    Two x-y-z live tools with a sub-spindle. Yup. Neat, but it's a hand coding nightmare. No software package is smart enough to write the toolpaths for that machine. You'll have to write the g-code yourself. I bought a 7 axis mill-turn and honestly it was a mistake. I should have just got a 5 axis because the CAM software can actually handle that.

    I'm not sure what would be drilled with that, but it looks kind of fragile.
    Stupid is forever, ignorance can be fixed.

    Is it a twist drill or is it some kind of auger? Because you're right, if that's brass it's probably not the best material for a drill. Unless you're drilling cheese.

    Probably a demo during a trade-show to demonstrate capabilities. Using brass to prolong tool changes.
