Once you get into full sized CNC machines its not so much a question of
what the "machine" can do, more a question of what the tooling can do.

Fadal Drilling speed
Hi Guys
I'm wondering how fast a Fadal 4020 can drill a series of 15/16 holes
thru 3/8 mild steel, rectangular patttern, 2 rows of 4, 4" centers?
I don't have any experience with these machines, but

Re: Open (i think) design for a parallel robot (reprap may be interested)
You are rounding which is fine if you are cutting out a square say but
what about a circle or a diagonal or a spline? You are effectively
adding the quantization error before you move the
