Hi All

Thought a few might be interested in watching a 5 axis at work with a Stone Column.

               

Cheers  :beer:

way cool  :mmr:

That's quite some machine! And it looked to me like the stone was mounted on a mandrel which was eventually visible, so the final result was three (?) intertwined helices with a hole down the middle. Wow!

That's pretty neat, Don.  Made an interesting thing, too.
Do you know how long something like this takes to turn out?  In stone, I mean.

I have no idea how long it would take. I just bumped into that video as I was chasing down something else and thought others might be interested in it as well. It just amazes me what they can do with the cutters, materials and 4 and 5 axis machines.

Cheers  :beer:
