Awesome! That is one cool machine. Bet it is expensive. I cannot imagine the the CNC programming on that thing.

Programming is probably pretty straight foward with all the exotic software thats out there. Now if it was being run on an Old Mattsurra or Monarch-VMC-75 with Fanuc 5, or GE-550 control and they were MDI'ing all the info in and programming without cutter comp., I'd be giving mad props! Damn computer geeks, What happened to the true craftsmen? lol!

fantastic, thanks Kurt! Sure would have been allot less whittling if they started with a casting but my guess is that wasn't the point.

When are you rolling into Miami? I'll be in the 14th.
