You’re wrong Eric about the last mile comment.For me it is the joy I am getting watching this videos that tell a most wonderful story of a man and his dream! God bless you Eric Cortina!!!!
All your efforts do matter! I know others feel the stress and excitement of this endeavor with you through your videos.. Thank you for taking the time to include us. It’s worth the wait!! 😎
Coming from someone with almost 20 years in CNC Machining and Machining in general....you have bought the best machine that money can buy....everything Mori Seiki and DMG has ever made is a HOSS of a machine!!!
There are certain people that are going to succeed at whatever they do. You are one. I never heard of you before, you popped up on my feed cause I watch machine videos, and I have 2 dmg machines. To go from 0 knowledge to getting trained to run a machine is impressive. Good luck.
Wish I could be there to watch. This is the closest I have ever been to a cnc machine. Thank You so much for bringing us along and you are wrong about us not caring about you working so hard.
Like every professional activity, the training and preparation are what make excellence possible. Take your time, enjoy, learn. When you start taking orders for the black tuner/muzzle brake, I'm in.
It's coming together Erik , I think we all know it takes time, and everything has it's own time. Stay the course and you as well as all of us will be blessed with rewards of your hard work
Hey man I am a behind the scenes kindah person. I am watching a guy live the dream. You had an idea, got tiered of relying on unreliable people. and took the matter into your own hands. You telling the story of how your idea came to be a self manufactured product is amazing. The story behind your product all most means more to me than having the product. I may never compete with your product. But having it to enjoy and play with. I cant wait for. Watching this start from the ground up is cool. Thanks man. My order will be in soon. When I start seeing chips fly, and the lead time on a new barrel drop. I will have one on order. living in CA its hard to find a machine shop willing to cut, chamber and thread a barrel is damn near imposable.
DMG Mori is a very high quality machine. It’s so much nicer than a Haas. Spindle speed on it is very good for roughing and finishing of hardened parts without needing to anneal. Welcome to the world of machining, your world is about to be change forever. You’re going to wake up in the middle of the night wondering if you checked the ph of your coolant tank.
And if you let that coolant sit for a few days it will get to stinking ! There is these little wheels that skim the oil out of the coolant tank and they help big time!
Ray Blankenship There are synthetic and semi synthetic coolants that don’t smell if left sitting. What makes them stink is bacteria growth. I have a semi synthetic oil in my lathe that doesn’t stink at all.
@@raybship1 It does depend on the quality of the Soluble Oil you are using. The old school ( Mineral ) Cutting Oils are very bad for growing bugs which is not great for you and the machine. But an Oil Skimmer Definitely makes a difference. Best to use either Semi Synthetic or Full Synthetic Cutting Oils regardless of the machine.
@@raybship1 A well maintained new machine without oil leaks , paired with the correct coolant for the materials you're gonna run Won't stink after a few days . Not even after weeks , but a "middle aged machine" that was never properly cleaned will smell like shyte .
Good to see Leroy. Erik, in a way it matters to us. We are here watching you take us through the steps in building your business, offering you moral support. Hope that helps you out in any way.
Eric I enjoy your videos very much. I have been a CNC programmer almost as long as there has been CNC. I can tell by your personality that you will be a successful programmer. You picked a very good machine brand and it will serve you well
I feel like a junky getting a fix from the dealer. Watching and waiting for this process to come to life is exciting. I'll have to start calling you DOC TUNE !
@@vibesstr Maybe a start up business at a slightly higher level. But in reality it is basically considered a small business. 500k is a lot of money in your pocket. But not a lot in business terms. This is considered a pretty small business. You have to consider the guys age though ? He is not in the 18 to 25 year bracket. He has had time to generate some backing for himself financially. 1 machine in a workshop is pretty small scale when looking at a machining business.
@@weldmachine I think it’s all about the reference point . If you compare this guy business with some other guys which own millions of dollars worth machines , then yes , he is running a small business .
