To everyone criticizing Adam for partnering with sponsorships and adding CNC capabilities, remember two things. 1. Every generation of tradesman must adapt to new technologies. I guarantee his dad and grandfather would be proud of his adaptations. 2. It is the American dream to create something while making a living doing it. This is exactly what Adam has accomplished. I understand the hobby machinist missing his old, homegrown material. Give Adam some time for the new shop to get settled in, and I'm confident that there will be a return to the original content that attracted us to his channel to begin with.
Nah, he doesn’t do anything anymore. He’s only going to be doing things to show what machines do. And let’s face it, you cannot learn how to program 3 different CNCs properly and effectively so it’s going to be a disaster for a long time
@@thesouthernlife4061 operating a cnc and programming a cnc, learning cad is simply not something that is done on the fly by attending a weekend course. Perhaps I might have a little bit of knowledge of it. Lol.
From all the way back to when you expanded your first home shop, this has been a long time coming for the hopes and dreams of where you might eventually go with your business Adam. Very exciting times are coming as you transition from old school to cutting edge machining! Thanks for sharing this journey. Can’t wait to see more.
@@summerforever6736 Willing to bet from your political comments you also complain about manufacturing going overseas. Your local compatriots are getting 100's of thousands of people familiar and interested in local cutting edge tools and processes and instead of enjoying the content, you're also complaining. Go figure
@@username-s9s3r Totally agree, why does he care about the size of the machine, it's not his shop and also how is he even remotely capable of assessing that Adam won't be able to use the potential of this machine, I mean what the hell.
I used to work for a big CNC machine company that made machines around this size. You may have issues with extra flexing of the the frame when doing heavier machining, which comes out in waviness in the parts due to expansion joints in the concrete floor. Our bigger machines sometimes needed their own dedicated concrete pad. Sometimes the pad went pretty deep too.
Considering that the bed weighs 14,000 lbs, and it has 10 legs, which have a foot that my guess is it is 8x8 in, i think that concrete is supporting 22 psi… it doesn’t seem to be that bad
It's hilarious to read all the salty comments from people jealous of the fact that Adam worked hard and spent extra time making a youtube channel which allows him to get sponsorships and extra income to be able to pull this new shop off. My hat is off to you sir for your hard work and dedication!
What is even more sad is the fact that Adam has had to work this hard for 500k subscribers, whereas some channels making hamster courses are in the millions within a year. That’s the internet for you….
Adam - Congratulations to you and Abby on the progression of your dreams. Been watching the channel since 2018, and I always sensed that you wanted to get back to the bigger jobs that you did in your old work place. Obviously you needed larger equipment to do that, and I'm glad that it's coming to fruition for you. American needs more like you and Abby. Congrats.
Re-shoreing is good all round. Development of local skills and indeed appreciation of what goes into making things. It diversifies products and allows for locally appropriate adaptation.
You are out of room my friend. So nice to have a shop with, for the most part, with all new equipment. So cool, congrats, you have worked hard for this day. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Adam, so happy for you with new stuff you have gotten that are CNC. It's great to see you doing what you have to do to stay relevant within the industry while doing what you love to do. Looking forward to seeing the setup and what you will be able to make with it. Take care.
No matter what CNC it is, there are two types of operators. Those that have crashed theirs, and those that lie about never having crashed theirs. Enjoy your first crash! I hope it goes easy on you.
Guys let’s be honest clearly Adam worked out a deal with Flex to have this as some kind of a promotional machine. He did not once mention that he purchased it. If he did he would definitely let that be known. I’d guess Adam’s promotion of the flex tap arms went very very well and they decided to take another venture together. I’m very happy for you Adam, you worked very hard to be able to have opportunities like this come true. Please pour some gas on the fire and make the first part you make on this mill a very small one 😉
For larger batch work that machine will require the space of the whole shop to manage storage and loading of the material. Nice machine, looking forward to seeing it work.
