It is a really nice CNC mill, but i don't wish to rearrange my life as needed to keep it busy enough to pay for itself. I couldn't possibly afford one otherwise.

I have seen one of those in real life, and i can assure you they are just as impressive, if not more. I dont think you can acutally guage the performance until you actually see how fast these machines run in wild.

And that one? I didn't even thought that was possible.

Cool. Here's a short video of how it works:

Amazing machines. The engine blocks are impressive!

I knew it was possible, I just didn't know if it was done. AC servo drive motors are amazing!

We have machines that do this: Note that the camera has little chance to keep up and therefore the video is badly aliased.

I watched several of these demo videos. Wow. Wonder what the rotation rate of the cutting tools are to achieve that rate of metal removal? Bet it won't run nearly as fast with tool steel or titanium, but still...

For the amount of repetative movement in multiple axes, the precision is amazing. The neatest trick was cutting flat faces while the work piece and cutting tool were both rotating. I'd expect the deforming of the cutting tools while moving that fast must affect accuracy, too.

Pretty much as i had figured from the video. It could not help but wow a marketing type or most managers.
