WOW!! An actual video on KZread that does not expect the viewer to know virtually everything about CNC or milling before they start watching. An actual very basic intro to CNC, never thought I'd see the day... THANK YOU! :-)

didn't think i was gonna be interested in a cnc video and here i am, 15 minutes later, looking forward to part 2. well done on making this informative and very interesting.

Extremely interesting. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it!

Excellent video as usual. I am a CNC programmer & operator for a large company and I am constantly fiddling with machine settings to get good parts like the guy from the firearms manufacturer said there is always something going on but man you hit that magic setting it's beautiful. Thanks for doing your videos I really enjoy them.

I just started cnc machinist school,not too worried about the pay but wanted to know,is the pay good?

This was a great bit of information and I damn near spit out my drink laughing when you talked about crashing a tool and blowing up expensive carbide tools. Thank you for providing great information as always!

Thanks Walter you do have a good teaching manner. I enjoy your work and appreciate your advice very much. Thank you Gary Gibbs

Well said Walter! You make it easy for anyone to understand. And your sense of humor is the "Shiz-Nits"! 😜

I'm just finishing up the final semester of a Machine Tool Tech program, and . . . this is spot on!

Great simple explanation of CNC machining Walter!

Finally, a video on CNC machines for the novice. Thanks, Walter.

You sir, are AWESOME in explaining things. THANK YOU. You even explain the little bits. THANK YOU. You boss. Also I love your humour :)

My partner works with cnc machines so I wanted to learn more about them. Thank you for explaining them!

Loving the CNC videos. Great!

As a CNC machinist myself, the saying goes "If you've never crashed a CNC machine, you've never run a CNC machine"

Really nice job explaining the digital machining world. :-)

Super Vid bro ..keep um coming man!!

Great video for starting out. Been programming just shy of 30 years. Started machining on all manual machines, then on CNC'S. Used a bunch of CAM packages. Now I program everything by hand. My boss doesn't believe in CAM, he says it always makes unnecessary air cuts, which wastes money. I have to agree. But man, sometimes it takes a full day to program stuff.

Never really have been into knifes, but these videos makes me really satisfyed somehow

Very good video Walter.

Look forward to more videos on this!

Right on for getting everything going Walter. It's easier said then done thanks for sure. 👍🏽👊🏽🤑

This is a great introduction to cnc, thanks.

Walter this was by far the funniest video you have ever done !!

some good info, got some experience with metal lathing, forging, welding, and milling in my 3 semesters of metal classes in my high school. No cnc for me, could have but I chose otherwise. I took a CAD class at my school as well! Got fairly good with AutoCad

GREAT explanation of CNC process for the novice. I took the darn community college course, (AutoCAD, CNC-CAD courses, and all sorts of 'esoteric' magical looking stuff) and the job market is flooded with young guys, I can't find a job in that field to save my life. But If I hit the lottery, I'm READY TO GO! My shop will be all modernized. This getting old stuff is for the birds. Will work cheap for money or barter on machines & tools! EXPERIENCED ! (I couldn't resist!)

I'm starting a machinist apprenticeship I really appreciate the video!

Good video and editing between screens and part

I loved this.

I plan on sharing this video with some of my new machine operators. there are few out there thinking we just wash parts in our cnc machines.....

well done. I learned much.

Your work 👌 is helpful for students 👍

That was a pretty interesting analysis. CNCs are indeed revolutionary tools and require an experienced user in order to operate correctly and do their magic. But if you enjoy spending time on your shop working with your hands and getting away from the computer in front of which you sit all day, I guess CNCs will not work. Also you need to spend a really good deal of money in order to get a good quality fast machine. So In my opinion CNC is a really cool tool, but it's definitely for professionals that need to get their job done really fast and accurately!

Is there any training you can take for someone with no experience, I am very interested in working with Cnc machines for wood and metal projects

What's a good small cnc that I could strictly use to make knife scales out of G10, CF, kevlar etc? Any input is appreciated. Thank you!

Walter here's a question for you if you where just getting started with CNC milling and money was no object would you buy the Tormach to learn on instead of a Haas because it wouldn't be so bad when you crashed the Tomach or would you get the higher end machine.

You have the best equipment.

I've taught myself all this stuff in about a month not the greatest but I was able to do a job for a knife company and they are happy with it sofar

Are there standard tools/bits that can be plugged into the software? For example, if printing on paper, I have to tell the printer what size the paper is, but there’s the standard 8.5x11 I can enter instead of a custom size.

