You can tell Frank programmed and set up these because he knows exactly when to close the door lol.
Another great tour John
Great video John. Would love to see more about how the shop is organized. I find many of these shops have great simple organizing tools they use that can be applied to the smaller shops.
Now I see how machinist can drive in a rain storm full speed
We have all MariTool holders for our DT1 (bt30). Great affordable toolholders.
An idea for an insane drinking game... Every time John says "insane" you take a shot. Spoiler, you'll be drunk 2:30 into the video.
Andrew Delashaw Holy cow!
I love John's enthusiasm. Makes me smile.
Haha! I was thinking the same thing about "oh my God" and "holy cow".
chronok - Yeah man, how dare he be excited about his passion. Wait, how dare he be passionate about what excites him. Errr, ill figure this out... just hold on... give me some time to understand how you should react to something that would make you react a certain way, without reacting that way...
We should all chip in and buy him some new adjectives. I love his enthusiasm and passion but "insane" loses its value after 9 or 10 uses in the one video heheh.
Great tour, thanks John!
It is interesting that a lot of the factories you visit have Zeiss tools to measure. John if you are ever in Germany, Thuringia you should try to get into their Zeiss plant there. They have open house sometimes where you can go into every part of manufacturing.
One of the best / highly regarded lens brands on the market.
Yes! Finally another factory tour!
Never clicked so fast. Another Factory Tour!!!!!!!
Wait till you meet This old Tony fan, then you will see a fast clicking.
Impressive to see it being done right.
Thanks to Maritool and John for a great look inside a real classy operation.
Hi John, love the factory tours, love the enthusiasm. Keep them coming!!
thanks!
Baily approves of their pet bed!! I didn't know they made tool holders smaller than Cat50. :-) lol
Can't wait to see what you do with that Cincinnati :)
LOL!
When you're a machinist in austria it feels weird to see a machine running with an open enclosure.
I noted that too. Operator door safety interlocks are not a huge concern oddly. Neither are safety glasses. Their insurance underwriter would birth a calf if he saw that.
Noticed it too
*shows off what is probably a $50k measuring machine for measuring concentricity of a taper*
*pans around to guy with an indicator checking concentricity with inner bore*
Just a little humor. Cheers. :)
tiger12506 obviously they don’t take their quality department seriously.
Great tour John. It's terrific to see where these (and other) tools originate and the people/process behind them. Just not possible before YT and folks like you who have the enthusiasm and dedication.
Great products. I use Maritool holders and collets exclusively at my shop. Thanks for the tour!
Great video, John. Frank and Tom make a fine product that’s a joy to use.
John needs to see some 6 or 8 spindle Acmes to witness some real production! They wouldn't be used for the MariTool products but when you see 10 tools cutting at once then you'll know metal removal... My B&S 00G make s a part that has 3 tool cutting at once and there's less than .01 clearance between the tools when they're cutting. In fact, if you jog the machine they'll contact one another... part in 3.5 seconds....
I doubt he will ever do, he would need to change the adjectives (Cool, Awesome, Insane, Holy Cow, Wow) for superlatives that have not been added to the language yet and he would use them so much, nobody else would be able to talk :-). I am sure he is still amazed by what the trade can give and what he has learned in all this time and explain it to the audience that is not so exposed like me but eager to learn. I am sure he can and he is a nice guy.
Interesting factory and machines. Pity that everything is "Cool", "Awesome" "Insane" or "Holy Cow" though.
Great tour John. Thank you. Our bread and butter is CT - 50 tool holders (Le Blond Makino Verticals and Horizontal). Whenever I go to our Haas machines (VF-3 and VM-3) CT - 40, I have a little giggle, because they feel like tea cups. We also run a lot of TG 100 CT-50 Tool Holders/Collets.
INSANE! Just so big!
Hey John! you just gave MariTool some of my business haha very good company
Oh hey, we have that same Zeiss CMM at our school. Pretty neat machine.
Large parts are less difficult to balance than small parts because natural variations in density of the material average out over a greater volume.
Hahaha, I am going into this video remembering all the scenes from orange vice co's video of the place and you totally cut one of their clips into your video!!
It was really surreal to start finding all the things from your video tour of the lab in person, it really doesn't convey that all those shots are spread across many many buildings. Its a trip.
