Re: any one else find this cool
Gav, that is very cool, i could do some damage with one of them
 I was at an exhibition once and they were machining a persons face looking up towards the cutter, from a solid block of some plastic and it was amazing. I like the water jet cutters, they are cool as well, cant believe abrasive water can cut such think materials, fast too. |

Re: any one else find this cool
I vote cool...
Can I be an engineer when I grow up? Although I imagine that the skill lies in being able to program the machine to cut the block into what you need? That must take a lot of maths...

Re: any one else find this cool
It's still interesting when you work on them everyday. Well, the Matsuura is, the laser gets boring quickly. At work we do most of the programming on the machine, not much CAD/CAM.
The maths is the best part That's not half of it though. You've got to know what you can do with each tool, and what tools you need etc.. And you can't learn much of that in books.
