Super Dad moment risking him breaking the tap on your project. You let him know what the stakes are, and he neither took it lightly nor shyed away from doing it. What a great little dude. You can not teach someone the "feel" of tapping a 4mm hole, they have to learn it for themselves. Nice Job Dad.
Fancy tap wrench!
Thrilled to see your son with his hands on the tools. He is very fortunate to have you mentor him into becoming a machinist a valuable skill even if he decides to be come a doctor or lawyer.
My Dad was my mentor growing up without even realizing it. He taught me so much, but most importantly wasn't specific things but how to figure things out. That has been the cornerstone of ALL that I have been able to achieve in my career.
Thank you Dad. I miss you.
Jeremy, as a retired engineer who served a 5 year apprenticeship from 1975-1980, I can catagorically state that you have the right to call yourself an Engineer, and a well deserved title, you have studied, learned, and ultimately shown that you have the skillset to be acknowledged as a skilled engineer. You have my utmost respect and reverence. well done sir and may your channel grow with the kudos you deserve. p.s. Thankyou for showing people from all diversities that you can achieve anything, if you so desire.
He's German.
So glad to see a Dad investing his time and love in mentoring his children. This is what being a Dad and a Machinist is ALL About!
When your kids walk in the shop is how I was with my daughter and programming. Whenever she asked me what I was doing I would always try to get her involved. She graduates this fall with a B.S. in Computer Science. Those small moments add up and pay off. I love to see it...
Jiga made a smart move by sponsoring your channel.
I like the service. Its definitely a good fit.
As a sales rep to Mfg industry I saw many industries and gained an understanding of the right metals & finish for applications. 1 feature is a radius v square corners and undercutting joints to make them the shear point rather than something more expensive being damaged.
It's such a special thing when your kids can get involved, I taught my oldest son how to drill and tap on my Johnny 5 parts, each time i got him to scribe his name in it😊 I didn't machine after I finished my first johnny 5 but really missed it, I'm really enjoying starting my second build, machining is so soul cleansing!
You are a true inspiration. I want to be the type of engineer and father you are. We need more people like you in our world.
I love it when my kids come in the shop! Now there old enough to know that Everytime they come in I’ll be putting a broom in their hands..😂 my oldest son loves working on cars and trucks
Just a tip: If you're planning to cut a lot of round stock in the vertical orientation in the mill, take a look at a set of these Mitee Bite jaws (MPN 32166). It bites onto about .075" of material, and you don't waste as much stock as when you use V-blocks. Not to mention it has a heck of a grip on the material. You can give her the beans and not worry about your part achieving low-earth orbit. Great stuff, though. Thanks again, Jeremy!
I think it is so cool that your kids take an interest in what you are doing. Now that I am retired, I have lots of things that I want to do that I couldn't do when I was working. I was a locomotive engineer, which meant I was away from home a lot, and when I was home I was resting to go back out and it again. Thus, I missed out on doing that stuff with my kids. Hopefully I can get my grandkids interested in hanging out with me. Thanks for being an inspiration, Jeremy. I don't have your skillset, but you are an awesome teacher!
I love your videos! They serve as a fantastic reminder to consider the true value of time. With my first child nearing 18 months, I'm learning the importance of outsourcing. First I've heard of Jiga, going to send them a test part today.
Very cool.
As a Dad I agree great when your kids take an interest and you get to impart some knowledge to them while having a great time together.
The kind of thing memories are made of.
Cheers
Also for being so new to machining that part came out VERY good.
I just found this channel, and I am already inspired. This sort of stuff (automation of prevoously manual working processes) is something I REALLY want to get into. Mechatronics in general. And you just make it seem so possible. Amazing.
Plan your work; work you plan, again; Nothing is greater than an ideal that's time has come.
