Should get a waterproof GoPro mounted on that thing for close up action. Looks good, is that the old machine or the new one? Looks a lot different.

Thanks!  Not a bad idea about the gopro either.  That is the new machine btw.  I will probably make a thread on that one at some point.

Been looking at the gopro hero3 black.  Sexy camera!
 
Another non-descript machining video:

What makes this machine so much better then my old one (aside from the length of travel, zero backlash, more powerful & faster motor etc...)  Is that the spindle, and the coolant start AND stop in the programming!  I used to have to babysit it, or walk away, and come back and the spindle has been needlessly running, and the coolant as well. 
 
So far I have tested the machine to a little over twice what my other machines depth of cut has been, so that means instead of 20 laps at 0.02" DOC, i have easily gotten 0.05, and this is the first piece of copper cut on the machine. 

Looks AWESOME!

I am about to start another one.  I wonder if anyone would be bored to death watching a webcast of the block being made.  Does anyone do webcasting?

If you could get a better view of the cutting I would end up watching it for awhile lol. Find it fascinating what it does.

The far more popular "non see through" model:




 
Again, unfinished.  Just raw copper straight off the machine. 

Me too. Got a link. I'll watch my block being made. Makes it feel even more 'custom'

I haven't the faintest idea.  I have never done it. 

The parting shot for the night:

Just made a top and dropped it on.  No screws, no frills.  Just so you guys can see.
 
I hope to finish it tomorrow.

Beautiful work mate. Very excited to get myself a nateman_doo custom!

Are you able to get the copper nickel plated?
