and i thought Zac inc and the watervilet arsenal had big machines god damnn.

i know siemens makes some big shit too. they make machines that make crank shafts and cams for a bunch of applications. from a train to a vw.

i would be happy with a 5 axis machine i could fit a head from a engine. if itll fit a big block that would be tits. the centroid a560 is on my pipe dream list
