I get it. Just watching the riggers do their thing is pretty amazing in itself.

Side story on these Italian machines. This type and size of machine has two main competitors that make basically the same machine with different names and they are all located in some "little valley" over there. Apparently the owners are all related to each other. We had quotes from all three. It kind of makes you think....

We have versions from all three in our shop.

Theres some Tiawanese machine makers for EDMs that are like this. one started based on old Fanuc engineers that went there to make their own company. Then some of those engineers went down the road to make their own. Literally the two machines are almost identical but with different control systems. Work great and are dependable, along with cheaper then most other machine makers. Parts are cheap to which is a major plus. One of the big claims to fame was that they were some of the first to make bigger machines with 20 inch plus z axis, something unheard of for the traditional manufactures for a long time.
