    Why settle for 3 axis when you can have 5

    p.s Dan/AndyCon Any chance you'd interested in splitting the cost

    And I thought my four axis machine were cool

    That's one machine you don't want to crash!

    Such a cool bit of kit, but can you image working out the tool path for making that helmet.
    Interestingly I didn't see any coolant (which even cutting ally I would have expected).

    Very, very cool, I WANT one!

    Regards, Dan.

    This is where we get most of our machining done at work.
    Fantastic bunch of lads!

    Ally, being such a soft metal, can be high speed cut without lubricant.

    FREAKING AMAZING! Boy, I'd love that machine. Hate to see the payments. I wonder how many lines of G code that takes to make a helmet like that?

    Just about! What's nice is you only have to flip the part like, once!
