A rather boring honk, but it should be loud and clear.

It should work with key on or off....

Only thing I'll say about the Brodix video is that the CNC technology in that video is outdated..... Thats a Fadal 5 axes VMC utilizing the Fadal propetiary PC based CNC.... they now offer some modern technology CNC controls, but that isn't one of them.


teach me something here. If the 5 axis machine can mill a piece of metal at a particular point in space and compensate for tool wear, how much more accurate is newer technology?

I had this discussion yesterday about video conferencing with someone regarding end of life in technology. A specific use piece of technology only needs to be so good to do it's specific task. In this example if you can do HD conferencing with good audio and frame rate, how much room is there for more improvement extending it's life cycle? Some times there really is no room to advance.

Being a novice at best on the nuances of CNCs, how many different ways and benefits are there to cut a piece of metal once set up to do so correctly in an automated fashion? How would newer technology render a better result?
