If I'm not mistaken you missed how neat those CNC toolholders are,a bunch of them appear to be shrink fit toolholders that get heated up by induction until they expand enough to put the tool in then shrink as they cool again so the hole is too small for the tool to move. No clamping to come loose,just changing the size of a solid piece of steel for like ten thousand pounds of gripping force (according to the company I worked at years ago that manufactures those) so they make for incredibly rigid tooling to do that high speed high precision machining.

Quick fact about labor cost which Roman just briefly mentioned. In Germany right now, the Mindestlohn (Minimum wage, NO MATTER what you do!) is almost 13 (a bit over 15$) and its getting a bit more EACH year. Planned right now is 14.60 i believe starting in 1.1.2027. So yeah, ANY manual labor is pretty expensive here, but you can at least live from it. In China you could probably pay a whole factory with a german week pay

I have a question I cannot find an anser to. Will a delidded R7 X3D CPU have better cooling performance with an IAO vs. that same AIO on the factory AMD integrated heat spreader I am considering delidding my CPU for direct-die cooling (NOT watercooling), just an AIO like Lian Li Hydroshift II or BQ Silent Loop 3.

Whenever I watch the GN & GCN vids where Steve speaks Mandarin I think to myself not bad sounding.. from someone who speaks exactly 0 Mandarin OR Cantonese
Aber jetzt hat Steve auf Deutsch gesprechen!
sleightly stilted enunciation, but pretty damn good for a non-native speaker.

Besides prohibitive personnel costs, now germans have to deal with prohibitive energy prices due to sanctioning of countries they're not at war with, and shutting down of their most reliable and clean power plants (nuclear). I feel sorry for manufacturing workers in Germany.

Due to so expensive Energy costs in Germany, every good industry company is recycling as much as possible beeing for heating or cooling etc... its aweesome if you think about it because of high prices how creative people become just squeeze every bit of it.

Im sure engineers such as yourselves have thought of this already, but as a sheet metal worker, if you left a couple tags attaching the parent plate to the cut pieces you could break a lot more than one leg at once and then just trim the tags after.

Great video. Loved the end best. Really love learning about the engineering side from ideation to knowing how the tools work well enough to handle the idea for max efficiency, or in Roman's 1:1 case, inefficiency. :D Also, would buy lol.

Your German is: 8/10 comprehension / 4/10 pronunciation. But I give you extra credit for NOT butchering die word individuell (individual or customized). Pretty good for just reading it from a prompt (even with some min. rehersal).

i bought once from his company Endgame Gear. My product fell apart after 6 months and after contacting the support blamed and lowkey harassed me. I appreciate the honest content he puts out but i stay away from his brands.

As a German I am impressed by Steve's pronunciation! Often, when north Americans try to speak German, I, as a German, cannot understand it. this was FULLY understandable and rather accurately pronounced!

God it stressed me out when he reached into that bending machine while it was running.
I saw our lead prototype engineer get three of his fingers mushed and folded back on a cold forming machine once.

At least the products from Der8auer and ThermalGrizzly are still worthy of bearing the Made in Germany label. The rest of what comes out of this country is nothing but a disgrace and absolutely disastrous.

We have DMG Mori machines where I work that makes this stuff look like toys. Some with IPG lasers affixed to them. Most are automated either with internal Phanuc robots or external Universal robots.
