Almost 3 years ago I invested into my friends company and we put a concrete pad and a building ourselves in his backyard. Best decision we’ve ever made now we have 3 cnc machines in that 800 sq ft shop doing our best to make a difference for our customers. Started the whole company with 25 grand of our money and a Tormach mill and that was life changing
nice man really nice i might also start doing my own thing but i gotta get some money and get a lil bit older and get the permits since im in Germany and im not allowed to start my own shop with out certain titles
I purchased a syil X7 milling center because I wanted to make a real difference in my life and my families lives. I figured I would be better off working crazy hours for my self instead of my employer so I took the leap. 9 months later I have a part time employee, more work than I can handle, and so so so many new skills that came with the "Push" of starting a machine shop. Best decision of my life.
If you don't have access to financing, you need to take it slow. I work a full-time job, bought SolidWorks, and after work, I design for a few companies. Every weekend, I work on renovating an old barn into a CNC workshop. I look for deals, and that’s how I managed to buy a few 20-year-old machines. Every day, I pray they’ll start once I finish the renovation and get the electricity hooked up. I started this journey 3 years ago :D Estimated 2 more years, and I’ll finally see the first chips fly!

@@lucasenerson8986 My goal is to support clients from problem identification to a complete solution - many machine shops rely on ready-made designs, whereas I offer comprehensive design support. As for acquiring clients, it all started when a client reached out to me after I changed jobs, wanting to continue working with me. I discussed it with my previous employer and got the green light. After that, it was mainly word-of-mouth, LinkedIn, and other social media. However, I don’t actively push for clients - there are only 24 hours in a day, and I strive to balance my full-time job, side projects, and family. For the past year, I’ve been compiling a list of companies in my country so that when I decide to fully transition to running my own business, I’ll have a solid contact list to call from. I’m aware that only one in several dozen calls might lead to something, so at the moment, I wouldn’t be able to make a living solely from design work. My full-time job supports my family, and side projects are helping me pursue my dream - building a CNC workshop.
I currently have 4 machines, 1 lathe is fully operational, 1 mill that is almost done being rebuilt, 40x25x25 hurco and 1 mill that is awaiting a controls upgrade. In planning stages to break ground on a 5000sq ft building summer next yr on my property. Even started my own website for some of the products we make. Slowly but surely getting there !!! keep preaching we are listening.
Great talk brother. Small shop with two tormachs and for 8 years I've afforded a new house with 4 acres and a bigger shop (still moving in). God provides. Anyhow, I'm in my 50s and I am leaving this cash cow to my son someday. At 14 years old, he is learning cad design and helps me out here and there while learning things in the shop. Keep up the great work and God bless you.
@@minesweeperlureco520 Cheap and get's the job done if you are boot strapping. I am pumping out parts just about every day for the past 4 years on my 770. The biggest downfall would be the lack of HP, but that just equates to taking a bit longer to hog out material. 90% of my work is onesie twosies, so It doesn't matter. In a many part production run, that's where you would be lacking compared to a more powerful machine. Holds tolerance great and if anything breaks (example spindle) parts for them are cheap. Other than that, I'm happy with the returns I get from this economical little machine.
@ lovely I plan on getting a machine that size eventually but considering 3k extra or just a little more used haases n hurcos are 7.5-20k by my house ATM but I will def consider a tormach in the future
I've been a 2nd shift supervisor, and lead programmer for years. Let me say something for the operators here. Take notes, show interest. When I'm doing interviews or I have a new hire. If they pull out a pen and paper, starting to take notes. That's a immediate 2 dollar raise from me.
I tried the NRE and lower price per part method a few times and it is usually met with a laugh. I think the connection with the purchasing agent is more important in the long run. Once you have become embedded with your customer and as long as you are making quality parts and delivering reasonably on time, you will have a customer for years. The view through my aged eyes is that there are so many talented CNC machinists and shops now with impressive tools, that even the dimmer bulbs in the pack can make wonderful parts - and relatively quickly. It's the other stuff of marketing, shaking hands, providing samples, and helping at the design stage to make the customers' parts less expensive to machine, that mean the most for success. Some of those characteristics don't come easy to machinists though. We tend to be on the quieter side.
