              OMG. I swear if I had that CNC machine, I'd never go to sleep.
              Anyone have an idea what those things cost? I'm expecting six digits...

                    Sure - it looks to me like a 6-axis CNC mill. ;)

                    Who ever figured out the tool paths is a god.

                      Yeah that is what I was thinking when I saw it, some crazy programming went into that thing.

                      It is a machine tool, I work on them all day at work, calling it a machine is just fine. But I just work on lame Haas VF-0, VF-2, VF-3, and VF-6, nothing that cool. But I have installed some lathes that have about that many axes at my last job... Pretty fricken sweet.

                          Its a single axis or multiple axes. It was used correctly.

                              Nice vid and nice helmet. I remember the one from a year or so back where an engine was carved out of a block of aluminum. Pure awesomeness.

                              plural form of axis.
