    I really wish the last shop I worked at made me fix my mistakes. It was not a shop that supported people or allowed people to learn. Every good machinist I've ever talked to has a story about crashing a machine! We're human. We make mistakes. Learning from those mistakes is the best thing we can do! I got to my new job this past March and it's a totally different environment! I've been learning all things I've been wanting to learn!

      That’s the most important thing I can tell you to do. Even if you don’t like where you work it doesn’t matter if you are learning. Learn as much as you can as FAST as you can and you will be blown away with where this career can take you in a few short years.

      Tbh, the rule that you learn through your mistakes is true for basically any job.
      I have nothing to do with CNC lol. I mostly do welding and smithing at my current job but by boss literally does not allow me to just fix my mistakes on my own if he sees them, it's like if I am proofenly unable to so in his eyes.
      A single mistakes basically guarantee a 30min long talk (mostly Monologe from his side) and then he will literally fix it his way be it right or wrong and I can just stand there for up to an hour doing nothing lol.
      Learned nothing and after 2y I am literally unable to hear him talking after 2min if it's not important from start to finish. Also questions are not allowed. A question is a mistake in itself, you didn't got it the first time and I maybe didn't even tell you it? Though luck I guess.

      @@Tankliker Yeah I feel you about that. A work place that doesn't allow you to be human is a prison. A mistake every once in while should be expected and learned from. Granted if mistakes happen all the time, you might want to check yourself... but if you're just in a toxin work environment... that really doesn't help either.
      When someone made a mistake at my first machine shop job, they would make you feel guilty that someone else had to fix your parts, if they were fixable. I remember asking my manager one time if I could fix the batch of parts I made out of spec. He said, "No you've already screwed up enough." That was the turning point for that job. It was one of those "don't ask questions, do as you're told" kind of machine shops. So glad I don't work there any more!

      @@donniehinske Absolutely! I can't say I liked my first machine shop job, but I definitely learned a lot even if the only thing managment wanted were button pushers. A few chosen people knew CNC programming and the rest were peons.
      The people that had been working there (other peons like me) showed me so much and took time out of their day to teach me something even if my managers only saw me as a button pusher. The experience that I got from that job landed me another better job that is helping me learn Mastercam, CNC programming, and things that the higher ups at my last job didn't want to teach me because, God forbid, they loose their power and standing in the company!

    I remember the Haas Mini Mill that my (UK) college (below uni level) got stuck doing a tool change. I ran the recovery program and it bent the half inch thick steel plate that holds the tools. Completely took the machine out of action.
    We had a new workshop technician who didn't know how to use a CNC, but had some incredible experience. Instead of calling in Haas to fix the machine. The both of us took the too changer from the second mill we had and sawpped them. Then bent the plate back and put it in the secondary machine where it was good enough and wouldn't see as much use.
    I'm super grateful to him for forcing me to fix it rather than costing the college a lot of money. Learned some incredible and invaluable skills that week

I did my share of sweeping floors, I’ll be happy to go back to sweeping floors, cause I’ll at least have a job still. I didn’t make it to where I’m at by being perfect. I made it to where I’m at by learning from my mistakes and others’ mistakes.

    You don't just have to learn from your own mistakes, you can also learn from the mistakes of others. I've been around a shop long enough to see some pretty bad crashes, and every time we go over the root causes, how to avoid it happening again, etc. I think it is valuable to get everyone involved in every significant crash or incident not to shame the person that did it but to share the knowledge about what happened in the hopes that everyone will be able to avoid something similar in the future. I think I've been able to avoid a lot of bumps and crashes just based off of seeing and understanding the mistakes other people have made.

      I like it when shops handle crashes or accidents in the way you described.

If nothing else, something valuable can be learned from pretty much any issue like those.👍

    I've done a mistake two weeks ago.
    We use a template header in the beginning of each operation. But sometimes I have to use a CAM system whose postprocessor spreads important words (such a G43 H... and D) across the different frames and I have to adjust this code manually to the our standard header.
    For manual coding I use CIMCO Edit. And It can highlight frames/words by different colours according codes. So, when I was correcting the postprocessor code, I didn't notice that there was a combination G43 H00 (consider the same as G49) in the line with the first cutting movement, because it was all highlighted in green 🤡 Naturally, the tool flew into the machine table. I was so depressed that I thought about quitting. The boss calmed me down, said that people tend to make mistakes, especially beginners (I work as CNC programmer for 6 months). But here the price of mistake can be very high, so the "lesson" should be extracted to the maximum.

