If you've spent any time in online machining communities, you know the name. 

Titan Gilroy has been one of the most talked-about — and most polarizing — figures in online machining for over a decade. Whether you're a fan or a skeptic, there's no question he's had an impact on how a generation of machinists learned the trade.

We sit down with Titan for a long, unscripted conversation that covers a lot of ground. We hear how he got into machining, how he built and ran a shop doing aerospace and subsea work, and how that eventually led to what Titans of CNC is today. We dig into the technical stuff too — speeds and feeds, CAM software, five-axis strategy, fixturing, and what he actually thinks separates a good machinist from a great one.

We also get into the business side: landing customers, negotiating contracts, running multiple shifts, and what he'd tell a shop that's been around for years but can't seem to move forward.