It's great that you involve your son, my 3-year-old accompanies me when he 3D prints something
Hey Jeremy, hope you're doing well! I kinda feel like a kid walking in the shop after watching. I may have more relatable experience walking in, but it's still fascinating to witness the many processes and appreciate the time required to go from start to part with our designs! Take care and best of luck as you keep chipping away at your goals! 😁
Great video and a really important perspective to give. As makers, it can be so hard to hand off part of a project to someone else; especially if we technically have the tools and skills required to make the part ourselves. Great discussion on when it can still be the right call to outsource a part of a project.
I’ve often considered point you made about the value of one’s time. Personally when I was young I had very little money, less skills and less tools. At the time I wished I had the tools and skills/experience to complete a job quicker and easier. Now I have a much broader and deeper skill set, many more tools but I also have a lot more money. I now find myself paying people to do jobs and maintenance I would have considered a total waste of money when I was young because it saves me time and frustration.
If I am really enjoying the work, I don't just ignore the labor cost, I *subtract* it from the total. It's entertainment!
And thanks for this, Jeremy.
Appreciate all the work you've put in and showcased to everyone. Great educational material, keep it up.
You are an amazing father.
Haha what a great energy you have! I just sat smiling when i watched this having my coffee, had to go grab my phone to comment, keep it up💪🏻
Love your videos Jeremy. They are on a whole different level
😮it's just amazing!!!
This is fascinating. Thanks for posting this video.
The biggest value of doing things yourself imo is learning. I’ve been in situations where I’ve managed people and I’ve had someone less skilled take on a task knowing that it will be take longer and likely be slightly lesser quality.
Best way to learn is by doing.
This process was amazing to see. You are amazing. Loved the video.
YOU MACHINED THAT YOURSELF?! Color me impressed, I hope to even be close to that level one day.
I really like your channel.
Thank You ! I very much enjoyed this video.
I think it's important to note, especially for people that only need a single part for a DIY project, is that one-off prototypes can cost WAY more than you might expect. Alot of the cost comes from programming the part so it doesn't matter if you need 1 or 10,000 parts, the programming cost will be the same. If someone needs a one off my best advice would be to create a good relationship with a local machine shop
I don't know what your experience was but I have been consistently shocked at how much better the price is for a single part with this service and even other similar ones compared to using a "local" shop. Perhaps you have a good friend in the business, but I have tried ordering parts at local shops for the last 5-6 years across two small business, and for myself in three different cities. It was ALWAYS way higher in price and way slower getting my parts done compared to digital manufacturing options. And that is after several local shops just said they don't have time for my parts. This comment is a bit surprising to me actually regarding cost. It might also be we just have different expectations of cost. But This service is a good price, and in my personally experience cheaper and faster as well. It is the local shops (perhaps 50ish I have contacted over the years if I had to guess) that don't seem to ever want to work on small projects and charge a lot for taking it. But of course if you have a friend then use the options you have. I just think your advice doesn't match my experience, and I have a lot of experience.
@@JeremyFieldingSr My experience is programming in a machine shop. Yes this is probably better than shop rate and I'll admit my wording was wrong. I should say if one can, develop a relationship with a machinist that has some downtime. But my point still stand, one offs no matter where you go will be vastly more expensive than something thats mass produced and most people dont understand that and generally are taken aback when they first see the cost of their one off even if its a simple part. Home machinists are great in that regard. If they like you they might just charge beer and material. Thats what I myself charge to people that have helped me in some way.
Great work
Catching them young.
Careful Dr Miles. The T-800 may want its parts back 😅
Very interesting. Nice work sir
Those old Bridgeport Series I CNCs were good machines in their day, but the control systems became way too expensive to repair. It is less expensive to replace the entire control system than to purchase a replacement board or pay Bridgeport to repair the board.
You should swap out the flood coolant with a spray mist system. This would allow coolant to better reach the cutting tool.
I have the same Bridgeport cnc with anilam 1100m. Awesome to see one in use.