Started my business 1 year ago. I bought a haas mini mill. Used my savings. I have zero overhead. My biggest problem now is getting more customers because i still work my day job. I have over a decade of experience programming and machining. My next step is building a website so i can accept RFQ's and have potential customers see my work. Penick precision machining based out of AZ.
I am in this exact same position. Its tough to find work so I started reaching out to local shops for over flow. Its always ups and downs but I enjoy it
@minesweeperlureco520 you make web pages? I need to make one where i can accept RFQ'S for the most part. I have a list of things written down that I would like to have featured on my website. If your willing to exchange numbers I would love to see what you can offer.
I’m starting at a new shop that does high end custom elevators and they recently got a metal cnc and I’ll be trained on that. I’ve only ever had experience on a router table for mostly corian (some granite,for family bussiness) but less then 6 months in full time experience running the machines. Videos like this help put into perspective why it’s worth taking on these new daunting task and why in the end it’ll be worth it as long as I make it worth it.
I'm in this spot. I run a cnc router for a whole gym manufacturing company building most of the gyms in the southeast, mostly school and universities. I'm with you on the "if it's worth it" thought.

I love your example of starting off just making soft jaws and then get more more jobs from those shops. I have a graduate that did the same. He started off with working for local companies. Then bought a used Fadal. Now he owns 8 DN Doosans. Expert Solid works designer and more.
My why: I worked at a place that used outside shops besides our inside shop for production parts. I saw some god-awful work being purchased. I knew I could make those parts and make them better. I knew Mastercam, set up and operated a cnc mill. Now almost 20 years my own shop with 6 cnc's. I just wish I did it two years earlier. I signed a lease the end of 2004. I started making chips 2/15/2005 for a customer. Still making parts for them.
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦 Thank you i have a workshop employing about 8 people but it's a conventional workshop i don't have CNC machines most of my work is one-off jobs (specialized) But i took some knowledge from this video thank you
Titan you’re a great motivator. Thank you for all that you have done for anyone interested in machining running a business and how to treat people. My career was cut short and I’m thinking of possibly starting my own shop.
At my job my boss told me i have to wait 10 years to get traning on a bench top cnc, to rout out door hinges... 3 years fighting to get into school from my boss gasslighting me, i will be done with school in a few weeks! Do not let anyone stop you!
Almost every shop wants to keep.operators operators until their golden boy leaves and they are scrambling to plug people in. Every place I've ever worked. Most big businesses look down on their employees "button pushers". Don't wait for someone else to teach you in the machining trade because chances are they never will unless people leave and they are forced to train you to fill the gaps.
I trained to be a machinist, it was my dream job. I went to find a job and found nothing in my state. I couldn’t move for personal reasons. I decided to just find something else. I regret not staying with it. Now I just wish I could get back in the shop. I have a great job now but I want to continue learning CNC machining. I’m going to try to use the rest of my GI Bill to take some classes. If anyone knows some good classes to take let me know.
Thanks! I’ve been collection machines and buying. Hanes to pick them up and trailers and storage sea cans etc.. I’m almost ready to jump on a property. Have lots of ideas! Fortunately I have to do stuff the hard way and climb over stuff to do what I have to do! lol
With all of your connections to Fort Wayne Indiana I'm surprised you didn't relocate here. Tons of CNC machining here, along with other forms of advanced manufacturing.
I have to learn some of this to get my company off the ground so that the world changing technology that is in my head can make it out into this world so that those that need it most can have a chance to be in control of their own energy needs. But like most I need help getting the company off the ground.
