large fast AC spindle motor drives the spindle, the axis motors are AC servos driven by the CENTROID CNC control. the program was generated by CENTROID's own Conversational programming software built right in the control, no cad/cam needed. you can see an updated higher res version of the version of the video is on CENTROID's youtube channel

what drives the headchuck? - high torque , gearboxed stepper motor ?
with such high spindle and feed rate speed wont the tool wear out faster?

@snuski the round bar thats being cut is probably a brass alloy 1/2 hard which is a very free machining type of material. The carbide turning tool would be rated for this type of speed and material. The tool should be able to turn chess pawns for at least 50 plus hours without any significant wear and even hold their diameter to within .003-.005". (Flood coolant being used of course)