    Like I’ve said to others, it’s all about your approach. EVERYONE makes mistakes, it’s part of being human. If you’re honest about your mistakes and learn from them, most employers will be forgiving. Too often you see the 99% blame the machine or cover up the mistake in fear of consequences. “I don’t know how this could’ve happened!” or my personal favorite, “The machine just bumped.”
    If you’re not honest, maintenance can’t help accordingly. Never disrespect those guys/gals, they’re the ones fixing what you messed up. Remember that.

    I'm run my Dad's shop, and I pretty much do every managemant/lead position as well. I also get to be the one one to fix our machines. Outside of sending out spindles to be rebuilt, or a control that blew a capacitor, we haven't had to spend any money for a tech to fix our machines in years. It has to be one of the most stressful thing I do. Tearing into machines that valuable knowing what's on the line if I don't succeed. Right now I have our Samsung torn apart waiting for the spindle to come back. Although stressful, it feels good to be able to fix out machine, and save the company a decent amount of money every time. Most our machines are 10-20 yrs old, so it feels like every 6 months I get a new project. Some quick and easy others not so much.

    New guy crashed our machine but it wasn't his fault. Head machinist wrote a program on my machine and took it over to his machine. My machine has tools in slots x,y,z, new guy's machine has tools in slots w,x,y. Called for a tool that wasn't in the same spot on new guy's machine. BAM. New guy learned to watch closely and ease the turret in, especially on a new program. Lead machinist learned to double check his work. Crashes are scary and expensive but thankfully everyone at my shop knows this so boss didn't lose his cool. They replaced the broken tool, fixed the code, and got back running the next morning.

The last shop I was at we mostly worked with bi-metals. We used explosives to bond things like stainless to aluminum, copper to titanium, etc. The advantage is having a finished product that is mostly aluminum so easier, cheaper, faster to machine than stainless, but all of the flanges could be welded on with the aluminum side attached to the chamber and then the stainless side being used for the sealing surface. They could also be made so much lighter compared to all stainless versions which is a crucial factor when the products are going to Mars or elsewhere in the universe. We made ultra high vacuum chambers used by places like CERN, JPL, NASA, SPACE X, universities, national labs, etc for mostly research. Explosion bonded materials can be incredible for many applications and its awesome scrap to use for side projects. We also had some parts that were 3D printed aluminum. They were incredibly intricate and completely impossible to machine from billet, but they were metallurgically comparable to 6061 T6. Technology is amazing. 👍

    Back in the manual machining days, a mate of mine (During his apprenticeship) managed to destroy the bed, the vertical power feed gearbox, and a fixture plate on a bloody great old milling machine, all through "inattentiveness". I'm not sure about the specifics, but apparently it involved the machine trying to plunge a large cutter through the fixture and table while he had his back to the mill to check tolerances on the part he'd previously finished. He was relying on the stop disengaging the feed, but for some reason it didn't this time, and he only realised something was wrong when he (And everyone else on site) heard the "thud clatter clatter clatter" of multiple teeth finally parting company with gears behind him ! He once said that the failure was probably due to all the extra mechanical resistance when the cutter finally met the hardened X axis lead screw, but I don't know if he was just making a joke about that.
    They had spares for everything they needed to fix it on site (They had several identical mills in there, so kept most of one in kit form to use as spare parts), but rather than have him fix it, they moved him to the mill right next to it, and pulled one of the old timers (Who hated my cocky mate's guts) off his regular work to rebuild it, and snarl/utter nasty comments at my mate the whole time he was doing it. 🥺
    My mate reorganise his work area after that, so that he had to move a little further, but was always facing towards the mill. 😁

It's the strangest thing.
      If you really do like machining you should be putting a bug in your bosses ear that you want to go to the next level. You're in a unique situation to make yourself invaluable to the company if you learn to use CAD/CAM because you can already manage the floor and the trust is already built.

    I use to work for a company that made all the parts for Pride mobility and Golden mobility. We made everything including the hardware. There was a guy that worked there and he turned up the lathe to full speed without closing the 40ft inclosure that held it while it spun. You know the 40ft length wobbles at the end. What happened was the full length went through the wall into a parked car. Penetated through the passenger door in to the engine bay out the headlight. Old school lathe. With both computer and manual adjustment points.