Wow !!!! Best ‘unboxing’ I’ve seen Adam 👍 Can’t wait to see you machine one of Keith Ruckers HUGE machine beds on the new Gantry CNC mill. Your Dad and Your Grandad would be thrilled to bits to see you ‘going for it’ Regards Robert
In 1979 I was working for Amcut Corp., a mom & pops shop building flame shape cutting equipment. They were controlled by an optical head that would follow a silhouette pattern and cut the same shape using multiple cutting torches from steel plate. This was retrofitted with a Burney NC controller and Hypertherm plasma torches. I used to program it using straight G-code transferred with 1" paper tape generated with a teletype terminal. We've come a long way...
@@pcb1962 Unlikely. It's a hell of a commute from Spokane, Washington to Pensacola. And the thing weighs a ton. No adequate lifting equipment or storage space.
Happy to see the unloading process go smooth this time. That last unloading near disaster was not fun to watch. Can't even imagine what you have planned for this giant. Nor can I imagine how you are going to function in what has just become a shoebox space.
Awesome Adam. I have been thinking for a while that I wish you would go CNC. Well you have done it and now let see how fast you can come up to speed. This is the future and now you are part of it! Well done.
Abom - I know it's sort of silly to say this, given all of the other really cool stuff going on in your videos, but what keeps me coming back is how much you smile. It's infectious - when I see somebody as experienced as you get excited about a new machine or technique or job, I get excited, too. Thanks!
Totally amazed in the transformation your business has had over the past few years. It's a lifetime overnight success. I hope the upcoming years are just as exciting for you.
Wow Adam, you are growing in leaps and bounds! You better hire some help to put all this new equipment to work for you.😄 It's fun to watch your growth, the set up of the new machines, appears you are quickly running out of room. Looking forward to seeing videos coming up on the flex installation and where the other CNC machines get set-up. This is truly a story about the American dream! Good luck and thanks for sharing with us.
Yes, Flex cnc needs some exposure. I have a lot of questions about the machine and would love to see it work. I have a lot of experience with even smaller gantry style machines so I'm curious about the performance of this one.
Dude you must be killin it off of RUclips! You are nonstop getting brand new machines… I know what those cost😱 That’s bad ass, I hope u get everything setup and get your shop bangin with business.

@@Jacob-64 he is a machinist in a fully equipped machine shop, but the shop is not run as a full production shop. The income from things made and repaired is a side-show, the main business is youtube and education.

My favorite thing about your new shop is these unloading videos! I really enjoy them! It’s so cool to see how they rig the crane and get the machines inside and into place. I never thought about how much went in to moving these larger pieces of equipment. Thanks for sharing this with us. 😄
I'm thrilled for you, Adam! I'm really looking forward to what you ultimately do with all of your new CNC hardware. I was also really looking forward to seeing the openside shaper come to life though, and now I fear there's no room left for it!
OK, Adam... Now I KNOW you have a plan to take on some LARGE production work... There's no other reason for all that big CNC gear in a small shop.... C'mon, man. spill it! By the way, I really enjoy watching your building joy as this facility comes together. Great work, and God Bless!

so exciting man, can't wait to see this turning out some parts. I'd love for you to machine me some air jacks some day. I can't wait to get all the specs on them and get them made.
Really cool machine. The question I'm asking myself now is, how do you plan to load the material to the bed, as parts of the size this machine is made for are very havy. The existing crane doesn't seem to have the reach to pick materials up from a truck or trailer.
Always fun to watch the arrival of a new machine. Watched the foundations being prepared for several Mazak e650’s and their arrival and set up. Fascinating to see fork lifts with tires larger in diameter than a man is tall move those things. This too was fun to watch. Enjoy the new machine.
Amazing machine ... but you sure you have work for it? I have various CNC mills and routers and that is like a heavy duty router for steel .. I can imagine it being useful for say drilling batches of steel beams ... or aerospace stuff, 3D milling of wing spars for example ... but I'll be honest, I am struggling to see it fit into your usual jobs ...