How a part will be manufactured is so important! My son worked at a place making simulators for some military need, and looking at the layouts drawn up by someone “higher up” in the process revealed ignorance in how in the world pieces could be brought together to build what was wanted.🙄
HEX HEAD EVERYTHING!
I love the 'Beyond 2000' theme music.
A great example for the last paragraph would have been "This part cost $xyz." You also have a lot of sunk cost in that CNC Bridgeport.
Even though I think it was a very good price, and very fast turn around, I didn't want people to get distracted by a number that changes year to year, and part to part. Without knowing the tolerances and the timeline I required you are missing large parts of what determines the price. I didn't want to invest time justifying the price when each person will get a different number anyway. This is part of the reason I went through the "what is your time worth" segment because often people say things like "I can make that for x" when they mean I only would pay x for the material and my time is free. And they have no idea what tolerances I put on the part LOL. Anyway I felt that would send some people on a trail that was off the point. The value was there for me, and each person should consider these variables and decide if the value is there for them when they see their quotes. Knowing this is a option was something I didn't consider for a long time. When I started doing this it changed my work flow and helped a great deal with those projects where one or two items dominated the time/cost of the project and created bottle necks. I can hand those off and the value is huge for me.
Always like watching your videos. Thank you for doing this. I know what it takes to go from must doing your thing to creating CZcams content of doing your thing. You can easily double or triple the time it takes if not even more! I look forward to the day when your channel hits 1 million subscribers. 🙂
Indeed, trying to record a project more than quadruples the time. Mostly because the camera is sort of like having a person who much see and hear everything but can't move or control themself. You have to make sure they are in a position they won't get hurt, they can see all the action, and many things need regular attention like the battery, audio, SD card etc. So you are always starting and stopping. I am not complaining. Only adding context to your comment. Just the camera adds a lot of time and work. Not to mention editing, story telling, explaining, reshooting if you missed stuff etc.
@@JeremyFieldingSr - Exactly! That just touches on everything related producing the videos. You do a fantastic job. So thank you again for doing this.
Dude, you're basically an astronaut now
Super Dad ❤
The big problem with concave parts like that are the internal forces that may or may no be there. Putting in precision cuts first is risky as once you cut that slot along the z axis the material might *spring* in or out of position. :/
I just want one!!
What CNC machine do you recommend for at home, garage creating (i.e. best value for most use cases)?
god help your wallet.
Re: Waste? Got a lot of interest in home diy fabrication, so watched a lot of machining vid. One thing I never understood is the waste. E.g. in this case less than half of that huge, expensive chunk of metal is included in the final part. Most of the expense is in chips. On an industrial scale I suppose the company can recoup cost from recycling the chips. But for the homeowner, the scale will never make that up.
I like the channel, and this vid, just a curiosity I have.
Hey Jeremy love your channel, I have a question I've been throwing around in my head, could add an alternator to the outside of your vehicle and charge a battery (while moving ofcourse) kinda like a small windmill, say on a travel trailer?! Seems doable in theory! 😬
10:22 Awww what a cute father-son mo- WAIT is that a ratcheting tap handle?! How have I never heard of such a thing?
one of my favorite tools in the shop LOL
that's a nice little trunnion
I wanted to ask a question concerning using two thread mill motors to run a lathe.. I saw an English gentlemen I believe doing this by stacking the motors.. Both motors running the same belt and pulleys.. I know your busy..I just thought I try.. Thanks Jeremy.. Very cool videos,I learn alot...
There are a lot of ways in which the american use of the English language makes sense. Thru instead of Through? Yep. I'm with you.
But, calling it a "set screw" while technically descriptive, is not as good as calling it a "Grub Screw", which is what we call it here in England.
Fascinating video as always!
Lol
A completely different question ...
Whats the GNU GPL equivalent for Machines ?
omg omg i got the chance to one of the first viewers
How did you convert the Bridgeport to CNC? Is there a video series?! I have a similar mill and would like to automate it as well.
Nice video! You never told us about the Chinese robot controller, do you have any info? thanks!