    Donnie’s great testimony left out the how his crash would have been prevented. Novice machinist should reduce the override federate of rapid and feed with 1st time run. On the monitor read the ‘to go’ value. And if you hit feed hold in the countdown to the workpiece as it gets close, evaluate the distance. If you need 1 inch to reach workpiece, and your ‘go to’ value reads 5 inches to go. STOP and get assistance to correct.

    i worked in a maschineshop and i run 2 maschines at the same time... well while i was programming, one of them had a crash. it was 100% my fault. a few days later i crashed the other machine.. well i caused damage about 75k euros in total.. i was completely down.. I had to go to my boss, we had a conversation, I was so sure I would be fired. He said "Young man, you do great work, mistakes happen and these cost money. But that's not your problem. Focus on your parts and the machines.It's OKE to make a mistake, This can happen to anyone and even the best, the most important thing is that you learn from it and do not make mistakes twice. keep going! :) "

    We run three stars. A 32mm sv, a 32mm sr32j, and a 20mm sr20. All extremely solid machines. Mid program editing without scrapping the part just set tools to diameter of stock and cut ten thow big and dial that part in and minimize time in editing and getting it running to begin with. Will hold tough tolerances for hours. Material quality is the only weak point when it comes to a Swiss and a guide bushing in my opinion. I prefer to run eve trything centerless ground and it’s worth it it will run for hours. Love our stars so glad Swiss machines have a spot on titans!

    I am 22 and I was given a job of a tube bender on a huge CSM hydraulic CNC bender, and they told me absolutely nothing. They did not show me how to use the computer program that was by this point 20 years old, they did not show me how to properly disassemble and assemble various rolling dyes, bending dyes and corrugating dyes I had to learn everything from scratch by watching demonstrations on youtube, and I tried my best to be good at this job because the stakes were very high with the 50k costing ender. But I failed, and for reasons that soon I found out were not my doing. First of all the machine was heavily tampered by previous mechanics so various safety features would be of because you know how old guys are, all those rules and regulations are getting in the way and are soooooo annoying. Second thing is they somehow rewrote the programs to do slightly different operations than factory designed. How they managed to do this I really not sure because the codes are all locked. Someone really knew what they're doing. Third of all nobody told me anything about this. I made a program to bend a rail frame from 48mm pipe with 4 mm sidewall. It was extremely heavy pipe and I had to feed it into the machine with a overhead crane. Then what happened was I pressed execute bend program and the black hub that holds he tube in place crashed into the dye at huge speed mangling itself, destroying the dye and exploding the pipe like a fucking tulip flower, and not to mention that oil started to pour out of the machine because the hoses ruptured. The boss came and he started screaming ate me "you're gonna pay for this and that you little fucker" but then I stood my ground and told him that nobody showed me how it works, I had to watch youtube videos to find out for myself, none told me how the bloody programs were tampered with, and that was the sole reason the thing crashed so badly, because execute bend program button on a new program always does the first bending cycle while resetting the zero position, witch on a proper program should only happen if the pipe is not intertied and there is no dye on the spindle installed, there should be an error code, but because the sensors were removed for convenience, the machine assumed it was clear path. After I showed him everything he apologized to me, said he really didn't knew that older technicians in his company were such pieces of shit, he fired them on the spot and I got a huge promotion, and got new bender that only I will be working with, nobody else. I wonder if this could have been the case for the guy in the video? nobody showed him how to use it, just said "do your job" and let the 19yo kid go ballistic with the machine and ruined it without knowing any better.

    Started at GE gear plant in Lynn MASS. Mark 5 then Fanuc 4 axis cnc horz boring mill. Manufactured gearing cases for pumps. After about 2yrs I won the bid to work on RD project. 15k employees and I was in r25 classification and secured by RD . 1985 I am running 7axis CNC horz boring mill at that time largest in the U.S. x axis about 50ft slotted steel floor. Then a cnc rotation table that also went in and out. y about 20ft z 12in ram and 6in spindle also attachments put on ram for milling. We are devolving the largest high speed reduction gearing for new DDG class destroyers. Around 12 × 12 × 12 ft replacing 15 × 15 × 20 gearbox
    This all happened because I took Fanuc programming manual home and learned codes. I worked 3rd shift and wrote programs at night and tested them during lunch and breaks

    I work in automotive restoration, but there’s a machine shop right next door to us. One of their employees crashed their CNC lathe, tried to hide it, cut himself while trying to fix it, then just walked out.
    He sent them an email complaining about safety in the shop and proceeded to call OSHA on them. Dude tried to absolve himself of liability by crying about his boo boo… that he caused himself.

    Love stories like this cause I've been there and done that, we all make mistakes it's what we learn by making them that is Priceless information for the future . But as Sir Guy says in the movie The Magic Christian, Young man sometimes you must punish as well as teach . We all have been there ,you see someone doing something wrong and they just won't listen and take your advice, you weigh the options and let them screw up so they learn by the consequence of there actions as long as no one gets hurt and it doesn't cost alot, nothing is more humbling and educational than an , I told you so moment . What you learn today may save lives in the future , I worked as a crane operator in heavy industry where mistakes mame and kill people, 40 years of safe operations and witnessed and cleaned up many mistakes of others, I was the guy that got the 911 call to come clean up the sceew up , I was also the guy who got to say , You need a bigger crane LOL .
