Okay, to counter the porn post, how about some tool porn: YouTube video of 10 minutes of a 5 axis milling machine cutting a V8 engine block from solid stock. Complete with cheesey porn-like soundtrack. Via ToolMonger.
And because we like to send you straight to the original source for our porn, the English Matsuura home page, and the 5 axis machining subsection of their pages.

50 years ago, on might have anticipated that this would be presented by Cincinnati Millacron Company. It's amazing how many people actually believe that the US is still a force to be reckoned with (beyond military brutishness)

Yep. It's been far more profitable to make money selling people adjustable rate mortgages than to actually make stuff.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
