That billet is getting raped by that mill.....cnc=mechagodzillapenis.....Sweeeeeet.I wonder what a 6 axis is like....Makino has some really cool stuff too, indeed.

cnc>porn . . . . i stand corrected

KYUUBI2,porn has NOTHING on cnc machines.

BOBHAHA,how so given youd rather watch a cnc milling machine on youtube rather than watching porn or having sex. i take it, it was a personal choice.

WOW you are sad!

cnc=porn , this is sexy

as amazing as cnc machines r, ive never seen 1 that can cut a sqaure.i almost prefer watching this than porn....actually, i can watch this longer.no offence ladies...........as if a woman watch something like this!

Now that is fricking awesome! Technology shows practically and in action!

wow!!! all i'm learning on at my college is a 4-axis hardinge cobra machine from last centruy lol. This is beyond what i ever thought cnc could do as a new student to it. Incredible!

I'm astonished. After running a 4 axis mill on a limited number of basic designs, this is impressive.......to me.

- @ Dragonstud -No, you misunderstand.You would be there for a while keying data in. That's a lot of typing coordinates into a computer.I've made plenty of complex parts manually on a lathe and mill.

qoute "f you had to manually enter coordinates for every point and movement you'd be there for years"umm so how do you think people made stuff before cnc,s came out ....doh!!!

iv been an engineer for 15 years and made parts for wessex helicopters by hand!!! so dont even start shit .....dont get me wrong iv worked on cnc,s but it takes the real hard work out of mechanical enineering compleatly not that any of you are engineers "probably"....I can make anything and I use that term loosely, these days i do just special effects everything is made totaly by hand which I enjoy alot more

you forgot all the hard work that built this machine..this is an engineering masterpiece

I've always argued if art is supposed to signify how humans advance in terms of understanding, ability and social awareness, machines like this deserve an equal but respect. They're an example of what humanity has achieved. No 'normal' on the street understands the kinds of forces and precision involved, how that was produced originally and what it can do. The first time I showed my artistic brother a video of a HAAS lathe it blew him away. No appreciation of were all this stuff comes from

"If you had to manually enter coordinates for every point and movement you'd be there for years. "I used to have a Denford Orac training lathe. All the moves were set on a membrane panel keypad. That was hard enough, but the damn buttons were very picky about being pressed hard. Many decimal place errors resulted in a tedious learning curve. I think the newer CAM software has collision warnings based on the machine and tool dimensions it knows it's running. I'd love that engine block!

Yeah you try making me a turbo impeller blade by hand for me and see hoe shitty it turns out. And as far as "true" engineering, all of that was done when the part is actually designed. Anyone can import a CAD model into a program that will write them the CNC program and run it.

- @ weenchops -It's been 15 years since I worked with a CNC. They've gotten easier, but you can still easily crash a tool into the spindle and then you're machine is down for repairs. It happened a lot at the trade school I was at.If you design the part in CAD then you do have the ability to send it to the CNC machine and most of them are able to figure out how to go about milling or turning.If you had to manually enter coordinates for every point and movement you'd be there for years.

how hard are these to program??

well make one by hand with a badger or sumit then get back to me lol
