I've been turning my cleaning into my thinking / meditating times. So when I get stuck on something or need a mental break. I start cleaning and organizing stuff. Which has drastically increased my productivity.
That compressed air, bearing cage tumbler is brilliant.
Pro tip John, don’t do things you can pay someone happily $12/hr to do when you have a machine collecting dust that’s costing you conservatively $50 to $100/hr to sit there.
It’s all good man, I just want you to succeed!
And by all means, hand scrub the floors while your machines are grinding away!
My idea, so true. John is doing things others could do with no problem but i think he is still not aware of this
An opportunity cost of 100hr is not the same as am actual cost of 15hr
@@mannycalavera121 this is very true. These are the battles we all fight. When you are a small business it is so hard to always be doing the right thing for the business when other things need to get done at the same time.
I think he tries to do this stuff to keep himself humble.
Manny Calavera I was thinking about what his machine payments must be for the Kern to sit there. I imagine the payments are 1-2 people’s salaries, all while the machine isn’t actually pulling in money. John obviously gets the run his business they way he wants, I’m just some dude commenting on RUclips. I personally wouldn’t touch anything else until I got that machine paying for itself, the stress would kill me! I’m sure he will be fine though!
I have that same tool cart/workbench across from my Tormach. It's the heart of my workspace. A great little table. The drawers are awesome and do not suck, which is surprising for its price.
Cheers and applause! Seeing the shop owner handling a broom or cleaning the floor -- that's Full Grimsmo!
Hi John,
For the inner clean freak you can buy sticky mats. They come in various sizes (think welcome mat size), and have 30 or 60 sheets per pack...I would peel one off every Monday. Uline sells them for around 60-100 CDN
Cheers

Good recommendation, we use them for our optics labs to keep the dirt out. Another option is to use two pais of shoes (e.g. leather slippers in different colours), a "dirty" pair to work in the lapping area and a "clean" pair for whenever you leave the dirty area. Should help keeping the grime in the lapping area.
Hey John! I've been very happy you have posted so many videos lately.. Hope you can keep them coming :)
You (or you're friend) should check the operation hours instead how many parts has been made. Part time can be like 10 seconds or 30 minutes or whatever.. So it obviously doesn't tell how many hours machine has been running :)
On the Huskies, since you're always working with small round objects, maybe add a surrounding lip on 3 sides. Something like plastic/acrylic, screwed and bent with a heat gun on the corners would more than suffice, and be pleasing to the eye by transparency. Most of the carts i use have that lip, and i cannot overstate the usefulness of that cheap piece of plastic. We have a lot of round archival cylinders we're moving to better formats (fragile plans and the like) and more than once the pesky things wanted to roll away. I imagine that for small knife parts, it must be even more useful.
Have you thought about putting sticky mats where people will step after using the lapping machine? That could help keep the floor clean.
There's a system that's getting traction/popularity where you have a secondary door (garage/loading door style). First is obviously the locking security door, but you lift that up, and from a secondary rail that rides on a separate track at the top (kinda like trains) a second door pops down. Here in Europe, they're used to have normal door fronts with windows (the rigid frame format with just two pivots) or maybe, in your case a transparent plastic type to allow more light in.
I have herd kaizen foam to be amazing for drawer organization could be good for your new tool boxes! Enjoy, you have an amazing shop and make an incredible product!
Re-using paper towels. Nope, not without gloves. Paper towels are cheap enough you don’t have to handle germy towels.
if they are using them to dry their hands after washing them, the towel's are still clean, just wet lol... once they are dry and your using them for a second time, unless you just washed your hands, chances are your hands are dirtier than the towel lol...…
People have been using towels to dry their hands for centuries. For a situation where just a few people are using them, it's perfectly fine. You touch hundreds of things that have way more germs than a paper towel that has been reused. There's bacteria of everything, and trying to avoid it will just drive you crazy. You're getting way more microbes on your hands doing everyday tasks. Trying to avoid microbes is futile.
Love the tool cart!!!!🤩 If this helps your friend on the subject of the number of parts made on his machines:
In one year on a Tornos Deco 10 we made 230,000 parts but most of that year was two shifts and running it lights out. So the average cycle time per part that year was merely 1:15. I think something to look at is how many running hours are on the machine if that’s an option because cycle times and hours ran per day can vary so much depending on what type of shop the machine is in.
Peters videos are sick, hes got a huge subscriber base too! I learned a lot of good photo and video tricks from his vlogs thats awesome man, cant wait to see what you create!
Patiently waiting for your Peter McKinnon video. Lets see how many thousand subscribers you pick up from this. Keep up the great work guys.

