Today we're going to see how desktop CNC mills are made. We're going inside the Makera factory, a relatively new Chinese startup that went from a few guys who wanted to make drones in their spare time, to running a very successful kickstarter and building out a complete factory. We'll see how they make very accurate machines, starting from the raw aluminum, all the way to putting a finished product in a crate, ready to ship out.

So happy that you're feeling better enough to be posting videos again. You're one of my favorite creators and I love to learn about what you show us each video.
-
huge props to the owner for showing you around and talking in english!
-
Thank you Josh and Makera for inviting us all into your factory. What an amazing experience. Thank you Scotty for making the effort to show us all that "Made in China" actually means a lot.
-
Maybe it's partly because I have a Carvera and was super impressed by the build quality, but I feel like this is one of your best factory tour videos. And that's saying something, for the king of factory tour videos. And props to Makera for being so open. I know it's marketing, but it didn't feel like any kind of sanitized smoke and mirrors show.
-
I love the enthusiasm you’re showing the owner, and his English is excellent. I’m pretty sure though most of your audience (like me) are engineering based, and have huge interest in how things are made! So I’d love to see more tours like this please.
-
So many custom tools and jigs, this is very cool! I love how Josh knows every part of the process and the person manning it, huge props and respect.

Great to see you back at it and feeling better. Thanks for sharing.

That Mituitung indicator 😁 Awesome look into this company, their transparency is great and it's a good example of mid-large scale manufacturing
-
Its so good to see you on the factory floors again showing how things actually are inside the factories. Like you said in the episode, not everything is perfect and machine automated. People have to understand some stuff is pretty hands on customlike.
-
18:18 That dial indicator was quite funny - "Mituitung"! 😄 I've got a no-name 10 bucks caliper at home, and stuck a label on its box that says "oyotutiM".

I am a packaging engineer in the US. We outsource our cratees inside the US. It aint cheap but its so much more efficient and there is also some wood regulations
-
I have a Chinese friend who has worked in the factories like this, they are skilled professional from universities and they are proud of their workmanship.
-
Good to see some interesting factory visits again :ø)
-
Super happy to see a new video! The lack of safety glasses in use in some parts of this caused me a little pain.
-
Scotty, I'm so happy that you're well enough to do the videos you love again. I've been following since your collab with LTT making a PC out of parts from Shenzhen and love watching what you do.
-
I wasn't expecting this to be as cool as it was. So much fun. And as usual, I'm humbled as a one language speaker. Your guide's English was so impressive!
-
Love seeing the smile on Mr. Guo's faces while he is working on the lid of the machine! 10:55
-
Love this kind of video, glad to see more from you. Hope you're feeling well
