Wondering if anyone here has seen the cable show "Titans of CNC." A violent criminal left prison and started a CNC business, and then he went back to teach CNC to other inmates.
I can't think of any other TV shows that feature machining.

Titans of CNC
Every hard-fried egg began life sunny-side up.
Re: Titans of CNC
Never seen it in the UK but keep seeing eps on YouTube every time I search a Fusion 360 question. Not aware of his backstory just seems like another guy who watched far too many episodes of American chopper and thought that look will make me a mint.
You must admire cable TV who can make a drama out of thin air and even thinner material. Or I could be just getting old and cynical.
His online CNC academy to be fair is a very handy resource for learning CAM though, so I wish him well and pushing youngsters into manufacturing can never be anything but a good thing.

Re: Titans of CNC
He looks a little rough, but he has an established CNC company with some impressive machinery.
My guess is that he came by his look honestly, as an ex-con and former street thug.
Here in America, the "crazy haircut and tattoos" look did not come from American Chopper. It started in prisons. People like the Teutuls are posers who copied the look. It's very sad, but in America, we now do our best to look like the biggest losers in society.

Re: Titans of CNC
Okay. I watched and am impressed. I will not surrender. There is always something which renders the newest obsolete. I don't want that to happen. This is great stuff but what happened to casting ? Far less material waste than carving out of solid.
Right. Set and programed to known parameters. The unknown, the essential, program that or not. Some machine shop down the street can do that. Well it isn't down the street anymore.
