    my god, this is BEAUTIFUL!

    ...at least to an engineering nerd like me. 5-axis CNC machining of a v8 block!

    i cant even imagine the compression or boost those things could stand up to!

    Whoa, that's insane. 5-axes is not a run of the mill cnc machine capability. That block must be one tough cookie.

    ...adjust accordingly

      5 axis that's awesome. I only watched the first 4 minutes but that was really cool.

                Woah, the flip at 3:21 was crazy! I want one of those.

                EDIT: Forget the flip at 3:21, it gets amazing at minute 7 good find

                      Ahhhh the 5 axis CNC machine, I used to work with one of those things at my last job. Quite a handy machine if you know how to use it. But as with most high end machines, most operators dont know how to fully use it. It could do so much but yet people use them for x,y and z axis only.

                            Okay, so what are the 5 axes the name implies? (X, Y, Z, ...what others? Rotation in 2 dimensions?)

                              the 5-axis machines have linear movement on three axis (x,y,z) and then rotation about two of those axis...a mill would then rotate about the axis absent of any rotation
