You enjoy working with titanium and doing what you do. It’s like they say, if you enjoy what you do, it’s not really working. You’re enjoying your weekend making high end products to sell to people that appreciate quality craftsmanship. There is nothing sad or pathetic about that! You’re a good man Magnus. Chin up!
I’d say the ties are there to keep the media from getting lodged in the hole, and to keep them from sticking to the sides of the tumbler chamber. And to keep them from clinking together and scratching each other.
You're kind of right on this. The reasons include all the ones you mention ...but the MAIN reason is to stop them sticking to each other in this specific instance.
For the skeptical customer. I have been a long time Magnus customer. I would have to say he is the person that turned me into a titanium freak. Everything that Magnus makes come from much experimenting, extensive thought and product usability. I have not purchased a product that I did not use regularly. In fact, I can truthfully say that I use my 2 TiBiner's, about 12 Hookup's, multiple pillpot containers, tweezers , pry bar almost every single day and they are with me almost every where I go when practical. I do not leave the house with out my pillpot containers, the medication I keep in those containers are so imperative to keeping me alive that missing one dose of my anti rejection medication could start a process that may be fatal. You could say I trust Magnus with my life! ;)
Holy Moly Donald ...that's some full-on feedback right there! Thank you so much for your words - I really do appreciate them ...as well as the fact you are using the products we make. Thank you. Oh, also, guess which book I just started reading last night? :-P
@@MagnusMacdonald I really hope you enjoy the book as much as I did but will fully understand if it isn't in your taste. I found descriptive and brilliant writing that created such vivid and realistic characters in my head that caught me. I had never read a book that created such vivid characters like this before. I know your busy and it may take some time for you to read it, if you choose to continue. Keep up the great work.
Another good video Magnus! I'd be very interested to see what sort of finish results from using that "assorted bunch" of media - hopefully it will make it into the next video!
Hi Magnus, in this video you talk about the sheet thickness problem affecting the chamfer.... have you thought of doing side 2 first (the side with the pocket)... you could switch up the operations on this side to mill the titanium to thickness, then machine the pocket...then move the part to the chamfer, side clean-up, notch operation... from there your chamfers should all come out the same....yes?
You're right Ian, I had considered this ...but the issue I thought I would encounter was that the scale would be down to 2.5mm thick by then ...and so it could get tricky to put the chamfer on as there would be very little to hold onto in the soft-jaws. However, I could used another method, such as a clamp, to hold the scale down to chamfer it - which I think would work fine. BUT, the main thing is that I really wanted to just crack into it and get it done. I knew it was going to take around 25 hours ...and so I was reluctant to spend a day or to making a potentially quicker method ...when I could just get going right away with a guaranteed way of doing it (even if it was less efficient). Hope this makes sense?
Brad seems like a cool guy for the MagnusX crew. What I really wanted to know was, instead of the crew from the desert cutting up that journalist from Saudi Arabia with a butchers knife, could they have used your water jet? Would it be to messy? And since the fluid is recycled you may find the water jet works better when diluted with human blood. FYI: I did not claim that those very nice people in Saudi Arabia would ever use such an atrocious act of violence against a brother of the same country. Keep up the great work, can't wait for my Tyke and Flixx! Apologies in advance if anyone finds my sick sense of humor a bit obnoxious.
Thank you! To answer in short, the waterjet could definitely cut through flesh and bone, hence why we have to be very careful to not be in the way while cutting. The water doesn't get recycled at all though, I thought it did before I got here, too.
I kind thought if it could cut titanium that flesh and bone would be like a hot knife slicing through butter. I do find it surprising that the water isn't recycled because the water in the container looks yellowish. I am sure and they must have a good reason not to recycle the water. Do you know what PSI that water hits the material at? I would imagine that would be adjustable depending on the material being cut. Thanks for your response.
@@DonaldPerreault Yes, for sure ...the jet goes through metal like the proverbial hot-knife-through-butter. So flesh and bone would be a breeze. The reason for the water looking yellowish is mainly from the garnet breaking down (or something like that). We can run the machine at 50,000PSI+ ...but I purposely run it at something like 38,000PSI ...because it seems to work just fine at this and I feel it is better for the machine and all the high-pressure connections between the pump and the end-nozzle. Another fun fact... before the water hits the mixer-tube (that's the nozzle at the very end) ...it is "guided" through a diamond. The little head thing at the end with the diamond is around $2k.
Thank you for the information on the water jet Magnus . I am fascinated with this machine. I do have a many more questions but I know you are busy and will find those answers online. Thanks again for all your hard work.
@@DonaldPerreault You can put questions here ...and I can try and fit them into a video at some point. I love the water-jet cutter (and talking about it!)

Thank you Hugh. True - it is enjoyable!
Congratulations on your first flood Brad, what a moment for you! ;)
T'was fantastic! Just about the only place in the world where your boss would be happy you flooded the workshop!
GREAT VIDEO MAGNUS!
There is something good, a calm, that comes from watching your water-jet cutting and all your videos.
P.S. Go Brad!
Thank you! 😁
Really good video. I know it's been out for a while. But it's timeless. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I know it can't be easy.

Ah, yes, I forgot about that. The result was a kind of "battle-ship grey look ...with some scratching".
Great to see things going well for you Magnus👍

Nice shop 👍
How strong spindle motor is required for engraving titanium ? My 1.5kw spindle motor cnc can work titanium stuff?
So the media does not get stuck in the hole?
That is one of the reason, yes. The main reason in this instance is to stop the sticking to each other.
They won`t stick to the sides with the cabletie
Yes, that's one of the reasons. And they won't stick to each other either.
