Here you see the blade profiling machine in action. Today it is profiling one of sixty blades for the stage 3 compressor rotor for the X164 turbojet. This works very well indeed, this works by following the template on the front spindle and duplicates the profile 6 times smaller on the back spindle where the blade blank is secured. Please enjoy and rate!
Sweet! when will we be able to see a full assembly! ?

@Migueldeservantes Not for a while yet :-( before I can carry on with the other 59 blades I need to make a few minor adjustments to the machine, which will improve its performance. Then when I have done the the rest of the blades I will then need to make new spindles to shape the leading edges, then they will all need to be twisted from root to tip by the desired amount of degrees.