@@vibesstr You seem to be interested in CNC machines ? What would be your machine of choice ? I am mostly talk reality though, not your perfect dream machine, LOL
"Well I'm not well trained...but I'm gonna be" LMAO! That's awesome, keep it up man. That motto is pretty much how I've learned everything so far in life- aviation, filmmaking, programming, reloading, business, too many to count. I'm just hoping one day I can get a basic lathe, or if I'm real fancy get one with a DRO...I hardly know anything about them but I'll learn. I'm always happy to hear someone who ACTUALLY cares about their business and customers! :)
Mind blowing machinery! I think you're gonna have to upgrade that window unit A/C. You are an excellent example of determination to achieve the American dream. It's never easy.
Wow Erik, this is a long way from the little red benchtop lathe and mucho bettero. But being the "Mental Giant" that you are, no problem. Everybody breaks a bit or tap so I like to do it right away and get it over with. Looking forward to seeing you drive this thing.
Bro who runs Texas pride trailers I'm in Hawaii at the dump ......truck pulls up with a Texas pride trailer and I immediately thought of you and Matt lol...
I cam in my shop one day and my CNC vertical milling center's tool holder was rotating backwards. I would call for tool 18 and end up with 2 as an example. It took me all day and then i realized that the tool changer was the only thing that was not on a servo drive was the changer. I reached over and hit my lathe and sure enough it was backwards. Sometime the prior night the electrical company had a problem with the lines and when they hooked them up they hooked them up wrong and had 2 of the three phase lines backwards. It took them 4 months to change it. In the mean time i just reversed my wiring in my shop....
EC TunerBreaks.....wow what a difference it makes. Received mine already... at number 7 on the dial, I had a 3 shot group in one hole...never been able to do that with my 308 before. You guys and gals will love this. Oh, and the muzzle break works better than the factory break that came with the rifle. Outstanding Erik. Thanks..... now can you make me a new barrel now with that fancy machine yet??? lol
Eric, you're the greatest. It's rare to see something like this go together, and if I could I'd come over and carry the water for you, Heck, I'd even bring you some if they weren't sending all of ours to LA.
There is alot of behind the scenes things that people do not see when it comes to manufacturing parts . They think it just happens and you are giving them the full picture . You have been so calm and collected not showing the stress involved . Thats why most CEO's are bald . You are doing better than most could . Keep up the great job and one step at a time . That last mile is nothing but a few steps considered how many miles you have already done .👍👍👍🤯
Getting there, looking good. You'll do yourself a huge favor by purchasing your coolant in a 55 gal drum and installing a coolant mixer. You'll need a waterline but it will save you time and muscle strain. Don't forget to get a refractometer to check the coolant mixture, it changes over time while it's in the machine, so you'll want to check it fairly often for ideal performance. Can't wait to see the next episode! 👍
I’m a machinist in the aerospace industry and we use TRIM coolant so if you don’t like the kind you got it would be worth looking into. Never used the kind you have but whatever you do don’t use Blaser coolant.
Everyone has their own specs but different coolants are rated for longer life with different metals. Some coolants don’t work well when you mix metals. Some work better with certain metals and some are only for composites.
@@tacticalrabbit308 the blaser coolant will rot in your coolant tank and smell terrible and it leaves a film on your finished part. Trim doesn’t smell or leave a film and it’s also biodegradable
congratulations, you are truly a person with great character. I wish you every possible luck in this sad time of economic stagnation. Greetings from Italy.
Down the rabbit hole you go 👍...barrels,tuners and breaks ohhh my ...I’m pretty sure you can create your own rifles from now on and can’t wait to see the results
I got my tuner in and it’s flawless and can’t wait to get it dialed in. Crossing my fingers for more caliber selections and for a .8” ish version for my AR.
You have put your all into this business. I hope you do great things with your equipment. Be careful and take time to learn. Mistakes happen with 1 touch of a button and can cost $$$$$.
Big job Eric but all essential and you are doing a great job setting it up right , all worth it in the long run and once up and running and any teething issues worked out it will be time to relax and make chips .
Nice one EC , this is the american dream !! Hard work , honesty , confidence , i wish you all the best , by the way for a cz 457 mtr 22 lr . , it work s great , your tuner ?
I know you have a lot of money tied up in that machine so you might want to look into an Ingersoll Rand rotary screw compressor, they are really good for clean, no moisture in the airlines but still have a dryer for any residual moisture in the airline just in case. Just a thought in case moisture in that machine over time damages it.
