Two and a half min of high tech machining . jholland will never steer you wrong...Trevor

Pretty neat for a corporate video. They showed more of the machine working than most would. That's a neat looking machine. I like the camera display on the controller - I haven't seen that before. That's pretty handy. Then again I don't work around machines that large. I wonder how they keep the camera lens clean, lol. I suppose in Europe when they more often use the -absolute- bare minimum cutting fluid, it's easier.

We do some landing gear cylinders here, mostly in our HMCs with some lathe work. The ones we do are not for bigass 777s or A350s, though. Ours are like 24" long lol. Still a quite challenging part!

Seeing one that's like 20' long is pretty nifty. I will have to show this one to those guys.