Great Video.. Thanx.

Hi Sir thanks for the video... this got me thinking would appreciate your input if u know If someone wanna become CNC Setter & Operator they must also learn how to interpret engineering drawings, does that mean they HAVE TO also master Autocad and be able to draw themselves? i'm not talking here about if they wanna work as self-employed like what you seem to be doing, but i mean if they get employed somewhere.... i wanna have an idea what type of courses/background a CNC operator should have.

is ur g-code program in your fusion 360? or is that a diff explanation

Very well done video, on the whole crashing situation you should always dry run/ run it above the material first to make sure the program actually does what you want it to do. The machines are both incredibly smart and incredibly stupid, they'll do exactly what you told it to do no matter if it ends up killing itself. I program manually and the amount of times I've run a tool rapid into the material because I forgot one G1 is ridiculous.

Yeah, I did a dry run not two minutes before I crashed the tool in this video. It was off by 40 thou and I didn't pick up on it.

Getting off my CNC job and watching videos how to do more :)

I like the video. You must sell a lot of knives. I ran cnc's for 20 years in the aerospace industry. It sometimes costs more than the machine itself to buy all the options and tooling to make your parts.

the best way to get any Autodesk programme is to enroll in a basic course (as short as 2 days) they will sell you a student edition for around $100. the only difference being if you print to paper there is a watermark on the border. which you can make so small as to be unreadable...

Nice Video Walter! In the market later this year, Oss! Stop into GBWC sometimes, Thanks J.S. Johnston (Jon)

Good video. Funny too.

what are we looking at for everything that you have here?Price I mean. one nice thing is once you make a program,you can just reload the program you can bring it up over and over again.

as always informativ, spot on the point....must be that marschal art training ;)

Are you going to CNC the bevels, or are you still doing that on the belt grinder? I'd imagine you'd need some very creative jigs to cnc bevels and keep things stable under the endmill.

@jlamar362

Nicholas Killmeier not so much, if you can program the bevel, you can set up a fixture to clamp a blade in, that has been run on side 1, so you can support the bevel to machine side 2. not hard, its a bit more involved making tool paths so you clear the clamps, tho...

Well Done,

Thanks for being too kind

seriously though. what mistake did you make that caused your carbide bit to break?

Good job,, Years ago, in Japan, the Red And Green were reversed. The Green button was off, because off is safe.. And Red was on, because on is dangerous. .. That is what it used to be,,, anyhow... jfyi.... tanx and keep up the good work. ...

Cool.

Hey Walter, did you just have a mop chop?

First!!! lOVE UR VIDS wALT

I feel so out of touch with modern tech. As a teen I worked with old NC punch tape machines. I could take a tape that kinda remotely favored the part I needed and change it around to make what I needed. I then got a Hurco conversational mill. Now with this new stuff I'm lost.

I have been getting into cnc for about a year with small machines at work . Every thing said is dead on. especially with the first time running a new code . hit the button a horrible noise sometimes a broken cutter all before hitting the emergency stop. Yup. BEEN THERE.

cool

nice cnc information, all though i still dont have a cnc. nice video. but what happen to blacksmithing knives.

4:48 LOL

And where is the footage of the sadness and mopping that ensued after the s10000 m08 line? 😂

It's just like running my 3d printer all fun and some work for time to time

Looks like you are cutting G10? I hope you are taking the appropriate precautions to avoid lung cancer from the dust. I would suggest cutting underwater or at least add a dust vacuum to the spindle. Nasty stuff.

Let the guy who has never personally used a CNC tell you how to use it(sarcasm), But from watching John Grismos videos you really need a better way to keep your chips away from the working area. I'm sure you already know that and have something coming down the line.

If you want to learn CNC...buy a CNC and just get on it. Thousands, maybe millions, of ordinary people with ordinary brains (including me) have all figured it out. The learning is in the doing and believe me...it is very much doable for everybody. You design the project in software (millions of free videos to learn how). You then put that design on a memory card and plug it into your CNC machine. You tell the machine how deep to cut...what tool you are using..and what speed. All things you can learn for free on youtube. None of this is really that hard. It just seems hard when you don't know anything about CNC. Once you do...you will look back and say..."that actually wasn't anywhere near as confusing as I thought it would be." Do you really think all these people with CNC machines are somehow smarter than you? No, they simply bought a machine and got started. You can do it! I did...and I have average brains.