My thoughts on starting a business. Starting a New Business from the ground up is both Very rewarding but very tiring . You keep going hoping there is some light at the end of tunnel. Many fail to see it through till the end, thinking it is either to hard or it is not for them. Happy to say i kept going because i knew what giving up would mean to me ???? Climbing mountains is Not for everyone. So please give some thought to those who climbed there mountains to reach the top and fight everyday to stay there. Being in business is NOT as easy as some seem to think. Don't be jealous of those who made it work for them. If you never push yourself. You will Never succeed. At Anything.
Hehehe you think the compressor run time is noisy. Nightly draining the tank is pretty loud. You could try an outhouse looking shed for the compressor. Make sure the oil check and other checks are allowed in any enclosure. A waste oil and coolant storage tank might help. Collect banners to absorb shop noise echos :)
Two predictions...1) you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it, and 2) you’ll be looking for other things to make because it’ll be so efficient that you only need to run it a few days a month.
Call Blaser. I recommend synergy 735. It has no emulsifiers, so oil won’t contaminate your coolant and it has a 36month sump life. No smell. It’s great on your skin too. Won’t cause dermatitis . One thing though. This stuff requires DI water. Oh did I forget to mention, because you have a new machine. Blaser with fill your machine with coolant for free on the first charge up.
You might need to consider changing your name on the chanel from Erik the Pro Shooter to Erik the Machinist! Good job sir and looking forward to seeing that machine working in the next video.
After you get everything setup and going you can figure how many inserts and drills you are going to be going through a month and setup an account with groves industrial and they will ship you inserts and drills every month
Erik, did anyone tell you to use distilled water to make your coolant mixture? Plus, there is more to it than one would think. Make sure you ask a bunch about it because it’s important to get it right and maintain it correctly. Otherwise bad things can happen. Besides that , I applaud you for going for it! Keep going and good luck with everything.
Erik i hope you got an extended warranty on that CNC machine looks fancy it will speed up your production and help you control the quality of your product.... AWESOME God Bless
I will need to import your muzzlebrake tuner by an importer here in canada! I dont know how much it will cost, I dont know how long it will be but for sure, I know it will worth it. You did it the hard way, you did it your way. This is a really inspiring project, keep it up!
Do you have a plan for deburring? I've seen tons and tons of man hours wasted on deburring when there are tools out there to do it while still in the machine.
Great video! You are incorrect! I am watching because you are interesting and doing something extraordinary! I don't shoot! A bit of skeet and trap less than 20 times. Your last mile is your own construct! For you, milestones count.....that is you!! I am just enjoying a man doing incredible things tap dancing, juggling puppies, skiing downhill, in a mogul field, during and earthquake!! :P You are doing very well! Don't drop the puppies!!! :P Hang in there bud, you go this!!!
Talk to your coolant company about type of water to use. I’ve never heard of any manufacture recommending tap water. Use DI, RO, or distilled. You want it free of minerals. Tap water is great for drinking but not for coolant. And yes I learned the hard way. Nice machine feed it premium coolant.
@@ErikCortina Hi . I work for Wabtec. Wabtec bought General Electric Transportation. 12 billion $. The company builds locomotive engines. 85 percent of the building is a machine shop. Every machine is cnc . Building is 500k sq. ft. Mazak Mori Seiki ect. I know the costs of machines.. Either you hit the lotto or pro shooting pays really well. Your vids are informative and done reall well.
I've been watching all his thses video and just realized I have no idea what the parts he is making are for?? I know they have something to do with 🔥 arms
Erik sells muzzle brakes, tuners and combo muzzle brake/tuners. Erik is a competitive shooter. These items he sells are useful in improving the accuracy of your rifle, whether you are a competitive shooter, a hunter or just a plinker. As far as rifles go, everyone prefers an accurate one over an inaccurate one, especially competitive shooters. The following is my understanding of the items he will be making in his new CNC machine. Muzzle brake. When you fire a rifle the bullet and gas from the explosion go down the barrel and out the muzzle. The muzzle brake directs some of the gas sideways as it exits the barrel. This reduces the push-back into your shoulder to make for a smoother firing rifle. Smoother firing means it’s easier to be accurate with your shots. The muzzle brake is screwed onto the end of your barrel. Tuner When you fire a rifle the barrel is exposed to a lot of force which causes it to vibrate/ oscillate. This can cause some problems with accuracy because the bullet can exit the barrel in an inconsistent manner from one shot to the next. A tuner can reduce the harmonics in the barrel and help the bullet exit the barrel in a more consistent manner, resulting in improved accuracy. Erik’s tuners are also screwed onto the end of the barrel. There are also other types of tuners that go around your barrel like donuts, but they are unattractive and kind of primitive in comparison to Erik’s tuners. Brake/Tuner Combo This screws onto the end of the barrel and provides both a muzzle brake and a tuner in one combined unit. Note: Some barrels come from the factory with a threaded portion at the muzzle end if the barrel so you can screw muzzle brakes or tuners onto the end of your barrel. In other cases you might have to get your gunsmith to cut threads on the end of your barrel.