👨💻 TechPorn 🤪 you can,t sleep🥺 when these pop up in youtube 😳👍 🕺🐨straya! i- luv this stuff- is don is good!
Hey I think a really cool shop you would like/video is Grove Gear Or Union Grove Gear. If they would let you visit/Film I think they have like 2 or 3 foot ball fileds of Cnc'c, Mill's, And more.
I'm a bit surprised the balancing comes down to visually lining the tool up and putting a sharpie mark on it and then hand writing a note about what it needs. Really seems that operation and the machining called for by the balancer could be integrated and make for a more efficient workflow.
Another great tour John thanks. Looks like they have forgiven you for suggesting their toolholder was out of round some time back? (before issuing an apologetic retraction video!). All great stuff keep up the good work.
19:53 Cat60 Dimensions, in case anyone's wondering. toolholderexchange.com/cat-tool-holders-cat40-cat50/
The largest diameter (the gripper arm), on a Cat40 is 2.5 Inches (~63mm). A Cat60 is 5.5 Inches (~140mm). "That's a huge bitch".
Another great factory tour. Cheers John and the MariTool team!
Awesome machines, great tour, very cool products , curious how long it will before SMW gets one of those multi axis Mill/Turn machines? :)
That's pretty cool don't let OSHA see them running with the doors open
I wish John would just talk less, just let the guys give the tour, and the worst is the need to pan the camera to show your face WHILE you're talking. I love factory tours but I usually have to mute it.
One super smart dude !!
I’ve never seen machines like these...nuts. It’s amazing what these things are capable of doing!
That reaction when buddy finds out the whole world doesn't use CAM software lol
you are nice guy nice movies nice shops on all I just to be work in machine shop
American craftsmanship at its finest
yes, but with all foreign machine tools......good book to read "When the Machine Stopped" by Max Holland
Ugh, CAT50 is the reason my back hurts. Stick a huge facemill, some stacked MT5 or capto on the end, no need for the gym then
Awesome! Thanks John! That dog is adorable :3
I don't often get too see a machine I own in these factory tours. Just before and after the CMM, you can catch a glimpse of a Myford MG12 cylindrical grinder.
Maritool. Awesome! Shop dog...Ultra Awesome.
Respect to this man for hand programming. I had not heard of pinch or balance turning. Really nice tour, obviously these guys know a ton and likely have little idea how fascinating their work is here.
(card missing at 22:52 - Starrett Factory Tour! - ( T7JqXbm-Nwo ))
Such a great tour. Thanks for sharing, John.
Great to hang out with Mari and crew...I only wish we heard more about their future products!
Why didn't the Zoller tool print the label?
wow I wish maritool made iso 20 holders, would be awesome to get high quality iso 20 without paying over $200 each for them but then these guys only spin to 20k rpms too, where high quality iso 20's will go to 30k rpm or even 40k rpm in some cases so maybe that's why they don't bother with iso 20?
awesome video john...
That was awesome John. Thats an amazing 1st class operation. 👍
Just started using Maritool Holders and Drill Chucks and I have been very pleased with the price and quality of their product. #IMIManufacturingInc. #shamelessPlug
Where's everyone's safety glasses???
Awesome! I love these videos! Definitely going to get some Maritool when I get my ATC spindle!
Lol, personal safety is definitely not an issue for this company: I haven't seen even a single person wearing safety glasses.The tool holder itself could be balanced by drilling a few holes here and there. Unfortunately, all the tapers are ground prior to balancing. The holder itself is balanced but the tool run-out is crazy. The initial cost of the tool holder is very attractive, the end result is disastrous. It's a common sense; don't attempt to hold $350 end mill in a $100 holder!!!
I've made up my mind to go BT30 on my machine build, and will hopefully buy from Frank soon.
Curling 50 tapers every day! Really builds up your shoulder muscles loading tools into a vertical all the time. Get a big setscrew or mill chuck with a big ol' chunk of carbide and it has to weigh 30+ pounds.