Get yourself a floor cleaner second hand. Make it a weekly thing
Parts Total can be Changed.
On Fanuc control #6712 (Turn on parameter write in MDI then system)
It’s good to reset on a new job to see the overall total parts made and use part count as a daily count. Then you can see how efficient you are.
you need a Clark Floor Scrubber works the best on epoxy floors
I was going to recommend this too. A powered floor scrubber is the bee's knees according to my mechanic buddies. You load the simple green or whatever solution in it, it has a big scrubber on it that polishes the floor and a squeegie and vacuum on the back that leaves the floor perfect and dry behind it. He said they can drive it through a bay where an oily car was just worked on and it leaves a perfect floor behind it.
You can get them on government surplus and industrial auctions all day for cheap too. The grimsmo shop is probably big enough to justify it
www.bidspotter.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/bscdslin/catalogue-id-danbur10084/lot-93c78ab4-e4da-4584-a7b4-abcd01688188
Reini Grauer Agreed. Picked up a floor cleaner near 3 years ago from auction for a fraction of the price of new. Battery power makes it very easy to clean my whole factory at the end of each day. Can also get the chemical mixers to load the tank for next to nothing at auction. They usually are part of "janitor closet" lots that often sell for for $10-30 US.
Yup. I imported four for a storage area that's about 5 to 6 times the size of what Grimsmo's shop is. Mostly because they'd serve as parts over the years, but so far it works really well. Got them dirt cheap (not including shipping, which was part of a shipping container stocking filler fee) for a little over 5800USD, one of them being new, and they just sold it at auction ... by mistake? No idea. I got lucky. Super impressed with the machine itself, haven't seen something that's actually worth buying in a long time. Some minor issues with the wheels, but nothing a small shop/space can complain. For our archival purposes, where moving dust is the task, more, more than adequate.
I am absolutley loving these daily vids!!! They are amazing!!
Machine cycle hours is what you need know, we know 8000 hours a year roughly, so 240000 in 30 years. I have seen equipment from the 1920s, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 80, 90 working 24/7 it just takes maintenance and sometimes a rebuild if something breaks or your tolerances need to be more significant. Get a specialist in machine tools to inspect and give you a quote on the lathe and ask the product manufacturing engineer group from the regional dealer for specs and spare parts and rebuild quotes.
« Go the extra mile » is a core value of many successful companies. 😊
They make push around floor cleaners that mop with detergent and suck up the water in one go. For a shop with a white floor, I think I would be a great addition.
When you have a machine that is producing a lot of dirt put one of the mats down in front of it. We do the same in my shop and it helps a lot.
I have roller blade style wheels on my deskchair. Just be aware that your chair will NOT stay in one spot even if you try to keep it there. At first I had to hold myself to my desk to prevent my chair from pretty much just rolling me away. Stand up and give it a slight push with the back of your knees and that chair is off to the races. As smooth as they roll, they roll waaaaay too smooth.
John, instead of cleaning up the diamond sludge. Create an isolation area to use bunny slippers inside the lapping workstation if it's a place that creates filth, which can get into other machine centers and equipment particle infiltration accidentally or over time some way. Having an entry and exit process in your lapping area may become a more significant issue as you grow. It's essential to be aware of the routines you create workaround when you are wasting money on tedious tasks that are good now but can destroy a company as it is increasing. What amount of cleaning is needed if that lapping station doubles then doubles and so on? In business, we make solutions to reduce risk and excessive tedium tasks. Keep it super simple is one of the hundreds of system productivity analysis tools used. The Toyota way is a perfect system to emulate. Many Japanese cities were in ruin after ww2 and part of the Marshal Plan was to improve capitalism and business systems to help make Japan and Germany great trading partners and strong allies well into the future. The US and Canada, Britain, and others put a massive effort into teaching principles of quality, innovation, continuous improvement. The same was given to the US, Britain, and Canadian, business but not implemented well into the new Millenium after the US lost its market share and had to have tariffs to compete because GM, Ford, Chrysler are run from wall street on a quarterly cycle not on a value trajectory to innovate and have continuous improvement. They still do, and now the German and Japanese companies are more Wall street now, and they all go by short term thinking not a long time.
The messy stuff may need to be located in a dirty zone and the clean in a clean area. Or one set of boots for lap and another outside of lap.
Machine life is usually measured in hours, not parts, so maybe tell your friend to ask about that? Like you identified; number of parts/cycles is not really a good measure, because program times can vary so much.
Yup. Because part number can be deceiving. Kinda like offroad kms vs road kms. Not to mention that Grimsmo keep their tools in pristine conditions, who knows how that machine was used/kept.
