This is a very cool machine! The fixed leadscrew is a revolutionary idea, something I've never seen before. I've been machining for 18 years and the biggest machine I worked on was a 5 metre flatbed Hankook design. Tailstock, steadys and all chucks were manual. It's great to see something that is fully automated. I would love a chance to work on one of these machines. I'm not a fan of the "Manual Guide i" though, I prove programs with the graphics in G-code and program directly to the drawing.
I want one!! I have no idea what I would make with it though but would like to see it in action. Last time I saw a cool machine like this they wouldn't let me near it!!! Just as well I guess being visually impaired.
ryobiguy, I am not a complete idiot.. The machine was not turned on when I was standing right next to it, and at the end I was well clear too, so no danger of having my head ripped off. But I appreciate your concerns for my safety.....Nick
@ryobiguy doesn't matter what you think, you're not the one signing the cheques. If you ARE the guy signing the cheques, then I pity your staff for having to work with someone who is so easily swayed from facts by small, unimportant things
If machine parts are obviously machined, how did they make the first lathe/mill, etc?

@MeestaNoName Folklore tells of a magical creature machining the first parts with the bones of children.

WHAT IS A PRECISION LATHE?

Neat lathe, but... Screw this guy if he's wearing a tie next to a lathe. I'm just not going to believe a damn word he says.
