It's looses it's wow factor after a while, until something new comes out that is. I love it when your doing heavy metal removal and the scrap hitting the guards sounds like a machine gun lol

that w16 vid is impressive, the rough cut doing the bores is crazy

the programing on the helmet must have took weeks

Yep I use a Chiron FZ15s 5 axis every day. All we machine is ally and the odd bit of titanium. Also use 3 and 4 axis Mazak and Chiron and 4 axis 4 metre long beds 2 with twin spindles and one with triple spindle