Titan, I want to thank you for showing me it is possible for me to work on a CNC. I always used to think it's too complicated oh I cant do that but now watching your videos I now know it is possible with dedication and hard work. Its all because of your videos showing me the way. Thank you, Andrew 🥳
do you always keep your cnc machine clean and tidy for only to make videos how can we keep our cnc machines clean we are using shell macron 68 for coolent
I would like to start my own shop. However, I worked for a Company where I did all of the 3D modeling and CAM programing, but was not allowed to run the machines which made it impossible to find a job when the owner died and the place closed down. Maybe I can find a used machine and learn on my own and learn G & M programming. THATS how I learned CAD/CAM!
💥 FIRE TALK, SIR! Epic list! Noted! Bookmarked! I've fulfilled a dream for metal manufacturing w work in the ❤land of America w 3 CNC machines and LOT of hand-tooling, presses, etc. AWAKE, O SLEEPER AND OWN/CREATE!
I can see it! I can feel it. I want the greatness for my whole team! We are positioned for it. We have great machines but were kinda ugly... I want to change that! 2025 baby!
My biggest concerns about opening my own shop is the credit and getting customers. All my working contracts don't allow me to show the parts I programmed and run to prove my skills. I have the title needed to open a shop, the knowledge etc of machining and finished best in class in the finance part of my title. So I have faith in me but can't really be sure to secure work
Titan I am a guy that works for a local highway dept and I feel like I have more talent and a passion for CNC and CAD. I'm 38 years old and have bills so starting at the bottom of the pay scale is a hard obstacle to overcome. I know in my mind I want to pursue manufacturing but not sure how to go about it. I have started the Titan Academy which is a start but still not sure how to get noticed without prior experience. I've had several 3d printers and taught myself how to use it to a point I had one customer that send me files to print and I taught myself thru hours and hours of RUclips how to use basic CAD with Fusion 360. Since starting the Academy I've switched over to Solidworks. I've never used a CNC but I'm glued to videos of them but I really enjoy Cad design so I'm not sure if there is a job for just Cad design or if CAD and CNC are the same job?
For the late comers, sorry to say but.. this is definitely the worse time to start building a machine shop business unless you can secure a huge solid contract prior to building it. With the massive Trump import tariffs taking effect in Jan 2025, the prices of all machinery in the market are about to sky rocket !!! I hope I'm wrong but, right now, I don't see good near future on this. At least me, I'm out 😢
How do you compete with China's products and low cost of raw materials. They do have now the expertise to do quality work, we teach them, we gave the technology and they are becoming better at it through experience and time. What niche jobs can you find in US at large scale so you can compete with made in China?
Your my Frist impression bro 🙇🏻 I know you before two years I become helper to vmc programer I think your movitivion is help me Thank you for sharing your vision.
i alsow startet 3years ago, also seen some of your videos, now i have 1dualspindel lifetool mazak 2 chirons whit pallets and 1abb 2 kuka robots, in germany.... and my nitch would be making Turn/Mill 6Side parts in about 3-8minits a pice in Aluminium.
Bro missed the entire point did you not listen he had an investor he didn't find a 100k he found someone who believed in him and had a 100k you have to take the leap you can even lease a lot of machines for a couple grand a month and easily make that to cover ur lease
Perhaps not the attitude to succeed. My first cnc machine was purchased by the customer I was developing for. I was providing solutions for them with my limited means amd convinced them to purchase a CNC plasma, after another hear and more positive results I convinced them to purchase a CNC router capable of doing aluminium. There is no straight forward path, you must seize opportunities and make sacrifices. BTW I had zero idea how to operate a CNC machine when I asked for one

Attention Hi Mr : Titan CNC . The true story every vary dream to have a machine shop ,like you talk. 1By any CNC Machine to start or manual Company work hard to pay the bills ,the CNC ,MANUAL machine need cutting tools different shape and quality tools , you luck grate to teaching in you tube ,but in reality no vary like to by cutting tools ,after the few year on business COMPANY, OWNER dream to by cottage ,drinking ,party and to buy expensive PICK TRUCK o sport car , no only for him self, all family. Money no reinvest in technology the money no return to the floor shop ,only few company get success . Most open a machine shop and never sharp a drill o standard tools. Always my pleasure to watch TITAN CNC you have the best tooling supply and luck very simple to work whit good cutting tools ,your team are excellent ,very good educate people on MACHINE TOOL, MAQUINAS HERRAMIENTAS.

