Can't thank this man enough for doing this, been a manual machinist for 32 years, have run prototrak cnc mill no G code , Titans your the man 👍 I learning G code ❤
In 7 years of doing manual an CNC machining IV never had a single person explain it this way. You da man!
My path to journeyman or "jouneygirl" machinist has just began. Im 32 and hungy. Ive been given the oppertunity to participate in a manufacturing pre-apprenticship program. Applying these lessons on the job with haas vf4 has been such a powerfull tool. I cant thank you enough.
Titan I’m 2 classes away from my Fanuc master certification. I absolutely love how you roll through programming in a logical yet easy to understand way. “Easy” is relative. If you’re at the beginning of learning how CNCs work this may have been hard to understand. Get the books out. Write down the G codes and M codes and what they represent. Ask questions until you understand what they mean and how you can use them in a practical way. Get frustrated but don’t quit. It will click and you’ll be speaking CNC just like English before you know it. We need more people pushing themselves to learn manufacturing and automation with passion. What could possibly be cooler than taking a block of rough, solid material and turning it into a piece of precision engineering? 🤘
Taught myselfd G-Code programming back in 1985 when the shop got its first CNC machining center. I was youngin and hungry, I took the programming/operation book home and must have read it 50 times. I was able to write our first program before we even went for training and even familiarize myself with the electronics. It was very satisfying to input my data, push go and watch it do just what I told it to. Ahh to be young again.
I taught cnc as a volunteer to high school age kids at the local tech school for a few years. The graphics from cam were an excellent way to show the position. Beats what I drew on a chalk board. I think you should have shown the "distance to go" on the graphics on the haas. That way if they single block the first time when they drill that hole they can double check the depth before the tap cycle.
1:46 And you concisely and accurately stated exactly what I needed my teacher to say and instead he would just give me a quote from a script with "the book can explain it better then I can"
I'm also a CNC programer ...I love this machines ... and the most i love the way that you're showing it to us how they're work ....
Started in 1968, thank you USAF Chanute AFB. For the next 45 years I worked as a machinist. First CNC programming was MDI and punched IBM cards to make a CNC tape to run the machine. I finished up my career using MasterCam to design and program a 4 axis milling machine. Last job was working in Physics & Astronomy. Never went to college, but worked at one for 25 years.
This must be what it must feel like when I try to explain to my parents how operate their smartphones and how to use any app.
For a homeshop cnc amateur this is a fantastic quick introduction to the workings of Gcode. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge! Your tempo is great, your style is fun and easy on the mind.
Sadly i've discovered your channel just now, but you guys are killin it! 8 years in the business but i'm struggling on my new workplace bcs i've been taught programming on pc with CAD/CAM softwares, but now i'm on an old machine manually programming and you feel sooo satisfied when things works out well. I'd love to be part of your academy, i've become really passionate on my job and want to improve. God bless you guys and keep it up! 💪🏽 P.S.: you would never hear the "BOOM" coming from your machine. NEVER. 😂
As a 23 yr old working in a machine shop stuck in the past. I love learning from your videos and taking your feeds and speeds and tooling, along with toolpath processes and slashing older program runtimes by 1/4. WE LOVE THIS GAME. Thankyou Titans
One thing I learned from this . How to program cnc easy Just say Boom! Done.
Man, you are awesome!!! I used the CNC machine a lot, but in the last 15 years, I have worked in the Quality Department. I forgot, of course, but with you, Man, everything is easy. Thanks a lot.
This is literally rocket science, I cannot understand a thing and yet I keep watching.
Typing this stuff on an interface like this (while standing, overhead monitor, awful membrane keyboard) the effort being made here is enormous, I appreciate that! But imho having a mental model of the work being done and being able to write / alter the codes accordingly in your head and keep all of it streight (yes there are simulations but still) is the real kicker here! Respect❤
Simply the best basic example of manually coding a part I have seen. Thank You, God bless.
i was failing in highschool, my trade school.. watching your videos i’m going to show my teacher i can do it. he doesn’t try helping anyways. but your videos have helped me understand it’s soo much easier than what i thinj
