Unbelievable Mechanical Engineering.

[Loggy]

For those of you who like their CNC/CAD machinery!

Love to have one of those in the shed!

Beats the CNC router I built a few beats ago...

I have installed many CNC machines into Rolls Royce (Aero) and still can't drag myself away from the engineers viewing window as much as I try once they are operating!

Its also a similar fascination watching auto Robots working on a assembly line.

Spare a thought for the operators and programmers as well, these machines are only doing what we tell them!

Good Vid, Cheers

You make a very good point there Sparkton.

It must take some serious programming to programme a Lathe to do what that video shows! You could make a lot of very nice trick bits for the bike with that baby!

I'm self taught on a lathe and miller, love the skill that makes the machine do that.

Thanks for that - beautiful.

Not only is that machine awesome but the tooling.......what can I say ?

Did an engineering apprentiship as a machinist in my younger days, and 5 years post apprentiship on a CNC machining centre making aircraft, racing car, sattellite, missile stuff out of various alloys, titanium etc..

That video really takes me back, even though it was very interesting and challenging at times,it was really boring when big batch jobs came along.

The biggest problem was that it was woefully underpaid for the training and skills you needed, totally undervalued by pretty much everyone.

Fit kitchens for a living now for double the money you'd ever get in engineering, it's a real shame this country does'nt value the skills of engineers.
