Hard to imagine Eric. My sister is actually a programer for one of the air craft engine manufaturers and the brother in law a machine operator.Some of the brackets and stuff he made for his vett when he had it was unreal.He would never look to buy anything. If he need a pulley they made it.I got to tour the plant once it was something else.
Thanks for sharing

CNC's are pretty amazing nowadays. Programmed and ran a few different types in my day and even some that had spindle speeds of 60,000 rpm. Cut everything from carbon for EDM electrodes to hardened steel mold core/cavities. If you can dream it, you can cut it.

Wow. Sure puts my old bandsaw, grinder, and anvil to shame. I am stuck in the early 1900's.