Very Cool, Thanks, John and MariTool for a peak at your shop! Programming must take a bit of practice .050 " clearance is Clearance ohhh boy!
have you seen the HSK160 tapers? they're the size of a cake, run on 200kw spindles
Weird way to interact with the machine operators, regardless if the visit to the station was preplanned or even rehearsed, it was so unnatural and unpolite. I would expect the operator is introduced by the owner, demos his task himself, explains what and why he is doing it, the boss clarifies any missing stuff and never turns his back on him and thanks him for his intervention. I am sure they have passion for what they are doing and it is part of the value of the product, regardless of the confidence and knowledge the owners display. And don't get mistaken, I am right wing if you have doubts. Maybe it is the best place to work and it was an unlucky exception, but it didn't looked that way.
Wow Frank put your arms down lol
I worked with machines running Cat40 holders for most of my career. I switched over to another shop with all older machines and everything in the place ran cat50 holders. Took 5 months of hand loading those cat50 holders into a machine at shoulder level and above; My right arm looks like Popeyes arm! Don't forget the weight that the big tools add to those holders.
That was impressive. I am not familiar with their product. Very enjoyable, thanks.
Red hankie on the left side of his jeans. This guy is serious about holes.
it's funny to see how guys that always use cam thinks that manually programing is kind of hardcore.
sir what is the meaning of BT30 PLEASE COMMENT ME AND FULL FORM OF BT
Hmmm some room for integration in the balancing... Laser mark uniquely, then spin for imbalance, read laser mark and send with imbalance correction to drilling. Read laser mark at drilling and look up correction required.
Those cnc machines are the baddest man... i really like cnc style machines.
I love shooting myself in the face!!
I know Tom...i know they bad ass dude...but stop letting them put sheet rock and windows around them and make them use their heads
I guess they only have their shirts made in extra small. Awesome guys though and very cool equipment.
That Frank as he walks looks like a bloke I used to work with, we called him “two cartons”. Because he looked like he was carrying two cartons of beer under his arms when he walked. 😂🤪
You should've seen ISO80 tapers. Now those are big.
stop at 5:59 the thicker (vast XXT) part of that carl zeiss AHAHAHAH it's very familiar to me and the inside frame of that thing is also very familiar to me
the first macine we have at my work a smaller verzion and to lathe turents instead of a milling head
same brand same controller it is a unstoppable workhorse 5000 parts a day no problem
Great factory tour (I also loved the Starrett tour as well and replayed several times). Cool seeing the Boxer and its dog bed in the factory. floor. Thank you for sharing the video.
"ISO20 will fit in your pocket". Or two ISO10 toolholders!
I work almost exclusevly with CAT 50 and Captro C4 all the way up to C10. Capto C10 are trully a monster tool holders
Mari tools are top notch, it's pretty cool to see the shop. They make great end mills, that is how I came to know them initially also.
Great customer service.
It's easier to understand why tool holders are expensive, honestly I don't know how they sell them for so little with the amount of time that it must takes from raw material to being shipped out the door.
"Insane"
The video for my factory would be a fairly short one:-)
This was a good one. Always facinating to see how these things come together and how people approach the challenge.
great video- wondered how my iso30 chucks were made and balanced!
Hi John, do you know what erp system they are using for inventory management?
Thanks you John, Very interesting, Greeting from Canada
I’m a little late to the party,but you have to respect a owner who knows every aspect of the process
Another great tour, I'm a big fan of mari toolholders. It was fun to see how they are made. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your vids.👍👍
how close does Maritool semi-finish turn the taper before grinding?
Drool time tool time. What a magnificent cluster of machines. Thanks for taking the time to do the walk through and upload it, just awesome.
How does the grinding machine compensate for wheel wear after dressing
Love the Duramax CMM. Very capable little CMM.
Such nice and competent guys and really awesome operation they have there. Thanks to them for inviting and you for making a really fun and interesting factory tour video.
Tools making tools making cash making food making man making tools.
That's it I'm sold! Ordering a full set this week....
Another great video. By any chance do you know the name of the software they use for the inventory?
Nice Boxer (dog)
Nice. I'm going to look into some Maritool holders.
Safety glasses folks
they should install some sort of window wipers :D
Great job! Regards from Colombia and thanks for the tour
looks like a chore to get the stock from where its stored to the bar feeders
"how could i automate that balancing op?" says john saunders
YES!
Seemed kinda weird that it didn't print out the ticket with the details / update a database automatically huh? Have developed software to do so with spectrum analysers and packaging machines, it's a fun challenge.
Incredible! Thanks for sharing. You must have said "That's insane!" a hundred times. LOL
