Titan demonstrates the first cuts on a Doosan Ming 6500 machine using a large piece of titanium. He discusses the material's inherent inconsistencies, performs precise probing and setup to account for uneven surfaces, and successfully executes heavy power cuts to prepare the material for further machining.
What's up, guys?
It's Titan, Titans of CNC.
I'm here on the Doosan, the Ming 6500,
and we're gonna take our first cuts on this machine.
I'm excited!
Finally, after all of the moving,
we're gonna actually cut some chips, all right?
But first, I just wanna say, if you love the education,
you love our mission in lifting up our industry,

All right, so.
Check this out. I got this cool piece of titanium.
It's a big old chunk right here.
so nice and big nice and stout this is from TMS Titanium uh
these guys actually gave me some extra
pieces some drops that they actually had in stock
so i figured hey this is an awesome piece of
material let's actually throw some tools
in there let's actually make something happen one thing
that we know from experience is that titanium is inconsistent
when it comes to some of the
cuts and that's simply because of the process all right
so when we look at the thickness
We're going to see one side is going to be thicker than the other side.
First thing I'm going to do is double check
to see how big the material is.
So I got three inch 90 thousandths, 93.
Boom. Come to the other side.
Oh, that was within three thousandths.
That's actually pretty perfect right there. So then
I'm going to actually pop this guy down this way.
I'm going to check this side. So I got 4.210 and
I got 4.186. So about 25 thousandths.
So what I'm going to do first is I'm simply going to take this
side and make it parallel to this side.
So I'm going to grab it and pop it right in here.
You know, when I was talking about the inconsistency, check this out.
You see how the jaw is hitting the material here.
You can see a little bit of a gap over here,
a little bit. You come over here,
you can see it's hitting, but look right here,
it drops off. See that big gap right there?
So this tells me that when we actually cut
this part of it and I zero the top surface,
I got to make sure that I understand where
the low spot is and where the high spot
is so I can be incredibly accurate with my cut.
All right, so we
just finished
probing the
top surface,
which is this surface right here.
And now we're gonna probe our X and our Y.
So back here and over here, this exact corner.
This guy right here, it says corner number.
So if I actually change it,
you can see that it changes it here.
Boom, that's where I wanna be
because it's my upper left-hand corner.
That's number two.
Work offset is 54.
Input distance from where I'm at.
The distance over here, the distance,
I'm just going to put one inch,
so I'm going to say one inch, enter, one inch,
enter, boom, tells me to go back to memory,
hit memory, hit cycle start,
and now I'm going to actually cut some chips.
So you can
just see it
start cutting
those chips
right now,
boom,
dropping
them.
Oh, on the Minix, making it happen.
That's the first chips that we actually cut legitimately
in this shop on the Doosan.
Oh, it handled
it like a beast.
Absolutely beautiful.
So the last cut was at 80,000.
But as it came down, it actually tapered off.
And that's why it got quieter at the end.
Because it went from 80 down to about 50,000, 40,000.
Because it was uneven.
Now that I've flipped it over, and it's on a perfectly cut side,
we're going to actually drop down another 80 thousandths.
And that's going to be a full load.
So it's just going to be 80 thousandths all the way across.
Boom.
And it's going to be a nice power cut through.
Like
nothing
right
there.
Up in the load, it's just like nothing, right?
This beast is taking 80 thousandths,
three inches, over three inches wide,
with a four inch Doelca at 30 inches a minute,
80 thousandths depth of cut, killing it.
I'm excited.
Ugh!
All right, so absolutely beautiful cut right here in titanium.
You can see the chips are big and
kind of stringy, but that's just
because you have a monster tool that's taking a cut right across,
taking a cut right across, boom, boom, all the way throughout.
At the end of the day, nice and
consistent, looks beautiful.
So now I will actually go in deeper outside. I'll take it out.
I'll clean it, I'll flip it 90 degrees,
pop it down in there, so this side is actually
over here, and then we're going
to take some monster cuts on the next video.
Monster cuts.
It's going to be awesome.
