Look at the size of this stylus! 😳 Fun week at CMM training and it’s refreshing to learn a new technology.

Pushed hard on this one to get those chips to fly out. Easy work but wondering why it’s diamond only at the bottom. 🤔

This was a fun job. Just ripping off brass and slinging those chips about as fast as I can.

Every IMTS - this robot gets bigger and bigger. I love it the same every time I see it.

I love this cutoff tool! It’s 4mm of thick power. Coolant thru and very rigid.
