Yowza! That's awesome. If I every win the lottery and have an extra million or so laying around I think I'll buy one of those and tool it up to make Shay Locomotive crankshafts!

Yea, it's amazing what you can do with 5 axes of motion, indexing on all rotary spindles and 20 hp spindle motors. I couldn't even aford the software that would be needed to do the G Code for that machine. The feeds an speeds they were using were a bit mind bogling compared to what I'm used to.