How do you like Jiga compared to Fictiv and Xeometry?
How much did the part cost? Should be interesting to know🤔.
With availability of better SLA 3d printers and resins, some of the complex cnc parts can now be fabricated easily inhouse, without expensive machine shop capabilities. In this case, an alternative could be using a castable resin to fabricate a metal part, once the initial resin prototype is verified for dimensional tolerances. Just an alternate for the masses that cannot afford expensive machinery. Using CNC is cool though, was little nervous watching the hand tapping operation.A tapping press(or a self tapping attachment on a drill press/cnc) could make it less stressful.❤️👍
Does a CNC machine replace a lathe machine?
Titans of CNC (here on CZcams also) offers many free courses and online training. Educate yourself before making any regrettable purchases.
if one man can do something then any other man can do the same. you just have to try. 👍
Mate what sort of software are you using is it fusion or solid works? Please help
I talk about it extensively in this video czcams.com/video/DKE36Y5VGYs/video.htmlsi=mpL162CagA0LfyAS
are you an electrical engineer?
I feel like in a business setting it's less about the value of your time, because there comes a point where it doesn't matter who makes the part, it's going to take the same time, and since someone who makes the part needs to make a profit from it, paying someone else eventually becomes the more expensive option. It's more about your available skill and tooling capabilities. If you have the equipment to make the part, and skilled labor to operate that equipment, it seems like it makes no sense to pay someone else to do it, at least when you are operating at scale. Of course, this is where utilizing international labor comes into play, when you approach a net 0 on time gains, the cost of labor becomes the only place to save cost, so you ship the operation overseas where labor is cheaper.
I disagree. There are many reasons it doesn't work out this way. I have worked with and at several companies where this happened regularly. You might have the capability in house but someone else can make it faster thus cheaper, someone else might have better consistency, better cost because they buy material in larger volumes or have machines sized to get the best value form that or doesn't have the same amount of quality control cost but still produces good parts. The bottom-line is you get a quote and chose the best overall value. It is not always in house for many reasons you aren't thinking about.
@@JeremyFieldingSr ahh, yeah, that makes sense. I hadn't considered buying materials in higher quantities to get better pricing, or having higher capacity machines
And, of course, while I'm wondering if I should make it myself or ask someone else to make it, I can ask that someone else to do it in trade. Maybe I can barter some of my time in a CZcams video in order for them to make it without taking my money. Or maybe I don't have a million followers to sell that idea. So many factors...
I can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not but there is actually an interesting point here. There are factors outside of time and money like whether you have the skills (mentioned in the video) but also whether you have the tools which might be yours or at a friend’s house who allows you to use said tool. Some people inherit tools they didn’t pay for others have to buy them. Whether you have other skills or resources worth trading for the work. We all have different resources and options others don’t have. You have to consider YOUR options. Why bother thinking about what you don’t have. The video is about how we all have to consider our situation which varies a lot. Income varies influence varies, options vary. It is what it is. I only presented an option to consider if it fits your needs. Thanks for watching and commenting! This comment is helpful whether you intended it to be or not… I can’t tell. But thanks
@@JeremyFieldingSr As annoying as it is, I do understand that the opportunity to be a CZcamsr/Influencer comes with baggage. Rejecting sponsorships can kill the opportunity to make a living out of this, and no sponsor wants to pay someone saying, "I hate this, I don't really believe in the product, just fast forward". And without sponsored placement, there are the ad blocks we rely on to avoid not using CZcams altogether. Rock, meet hard place.
So, I wasn't really being sarcastic, but calling attention to what I perceived to be the strongest motivating factor in this particular case. But you also bring up more great points. We all have different opportunities and advantages, and it's easy to get caught up in what others have that we don't instead of focusing on how to succeed with what we do have.
I appreciate the time you took to respond and I value what you're doing with your channel. I get frustrated and call out the things that frustrate me, but maybe without the sponsor funded part there's no channel at all. Maybe instead of complaining about the part that annoys me, I could be logical and grateful that the sponsor helped to make this video possible.