I can only imagine how much this is costing you.
at least 400k so far
@@fatal510 I can't even afford to pay that much for a house. lol
@@MAGAMAN the lathe alone is over 250k
@@fatal510 He'll probably break even after he sells 200,000 tuners!
@@greggjohnson7667 only needs to sell a few thousand to break even probably.
Hi. we are also using same machine
Better keep a large repair fund on the side because being a newbie you WILL eventually crash the machine, and those repairs are extremely expensive.
Talk to your coolant company about type of water to use. I’ve never heard of any manufacture recommending tap water. Use DI, RO, or distilled. You want it free of minerals. Tap water is great for drinking but not for coolant. And yes I learned the hard way. Nice machine feed it premium coolant.
eric, love your channel man, but i wish you could keep the camera a little more still
Indoor air compressor already showing to be a bad idea
CHIPS, we want to see chips........LOL.
So was this machine free or did you have to buy it. Dmg machinery is not cheap
Where are they giving away DMG Mori lathes? Sign me up! 😂
@@ErikCortina Hi . I work for Wabtec. Wabtec bought General Electric Transportation. 12 billion $. The company builds locomotive engines. 85 percent of the building is a machine shop. Every machine is cnc . Building is 500k sq. ft. Mazak Mori Seiki ect. I know the costs of machines.. Either you hit the lotto or pro shooting pays really well. Your vids are informative and done reall well.
Failure is not an optio
Why do I get the impression that dmg mori is a much better company than hass? 🤔
😂
i know how to design with tinker cad and 3d print... can i come work for you.... nah... that's ok lol
I've been watching all his thses video and just realized I have no idea what the parts he is making are for?? I know they have something to do with 🔥 arms
Erik sells muzzle brakes, tuners and combo muzzle brake/tuners. Erik is a competitive shooter. These items he sells are useful in improving the accuracy of your rifle, whether you are a competitive shooter, a hunter or just a plinker. As far as rifles go, everyone prefers an accurate one over an inaccurate one, especially competitive shooters. The following is my understanding of the items he will be making in his new CNC machine.
Muzzle brake.
When you fire a rifle the bullet and gas from the explosion go down the barrel and out the muzzle. The muzzle brake directs some of the gas sideways as it exits the barrel. This reduces the push-back into your shoulder to make for a smoother firing rifle. Smoother firing means it’s easier to be accurate with your shots. The muzzle brake is screwed onto the end of your barrel.
Tuner
When you fire a rifle the barrel is exposed to a lot of force which causes it to vibrate/ oscillate. This can cause some problems with accuracy because the bullet can exit the barrel in an inconsistent manner from one shot to the next. A tuner can reduce the harmonics in the barrel and help the bullet exit the barrel in a more consistent manner, resulting in improved accuracy. Erik’s tuners are also screwed onto the end of the barrel. There are also other types of tuners that go around your barrel like donuts, but they are unattractive and kind of primitive in comparison to Erik’s tuners.
Brake/Tuner Combo
This screws onto the end of the barrel and provides both a muzzle brake and a tuner in one combined unit.
Note: Some barrels come from the factory with a threaded portion at the muzzle end if the barrel so you can screw muzzle brakes or tuners onto the end of your barrel. In other cases you might have to get your gunsmith to cut threads on the end of your barrel.
What? You don't know how to run it? Just flip the Switch man. Ha Ha.. I bet it is complicated.
Good Luck.Im sure you can handle it