One of the first automated machines i got was an old 05 Tornos. It had been clocked somewhere at around 340k parts. We still wanted to get it, because it was never going to be used for anything other than making plastic shims for archival purposes. We just needed cheap parts in the millions fast and because of the age and number of parts on the counter (and minor aesthetic things, like a missing door) the price was right.
Ok. We met with the auction guy, he passed it on, along with documentation, and a few unlabeled DVDs. Turns out the machine had been making custom tumbler lock pins all its life. I mean, maybe there's more leisure ways to spend your life, but for something like a Tornos...
Sometimes you get (incredibly) lucky, sometimes you step in a pile, but the key part of this, is that you know what your expectations are vs the thing you're buying. As in, what that thing is going to be used for/price.
Maybe look into a walk behind floor machine. Not that much money and pretty low maintenance. Scrubs. Squeegee and dries quick.
why dont just get a leaning machine or a high quality cleaner team? your time worth much more than hand wiping the floor..
You need the pyramid dig6b wall clocks, they are $500 but super awesome, have them here at work.
Hey John could you also give a peak on the spindle hours of your machines? I would find that interesting as a reference too 🤗
Just don't let your fire inspector see those plastic/cardboard bins, they might lose a few screws.
Just tossing this out... use a knife blade (as the hour hand) and a knife scale (as the minute hand) and make a "Grimsmo" clock. (This comment is in the public domain.)
#Efficiency #So satisfying !!! Keep up the great work! Don't think you're the only one reusing lightly used paper towels, I definitely do that too! Keep up the great content, I'm sure I'm speaking for the majority of your viewers! Stay safe and productive (new quarantine saying). Dan @6-4_Fab Glen Rock, PA USA
With floors like that, you should use roller blades on your feet, not just your chairs.
Hi John, I enjoyed to watch the obsessed cleaner :-)......almost Swiss
Michael Hauser
CEO Tornos
add a vacuum attachment to the roof of the lapping machine that leads to dust cyclone outside the shop or add a dust shoe to the head of the machine
I just imagined you a full day withthe yellow jacket doing parts 😊😊😊😊
Your wonky bars on the swiss, could you possibly join two lengths together at the end making a longer bar.?
Perhaps, glue, double sided tape, or a press fit spigot
Was hoping you’d declutter that tombstone on the Kern into the scrap bin where it belongs 😀
An idea for an investment in the future: a machine for wiping the hall floor. I think the surface would be worth it.
Fraser: Please get Izotope RX so you denoise, and notch out the really high pitch whines from the background. I get shop noise adds atmosphere, but some of the machines make it very unpleasant to listen to these videos and need to be toned down a bit - especially in the time lapses.
@@cliveramsbotty6077 Not really. For some of us, that high pitched sound is incredibly hard to listen to. Some people can't stand nails on a blackboard for example. Same type of thing.
You could put a runner in front of your lapping machine!!!
Hi John I'm from Germany and I have a question about your soga pen how do you do your System to push out your pen. Thnaks for answer:::)))))
Not to criticize, but Fraser, why are you leaving in the parts where John is talking to "editing you"? It does sometimes feel very out of place and like it was left uncut by accident.
Just wanted to vent that. Not trying to criticize! You have done great work since you started!
You going to cut foam to shadow the boxes? That way you know when something that belongs to the box isn't there.
Hi John, I was just listening to the latest podcast and have some thoughts on Saunders’ double order issue. Could the webshop automatically check if a customer has an open order that hasn’t been picked yet and offer them the option to merge the new order with their existing order? That would solve the issue of having to modify and merge orders manually, and the customer might be delighted to find such good service since it automatically waives extra shipping charges. It also affords the business the opportunity to encourage customers to keep browsing/shopping after they have placed their order, which can increase sales per customer, instead of trying to discourage double orders from happening.
Can I somehow donate side shields for sky's glasses? Because machinest!
Even the Canadian doc's have renamed OCD "Grimsmo syndrome" 😁😀😉🇬🇧👌
Be very carefull how to store used oil soaked rags. In order to avoid a fire hazard, do not store the oily rags for a long time. Self-closing metal cans must be used for all oily wastes
Maybe get a vaccum and washing Roomba for the shop? Lol
when grimsmo hasn't posted in five days :(
anyone else see the fly on the tools?
You should get some robots to do the cleaning :D
Why are u making Peter a saga pen if he is a knife nerd?
#of parts run is a horrible metric to judge wear & tear. Your Tornos running 60k posts at 1.5 min each, is a lot different than 190k parts that could have potentially been 20 minute parts.
id hate to see this guys mouthly expence
