Betcha' can't do this on YOUR lathe

Gotta wonder how much a machine like that would set a shop back? Love to have one, I'll stop in the showroom on my way home from picking up my lottery winnings and get one or maybe even two......

Well thanks for that, I'm selling all my equipment and living on the streets...........:whiteflag:

There is some major black magic/voodoo/witchcraft going on over in China I think!!! :nuts:

I'm stunned.
 
Can someone tell me what we just saw happen? Did George Lucas have something to do with it? Maybe a super slow mo is in order here.

I've been writing embedded software/firmware for over 20 years, and can understand the timing relationship between the spindle position and the multi-insert cutting tool, but I was very amazed/impressed to actually be able to watch that! Not sure I'd like to tackle those mathematical algorithms in a program though. I'm more of a block/data and interface protocol programmer. :)

I have this image of how dangerous the shop was when they started designing that. There must have been pieces flying everywhere in the early days. :yikes:
 
LOL! Yeah, for sure I would do the first tests with aluminum...

Hard to believe they got the timing right on that -and it doesn't appear to be mechanically coupled and now that I think about it, you couldn't couple it mechanically because the cuts are incremental.

Even though that's really darn cool, I wonder how much advantage there is given that what they're doing appears to be easily done with a mill.
