Jake walks us through how to start the 4th operation on this part.
Every part is different, so the process can change depending on the job. But this is typically what goes into most of the parts we run here at our shop.
What other parts of the machining process do you want to see next?

Most people see metal getting cut. We see surface speed, chip load, and heat control.
When a CNC tool is spinning at thousands of RPM, friction builds instantly.
That heat can destroy tooling, warp material, and ruin tolerances if it’s not controlled properly.
That’s where coolant comes in.
Coolant isn’t just there to “spray and look cool.” It reduces heat, lubricates the cut, clears chips away from the tool, and protects the integrity of the part.
Without it, tool life drops, finishes suffer, and precision goes out the window.
Machinists, what’s the tightest tolerance you’ve held on a lathe this year?
Have you ever used a power washer before?
Most of them run around 2,000–3,000 PSI.
Now multiply that by 20. That’s the kind of pressure our OMAX 80X waterjet runs at, up to 60,000 PSI.
Right now, it’s cutting through 3 inches of armored steel like it’s nothing. We use it to cut thick raw stock clean and precise, then send those parts to our CNC machines to be finished to exact tolerances.
