You get a raise by having an increase in profits year after year… Which is tied to your individual talent and your ability to grow your teams talent and productivity year after year… Which is tied to your ability to have a low turn over rate. And… Truly build a team that gets up every morning to make you money and shares ownership in your vision for the shops future… which is directly related to their future. Sell your abilities to the right companies and go after challenging work that pays well and has repeat orders. Invent your own products that solves a specific need and problems in the market… And on and on and on…

@@TITANSofCNC Unfortunately I speak from the point of hard won experience and making mistakes when jumping ship, but the building industry is like that.

I’m in a different trade, but I can tell you how I made my way up way over the rate. 1. Attitude is everything 2. Take pride in everything possible 3. Go the extra mile for the customer 4. When people see my work vehicle, they see that I care(spotless and organized to the max) 5. Represent the company

My old boss was the exact opposite of all this. Doing even the bare minimum was a no-no, including even occasional cleanup and lubrication. I can't tell you how many times I was "caught" cleaning chips out that were ruining the machines and vises, preventing me from doing good runs. Machines frequently were hauled off because of lack of preventative maintenence and a deliberate negligence. The only thing that mattered was the cycle count, even if the parts ran out of spec for a week straight, even if the customer gets rusty parts on a busted pallet. It was more important to get 1 more part than it ever was to keep the machine maintained. After 6 years of trying to make my way through that, and myself always having the philosophy of "I take pride in my work", I finally decided that I couldn't make it there anymore. So I bought a hobby lathe, mill and a few other small machines for greatness at home, and I decided to try my hand at day-trading. After 2 years of that, I can tell you, sometimes quitting a job is the only good option. I wish I had a boss like this who encouraged excellence. If I did, I'd still be doing setups and making parts for a good wage. Going forward, I intend to still take pride in my work, no matter what it is. Nothing gets my signature unless I'd be proud to say I did it myself.

I'm blessed to work for a company just like Titans. I had just had my second child and couldn't ask my boss for a raise because of the recession. I was working late one night fighting to get a job out on time and asked him what more can I do for the company? He told me nothing the next week he pulled me aside and gave me a raise even though I knew it wasn't in the budget. Prayer and an attitude of gratitude goes along way in ourselves and as an example to others.

This video should be titled How to get a raise in general. As a TIG welder I relate to all the cleanliness and preciseness. I vouch this entire video, as being a boss myself I would like to think we are pretty much the same, we want success with the firm so my/our employees can get well paid and live good. Super good video Titan !! =)

Titan, I have a small fab shop and I have to say, You are an inspiration to say the least. What I love is your work ethic, positive attitude, and the way you have a passion for solving problems. We are in different worlds as far as occupation but we share the same realm when it comes to attention to detail and the drive for perfection. You are a master of your craft and we all love what you bring to the table! Keep up the stellar work! Much love from AZ!!

Must take pride in your work. Be a hard worker and team player and if you have a good boss they should go above and beyond to make you happy. A happy work force is a productive work force

This is what makes those of us on the outside envious of those who work for you. God bless Titan, keep up the great work!

To old now (62) and do not know enough I expect to enter into a shop like yours. But would love to try. Enjoy your channel, I’ve learned a lot from your speeds and feeds for the different metals. I run fork lift mast rails mainly on a 15hp haas gantry machine. Have been told I run twice as much as anyone that has ever. Do know that they took out a radial drill that “was” doing a portion of this work. Keep putting out the knowledge! I don’t get to use much of it but enjoy seeing some of what is possible 😉

Wish I had met you when I was 21. Worked my ass off for a company, started as a chucker pushing buttons, to shop supervisor , head programmer, head tool and fixture maker, making under $13 hour. I thought proving myself would get me somewhere. All it got me was more work, more responsibility, and more and more hours a day. Put such a bad taste in my mouth I have never went back to machining again. I keep an eye on the tech and updates in the field, but I would rather drive a forklift at $25 an hour, with none of the 90 hour weeks and the possibility of being in the same boat again if I went back into the industry. Bad employers kill talent and drive.

I wish that everyone I came across was like you, then having neighbors would be a pleasure! Just keep being you, Titan. You're improving the world by just being you! :)

Man, I'd love to work for Titan. Dude gets it. I'll take these tips and use them at the shop where I'm at.

Love it, that’s true In all industries, I’m from a construction industry and I tell my guys the same thing!

This message is so important. I will be taking note and use this in life (not just work). Also, great answer to "Why do you want to work here?" in an interview.

Definition of INTEGRITY - Do the right thing when no one is looking. It's all in the details and attitude. Awesome video and truth.

