to work with my dad. My dad showed me the ropes on machining and tooling, I am now disabled with MS at 52. Dad has since passed, but I loved my dad, I loved machine Work, and I LOVE this channel. Thank you for all you do!

Having a CNC machine in the shop will definitely make the bloopers at the end of videos more entertaining 😁

[georgedreisch]

My own experience being all manual, I can appreciate your goals and manner of gaining the knowledge / ability.
Please allow us to share in your path.

50 year old metal processing machines? One of them is definitively a "Metal Shaper". We used to call it a "Chipper". Rocks back and forth, chips off metal :)

I've been writing embedded computer software for 39 years. It's always non-stop learning. Good for you, Kurtis, working to keep up with the technology in your profession. I'll bet you find good uses for your new-to-you CNC machine over time. They won't be obvious up front, but will reveal themselves over time. Good luck.

Hahaha...!
Nobody watching was thinking you were crazy for “firing up” that machine as soon as you got it in the shop...
I think we were all saying “hurry up” with getting it forked into the shop and turn it on..., man, let’s go..., let’s go..., Hahaha...!
Love it...
Great video,
Thank you both.

Wow....just....WOW, Ya know what???? That's the Ducks-Guts, the Bees-Knees, the Ants-Pants. AND? the Cat's Pajamas.
😎👌 A COOL addition to your KUDOS Mate.😊🦘

Hi Kurtis and Karen,
Congrats on acquiring the CNC mill. Love your giggles, Karen and always have Homey in the videos. Both of you stay safe.

[marcellozazzetta]

Good day Curtis. Love the videos. I qualified as a Fitter Machinist in 1989 and been doing it ever since. I programmed my first CNC milling machine this week. Self taught on a machine that was manufactured only a few years after I qualified. The machine used to belong to Mitsubishi here in SA. Nerve racking and exciting at the same time. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Keep up the good work. Cello

Congrats with the CNC mill. My best advice number one is: Always use single block mode when testing a program. Turn down feed rate to zero and look at the coordinat numbers on the screen before you push run or start.
This way you go step by step and avoid crashes. It only takes a few wrong digits and the wrong code before a huge crash.

Programming is a bit like you would think.. point a to point b to point c etc.

Good luck, now you can ditch the crayon and ruler..

Hi Kurtis very nice acquisition that this CNC milling machine, I can't wait to see your machining on it, thank you to your wife and to the service officer. 😎💪🇦🇺

CNC machines are excellent at rapidly producing outtake video footage.

The last shop I worked in before retiring was an old shop that was just taking in CNC to improve machine time making boat shafts for the commercial fishing fleet out of Morehead City, NC. I worked about two years installing the new machines, and setting them up, wiring them into place. I never got past just making them move about without smoke being emitted. I considered that a real accomplishment. It's good to see Homey fully enjoying the new machine!

[TrondBørgeKrokli]

Nice one, guys! Good to see you all, especially in these happy circumstances! Also good to see you one extra day of the week, not just on Fridays! 😃😄

[Marfoir]

While in the USAF I ran a machine shop and lots of guys learn In different ways some of our guys went to school, others learn just as well by correspondence. If I can learn it you can certainly. Your CNC iMachine is a fantastic opportunity, it’s uses are endless. Congrats, 😎

[martinmaurach]

The purchase of the machine will turn out to be the least expensive part of the journey. The CAD/CAM side is a whole other expense and learning curve, including the required post processor to convert the NC files that your specific control will require. It's definitely a walk before you run learning process, but since you already have lots of manual machining experience, I don't think it will take you too long. Hard to rationalise spending 45 minutes programming and setup to bore one or two holes, especially when you could have done it on your manual mill. If you force yourself to use the CNC whenever you can, you will quickly realise the value of your CNC mill.
Love the video's, and all the best to you!

[bahtiyorjakubov]

I get high from your videos. The fact that you decided to master the CNC is great! Believe me, you will never regret it!

[aussienebula]

Nice! No ''run of the mill'' jokes here. A handy asset. Thanx for bringing us along for the ride. Cheers
