They should sell that equipment to podiatrist’s. People’s feet be jacked bruh..

Not to take away from your post, but you should see the machining process of a 50-inch titanium bypass fan being machined from start to finish. I've been in aviation for many years and it never gets old see the CNCs in action.

I use a CNC router and laser cutter at work, it really is amazing to watch.

Been doing this my whole adult life, a real love/hate trade. Current project is on a Eurotech twin spindle twin turret lathe. Only ONE turn tool for the job, everything else is a live tool used as a mill, with an additional 360° axis through the main/sub spindles. I have another of the same machine doing a 90% turning job. Can't show the parts tho I like these machines, I wish the live tooling had more RPM though. (4k max )

I've worked on Trumpf lasers cutting sheet metal. The programming of it is interesting, but not the operating of manually changing the sheets (even if they did have automatic pallet changers) or changing of the burnt slats.

I'm lucky enough that what we do has a bunch of variety, almost everything is custom so it doesn't get monotonous.

Absolutely, parts need to come off complete or as close to it as possible. They look at additional ops as a death sentence. They also want these crazy complex jobs to run lights out. LMAO ok I'll get right on that.......