Good points here. That's how I roll day in and day out. Things are spotless and parts are in an army formation every time. I straighten things up in the drawers when I can. I wipe the machines when I can. Always have.

100000% !!!! I try to carry this with me into the shop every day

Pretty much where you were when you started, leveraging everything on starting my shop.

This is how I am at my job. I was running a fiber laser with a background in drafting and CAD. I got moved into the manual milling department to learn speeds and feeds and was working 13 hour shifts five days a week. After 2 months someone quit and I got fast tracked into CNC verticle mills. In the last two months I’ve worked 15 hour days collecting overtime so I can rebuild my track car that blew last fall due to our machining department being 17 weeks out on work. Our laser department had 1 day lead times so no overtime. Anytime I have a free second while a machine is running I’m cleaning. I hate dirty work areas. The floor around my machine is a spotless square while the other machines have caked on dust from years and years of neglect. The oil under my machine is mopped up and clean, floor swept, my bench was organized immediately, old bits and inserts returned to the tooling department instead of looking like a game of pick up sticks in my new area from the last guy. Everything is straight and aligned, even degreased and cleaned the 15 year old radio that was there. My machine is spotless inside before I leave every night. I’ve cleaned the coolant tanks on all 6 of our machines and I get jobs out the door ON TIME more than anybody else due to my willingness to stay and run parts vs sitting on the couch at home

You can’t truly be successful in this life without solving the right problems. Have a great day Gary😁

“It’s a way of life.” When someone eats, breathes, sleeps, dreams machining, it’s beyond a night and day difference when comparing to some tumbleweed who just happened to lazily fall into the trade. It’s the way they set their parts down, the twinkle in their eye while they clean the vise, all the way down to the way they tie their shoes! The way they help others. To continually learn, advance. You just know who desires to be great with the same clarity as identifying left from right hand.

Absolute truth. Sometime though it's not that management won't pay more it's that they can't. I worked at a shop for a while when I first got in the trade that had 3 major customers. They were all in the same market segment and similar products. The parts were all pretty basic geometry wise. There where tight tolerances and we didn't do easy materials. It was all Nickle based alloys. They were all small parts. The skill ceiling there was pretty low. After about 6 years I left and moved on place with a more varied customer base where I got a chance to learn and grow more. As I did so did my pay rate. I started there at $25 an hour as a set up guy. When I left there four years later I was the department lead making $35 and hour. After that shop was sold to an investment firm I got the hell out of there. My current shop gave me fat raise and I get to work on much newer equipment. I learned that most shops will only pay you enough to keep you happy, not what you are actually worth to the company.

Recently I saw the video where a machinist said "if you can lean, you can clean".. that is how i roll too.. I noticed that my lathe looks dull if i clean it with industrial cleaner.. so i switched over to a light coat of oil, i like my machines to be shiny and clean. I have a towel hanging nearby to clean and dry my hands before touching the controlkeyboard. Machining multiple parts?.. I also love to align them on my workbench, because it also allows you to quickly see how many you made. Taking care of your machines, your tools and the parts you make, shows you take car of your customers as well.. most important tool in my workshop?.. a Broom.. because when i have a couple of CNC machines running at the same time.. it is time to sweep the floor.. Once you hit the green button that says "Go!".. it means you have time to do something else..

This is a great mindset but honestly it doesn't work like this in most companies. If you're good and efficient you will be rewarded with more work and if you try to discuss a pay increase they will simply tell you "This Excel sheet tells me I can't do that" that's why I personally switch companies every 3 years.

I wish I lived where THIS company is, cuz if he truly behaves as he speaks, I could find a happy home with that career.

Precision must be the starting point. I made close ratio gear sets for the local racing community down here in New Zealand. I had to make them on my centre lathe because I could not get the cnc guys to machine in one operation. I needed the bores and outside diameter perfectly concentric and the faces perfectly parallel. This was necessary so my gear cutter could reliably set up to cut the splines and the teeth and could stack the components and not have an accumulated runout. I machined the blanks back to back, totally machining one gear all over and leaving it hanging on to the second blank via a ring of material that would be clean away later as it was a negative weight reduction relief on the face and its geometry was not important. I would then go thru a batch and then hold on the finished blank and machine the second blank. I would then part it off. Bang, two perfect gears that just needed minor finishing at the parting point. Taking care of this precision at the very start meant grinding for correction was completely eliminated, gears that were finely finished by my gear cutter were perfect and did not need grinding and a huge amount of cost was eliminated without sacrificing reliability. Because these were going into race cars a bit of noise was almost a bonus. And of course, on my limited funding I could afford to make lots of gear kits and made really good money and my customers were happy to pay a sensible price. I am now semi retired but I take pride in making everything precise and quickly. Precision parts make the next persons job much easier, be it another process or simply fitting parts together. Enjoy your videos.

it doesn’t sound like you approached the problem in a reasonable manner. Instead of telling CNC guys what to do, you should have told them what you in fact needed. You would get it.

