I will say, when I see the "Matsuura" machining being done, I see a ton of wasted cutting time. This is the 4th or 5th part I have seen being made and I assume it must be the same programmer because it seems the same MO.

IE: Small cuts, slow feed, 4th or 5th axis being used when only 3 axis is necessary.

It is definitely cool to watch, but there is alot of room for improvement.

See to untrained eye like mine i'm thinking "holy shit that thing is hogging out some serious material" but i'm used to running a bridgeport

I'd love to dive into some serious cnc milling and lathing, anyone out there looking for an ambitious intern?

Ya know, you might just give a call to Kevin at R&R Prop Shop in Henderson. He's got a big Fedal 30x60x30 and just not enough time to run it...he's a prop shop primarily. I guess he might be interested in an intern to run it. 702-564-7502. Worth a call or a drive by.

Man, thats just cool. That makes my job as an accountant seem so phucking boring. I picked the wrong career.

If you are making money, I doubt that.

I'm actually having Kevin build me a custom forged cnc'd 2 blade v-drive prop right now.

Yeah, he told me about that...and I told him about this post. Hit him up!

Has to be one expensive motor. Cool to watch.

I would probably agree with that statement....but if you WANT to be a machinist and you are an accountant....that is a different story.
