As a fitter machinist, I am so impressed. I just love the usability of any well thought out tool, or machine. That was heaps better than watching the sound of music . If I owned it? It would going straight past the pool room, and into the Master Bedroom .

I see a MASSIVE amount of custom programming. Must have taken MANY months to develop.  Impressive final result, but my gawd.. a huge amount of work.

If you ever get to the drags check out the SAINTY motor in the SANTOS rail.
All the other blocks are cast then CNC,d but that one is machined from a solid block of ally.
Even got SAINTY signature across the front.
CNC,d of course.
Stunning amount of programming.
Pretty to look at .
From a fitter and turners point of view that is
ART in Alloy

Not so Luke, just digitaly 3D scan a helmet import that into something like Mastercam and it's pretty much done. There would be literaly 2 million, if not more, lines of G Code (CNC language like DOS for computers) to do that.Checking that is a job for another program,

Yes  but Lawrence, he states they did NOT do a 3D scan! ergo a few zillion lines of code. Insane.