@@summerforever6736 Why is promotion 'just'..;)? Promotion is a big deal. Yeah will guess Flexit owns the machine. It's like a 150K and up piece of equipment as I understand. Adam is first of into teaching folks via this channel, not mainly manufacture things which one need to do fulltime if owning such a machine. I got nothing against this setup at all. It's a win-win situation, to the companies, Adam, and viewers, possible customers who want to see more how the equipment works
@@summerforever6736 I'm sure its a great machine, but its kinda specialist ... a better choice would have been something like a Haas VF2 ... Still, if someone is prepared to loan him a machine, I can't blame him for accepting the offer. Looks a very decent bit of kit!
Adam needs to complete the sentence: 'I have acquired this machine which takes a large percentage of my workshop floor space (rather than other machines) because after doing my research and business plans, I will specifically be using it for.........'
@@godfreypoon5148 I think for starters, some subbing work from his buddy Joe's shop in the other units........otherwise, all a bit nebulous. Seems more like Flex Machine Company saying: ' Have this machine to play with, it will make great content and grow your channel, over to you to find some work for it'.
What in heaven’s name is that for? That’s humongous! Do you have any customers that need anything that big to be milled? I am standing by to learn . . . .
I work in a machine shop in Florida, we have a Flex CNC machine with a much shorter bed than yours but otherwise exactly the same. I run it every so often when the main operator is out and they are great machines. I like the G code for its ease of use and I like the tool bay being parallel with the table. Wide variety of use and only wish our bed space was longer for more vices. Hope to see your CNC running soon.
Now that is an awesome machine! I can't wait to see it in operation, and to see what kind of production you do with it to pay for it, that thing has to be expensive! I was a maintenance mechanic for a fairly large cabinet shop when I lived in California. They had a couple of Morbidelli cnc router machines for milling cabinet parts, fantastic machines, that cost about $250,000 apiece and that was over 15 years ago. And they had a couple of Schelling cnc saws that cost about the same. It was imperative that we kept them running 24 hours a day.

No, Adam never mentions plans for the future. The controversy in the comments section is good for the youtube algorithm.
@@andrewterry8092 and the absence of any interesting machining content is very good for Kurtis at Cutting Edge Australia
Congratulations Adam
My nerves would be shot thinking about the amount of work needed to pay for that machine
All the best of luck Adam wishing you and Abby all the best keep up the GREAT Work.
What in heaven’s name is that for? That’s humongous! Do you have any customers that need anything that big to be milled? I am standing by to learn . . . .
Look at Fireball Tool's welding tables for example, need a machine like this to make them
Great to see you growing and I can't wait to see this thing in action
A very proud day. Congratulations Adam
Congrats on your new arrival. I am really looking forward to seeing what types of work you'll be doing on this beast... Good luck..
I work in a machine shop in Florida, we have a Flex CNC machine with a much shorter bed than yours but otherwise exactly the same. I run it every so often when the main operator is out and they are great machines. I like the G code for its ease of use and I like the tool bay being parallel with the table. Wide variety of use and only wish our bed space was longer for more vices. Hope to see your CNC running soon.
Wow! That machine is huge! Cannot wait to see it do it’s thing.
How many times did the phrase “Go big or go home” come up when you were talking with Flex? Looks like you will need the unit next door soon.
😉
Congrats Abom. I couldn’t afford the crane rental, let alone the machine itself. Can’t wait to see the Flex operational and what you make with it.
How can a one man shop pay for all new equipment an not be making anything?
simple. he's not paying for it.
How do you know what he is making?
also patreon, he said befour that everything that comes trough patreon goes straight in to the shops he have.
Still amazes me the amount of folks who watch RUclips yet haven’t a clue how it all works. Elmer here is a prime example.
Now that is an awesome machine! I can't wait to see it in operation, and to see what kind of production you do with it to pay for it, that thing has to be expensive! I was a maintenance mechanic for a fairly large cabinet shop when I lived in California. They had a couple of Morbidelli cnc router machines for milling cabinet parts, fantastic machines, that cost about $250,000 apiece and that was over 15 years ago. And they had a couple of Schelling cnc saws that cost about the same. It was imperative that we kept them running 24 hours a day.