They exist in such small numbers, they may as well not exist at all

Hey Titan I graduate in December with my machinist certification, will you be hiring?

I know I’m prolly late, but how can I become I great machinist, learning the tools, programming, homing, getting to a certain spot in a program. I run a mazak something for production. And I’m running two. And I just want to be great. Any advice

Respect is something you earn. Some how, so many people do not understand this simple fact.

How long take change over time turnmill,milling

Boom thanks

Titan, how would you recommend getting back into the industry after a bad experience that's made someone hesitant to return? For a bit of context/story, I was laid off just over a year into my apprenticeship with a machine shop due to redundancy and COVID, and for most of it I found the boss rather toxic; constantly invalidating my coworkers' advice, derogatory sayings (e.g. "The only thing lower than an apprentice is the soles of their boots"), calling me slow every time I worked and never saying how to do it better. I'd try and try to be better, but it only made me go backwards. In just under a year, I was having panic attacks, I couldn't sleep some nights, I was sick more often, I'd wake up some mornings and just not want to move, I'd make mistakes or forget how to do certain ops, I stopped caring, when it got to that I should've started seeing someone about mental health or even sought legal action. It got to a point where I called him a bully, I shouted at him and for half a second, I wanted to knock him out. Overall, I enjoyed doing the work, I enjoyed my coworkers, but my boss just sucked the joy out of it. I should've left, I wanted to, but people kept saying things like "it'd be the end of your career in engineering" if I did. I think he just wanted cheap labour for a failing company and people I've seen about this think so too. That experience left a really bad taste in my mouth. Part of me wants to get back into working, back into machining, but another part of me (which keeps winning) keeps going back to those memories and I just freeze; I just end up going nowhere because I don't want to work under a boss like that again, I don't want to feel like that again. Whenever people suggest looking for work again, I listen, but I don't act on it or I just walk away from the conversation. I considered self-employment, but I don't know what I'm doing or how to begin.

I wanna make at least 2 parts in one run on our hurco mill, but I don't know how, I also wanna learn more, I want to actually make a whole part by myself in solidworks and then run it on machine but I don't know how to approach to that point

How much do you pay your employees to start and the average salary? You never mentioned that.

I saw that deburring tool and thought, "That's a weird thing to see in a Titan video. They should've written an op for that." Should've seen it coming.

hello titans family i am watching you from turkey you are very good at your job i watch you every evening i am a cnc operator i am just working on new drawing nx drawing program how should i follow to improve myself i would like to benefit from your experience now thank you

Pure inspiration titan!!!!

Operators used to give me a hardtime, because i would be inspecting all the time.. All that inspection helped me become one of the best troubleshooters.. $Details👍

Perfection at its best. alsome video, gives Encouragement 👍👍

So you gotta clean shop,.....what’s your hourly shop rate ?

Man... Ever since I was a kid I wanted a Job in a machine shop. I didn't care which type. I applied in a few, but didn't get it. I wish I would have keep trying until I got one.

I think too many people ask for more money, more people should ask the question “how do I make myself more valuable in this place?”

Epic...

Can i work with you..i Also want to learn like you..you are the Master 👍🏻

setting aside the a+ advice, that is one gorgeous looking part

People gets raise in accordance of their utility for sure. In machining has nothing called hourly rate,I defied that for years. Success is not related to achievement in anyway.

how do you get an owner to pay attention to the employees so the company can make more?

Titan, again, your sacrifices have amounted to your success, what you lost has been returned 10 fold. it's a biblical deal... joel2:25

I usually clean my machines even 3 times a day at a 8 hour shift g necessary and also keeping the floors clean and when i come after the next shift I find the exact opposite and the boss wants 95% production rate, how can I offer him that when he gives me bad tools to work with, tools that for years they know have been problematic and yet took no action to solve the issue, I have a Ø14 tool that for four years is made way off like 0,2 mm , I know it doesn't sound like much but considering I sometimes work with tolerances of 0.005 mm that gap is huge , no one takes action, we throw away ten drills until we find one that is good and then they say that we're to blame they're losing money, if you want me to give you good quality parts give me good quality tools, because if you buy cheap tools now it's only going to cost you more in the long run

Cleanliness is a tough thing to get through to old timers. A lot of people think it doesn’t matter. I sweep and clean the machines and benches every night. Every afternoon I come in, it’s a mess. Organization matters to customers and overall productivity more the most everything else.

I wanna work for this guy so bad