That will take time, because usually I comment angry/frustrated (because I feel the "need" to "vent"), then delete them the next time I see them. Usually, while saying to myself, "It's not a big deal, and no one cares what you think."
But my comment focuses only on one tiny annoyance, which doesn't really qualify as nice or fair. I like your channel, and I liked your reply. Keep up the good work.
Why i am not able to see any of your videos in subscription section of my CZcams even though I am subscribed to your channel every time I have to watch your video i have search your channel page
I only post about once a month so it might be that it just looks like you don't see them. But if you scroll back more than a month and still don't see them then I am not sure why.
Oh damn you didn’t spot the holes before drilling them? Probably a good idea so the drills don’t walk on you. Plus they’ll pre chamfer your hole so threaded holes look more professional/don’t leave burrs on the top face. You want the spot drill’s included angle to be at least the same angle as the drill you’re using but it’s best for the angle to be just a bit larger. So for a standard 118* drill, use a 120* spot drill. You want the tip of the drill to contact the material first. Also it would be a good idea to get a spring loaded tap follower to keep your tap straight but it looks like you can’t use those with your tap wrench? One more thing: SAFETY FIRST. These machines have the power to kll and it’ll hurt the whole time you’re dying. If you wouldn’t put your dick near it, don’t put your hands near it. No fingers near ANYTHING that spins until it comes to a COMPLETE stop. No long sleeves/hair/jewelry/etc. I got a file through my hand doing something dumb because “it’s fine I’ll just pay attention”. I did not pay attention. I ended up dosing off. Don’t need safety glasses because you’re just hand tapping? Wrong. A chip can become dislodged and fling right toward you. Happened to me as soon as I backed the tap out. Luckily it bounced off my eye.
CZcams be opening ads that i haven't clicked so they can fraudulently charge the owner. Bs.
You have great kids! My son is a POS. He walks into my shop only to get my car keys. Tried hundreds of times to teach him stuff and he never cared at all. I could have a full robot talking to me in the garage and he wouldn’t even notice.
LOL. That's funny. My boys enjoy the shop more than the girls. But my youngest girl does come out just to visit... not because she wants to be in the shop. Rather she wants to hang out with me and that is where she can find me :)
If that's what his dad thinks about him, no wonder he goes somewhere else.
On alluminum you don't need coolant. Only for finishing and Drilling. And your coolant looks not right. Should be something with lubricant inside. Typically it's white.... but nice one for your first job 😊
It is a coolant with lubricants inside. Perhaps you just haven't seen it in blue LOL. Anyway, I have hear others say you don't need coolant with aluminum but that didn't go well for me. Of course as I said in the video, I was just getting started and probably this is a matter of getting the feeds and speeds right. I believe you when you say this can be done without coolant. I just couldn't do it at the time and not get horrible sounds, and poor quality with the end mill getting gummed up with aluminum.
@@JeremyFieldingSr never saw such blue coolant 😁 aluminium need speed while machining maybe that causes the bad surface. I can recoment the "mechanical and technical trade book" (not sure if u can bye it in the US) but it's pretty good at the beginning especially for cutting speeds and so on....
Not using coolant on aluminium seems like a great way to gum up your tools in general.
(V)
Lost me 😢
I stopped watching your videos when you showed you were too cowardly to try duplicating actual free energy devices. All you cared about was debunking something that is proven to NOT be over unity and then dropped it all like now you've proven all things can't be over unity! You are a smart guy! Apply those brains to proving over unity!!!
Lol I don't think he's Concerned with your subscription
please stop the music
You didn't make that pace. You paid someone to make it for you. Very disappointing. There's no point in watching the rest of it😢
Blocked.
I don't need a lots of words to prove you're a big deal because I've seen it all. All thanks to you Fabulous Hackers web....
Also for being so new to machining that part came out VERY good.