Aaaaaand end of video.
My biggest concerns about opening my own shop is the credit and getting customers. All my working contracts don't allow me to show the parts I programmed and run to prove my skills. I have the title needed to open a shop, the knowledge etc of machining and finished best in class in the finance part of my title. So I have faith in me but can't really be sure to secure work
Titan I am a guy that works for a local highway dept and I feel like I have more talent and a passion for CNC and CAD. I'm 38 years old and have bills so starting at the bottom of the pay scale is a hard obstacle to overcome. I know in my mind I want to pursue manufacturing but not sure how to go about it. I have started the Titan Academy which is a start but still not sure how to get noticed without prior experience. I've had several 3d printers and taught myself how to use it to a point I had one customer that send me files to print and I taught myself thru hours and hours of RUclips how to use basic CAD with Fusion 360. Since starting the Academy I've switched over to Solidworks. I've never used a CNC but I'm glued to videos of them but I really enjoy Cad design so I'm not sure if there is a job for just Cad design or if CAD and CNC are the same job?
For the late comers, sorry to say but.. this is definitely the worse time to start building a machine shop business unless you can secure a huge solid contract prior to building it. With the massive Trump import tariffs taking effect in Jan 2025, the prices of all machinery in the market are about to sky rocket !!! I hope I'm wrong but, right now, I don't see good near future on this. At least me, I'm out 😢
Where is 5axis syil?
How do you compete with China's products and low cost of raw materials. They do have now the expertise to do quality work, we teach them, we gave the technology and they are becoming better at it through experience and time. What niche jobs can you find in US at large scale so you can compete with made in China?
For me it’s supply chain risk management, I go after companies that have to be compliant for national work.
The profit margins are too small for simple standard work that everyone can do. Beginners have to start like that.
Your my Frist impression bro 🙇🏻
I know you before two years

Thank you for sharing your vision.
Trump should talk to Titan. We need a good labor secretary. Someone with actual vision...
You didn't say the most important thing: How do you get the money to buy your first cnc machine? You were trapped and then homeless....
i alsow startet 3years ago, also seen some of your videos, now i have 1dualspindel lifetool mazak 2 chirons whit pallets and 1abb 2 kuka robots, in germany....
and my nitch would be making Turn/Mill 6Side parts in about 3-8minits a pice in Aluminium.
Step 1: Find $100,000
Step 2 : make a call to your rich dad. If you do not have a rich dad; get one
Bro missed the entire point did you not listen he had an investor he didn't find a 100k he found someone who believed in him and had a 100k you have to take the leap you can even lease a lot of machines for a couple grand a month and easily make that to cover ur lease
I started with 100 dollars
@@youtubeadmin3158 you're right I didnt watch the video
Perhaps not the attitude to succeed.
My first cnc machine was purchased by the customer I was developing for.
I was providing solutions for them with my limited means amd convinced them to purchase a CNC plasma, after another hear and more positive results I convinced them to purchase a CNC router capable of doing aluminium.
There is no straight forward path, you must seize opportunities and make sacrifices.
BTW I had zero idea how to operate a CNC machine when I asked for one
Видно что вы просто трудитесь ради счастья себя и своих близких, непонятно почему ваши политики хотят убить как можно больше людей в остальном мире. Может в этом величие вашей страны и её благополучие?
Do have any job sir I have 4 years experience as cnc programming and operating
