    I love coming back to these older videos just to see how far you and your team have gone! Truly amazing! Thankyou for sharing your knowledge for FREE with the world! 🙏

    Hello Gilroy , i wish when i was machining my bosses had such a positive and exciting attitude with there employees like you show in your video At 59 years of age my machining days are past , but i believe that your passion demonstrated can only elevate your work force towards a higher learning and a corporate passion for excellence that can only excel your company , all the best man .
  • there is nothing I love more than seeing endmills fly that fast with a huge depth of cut.
  • @bluesbastard81
    Well yah its Aluminum . Also when you cut fast and hard you always put stress / pressure risers into the material . Try making super precision items like that OK for roughing , not for finishing . Also spindles hate high loads and so do ways and ball screws ! Every job requires a different approach. Coming from a collet maker .
  • @F30586
    He said in the video, this is the roughing program. I optimize all roughing programs at every shop I go to when I see how slow they’re running.
  • @jeepmanxj
    Welcome to how its done across the world. 1000in/m isn't unheard of in mild steel or aluminum machining.
  • @mrortiz6996
    Lol look at your load. It will also equate to down time for spindle repairs and axis drives.
  • He is just plugged the hell out of imco tools...and as an employee I appreciate it
  • @golden695
    TITAN's now has became my idol for me to raise again and re-start a new cnc machining business and pioneer an advanced level in Advance Machining Facility in my country Malaysia.. He's totally a genius in CNC's machining world!! Thank's Mr. Titan.!
  • @douglasw7806
    The man has a very valid point. Cannot begin to tell you how many times I've seen people running a half inch end mill taking a sixteenth of an inch axially and running sixteen inches per minute on twenty horsepower machines. If you are not going to use the twenty horses, save some money and buy something smaller. Also, no matter how much of a hotrod you think you are someone out there is doing it faster. I know of a LOT of Haas machines out in the world that are over ten years old than have been run at their peak most of their lives and still run well. If Haas machines were as bad as people say they would not be around anymore. How many Hyundai machines (Same people who make the cars) you see out in the world? None. They sucked.
  • @Ebugster
    The second part did depth cuts which was completely unnecessarily especially at 100 ipm. You need to compare apples to apples.
  • @sheepman6291
    Thank you! I have this problem, and now that i have seen this video I understand the need for faster machining. I will whip out my feeds and speeds book and begin learning.
  • @lenardgor
    Your tools are gonna get dull very quick if you keep going those speeds. Your not gonna have good toleranc after a few runs.
  • @rajmacheruz2613
    This channel and its content, is the perfect example of a decadence in machining industry ...
  • Its good for save time and can increase productivity but as well as it will increase tooling cost.
  • @estbeta
    Titan has some of the best work ethic a man can have. I’d be proud to work at his company.
  • It’s been 30 years since I was a cnc machinist in the U.K. and we used to run high speeds where we could back then it’s nothing new
  • @gt40f
    Good demonstration of the speed/cost comparison. I've never seen it put this way side-by-side it makes perfect sense
  • @GrumpyMachinist
    Titan is correct about adapting to newer technologies. This video demonstrates the difference between newer waveform machining vs traditional profile machining. Waveform is far more superior but it comes with a price.
