Thats a mean ass machine. Too bad it plays techno while it works. lol
Leave the gun.....take the cannoli
If I had known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself!
saw another 5 axis machine at the northwest machine tool expo in portland back in may. too cool for school, but definitely an investment for the serious fabrication outfit....

Very cool. I was in awe the first time I saw a Moog lathe back in '85 or so. Technology is awesome.

You got what it takes to program it.
I'm programming a Hypermach now.
I almost cut my hair, it happened just the other day.
It was gettin' kinda long, I could've said it was in my way.
But I didn't and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly
I was thinking "Someone has to tell those tools where to cut." And of course you came to mind.

Here's part I'm working on. It is part of a thrust reverser.
This is the stock and the part. The stock is transparent.
It is actually a 9 ft long hinge.
