Two in the back and one in the front that is steerable via a t-bar. It is very slick how easy it is to move big things around when you have the right tools.

This new machine moves in such a high rapid rate that it must be lagged to the floor. I believe the acceleration is 1G. Threaded inserts are chemically anchored into the floor. Here you can see the foot that serves as a base for the anchor setup to clamp the machine to the ground.

And here it sits in its new home. Currently waiting for a technician to come and finish the installation.

I grabbed a shot of the tool carousel since the door was open and it was accessible. Unlike the last machine that had the large capacity storage and matrix setup this one is just a 64 tool onboard chain. It stages whatever tool is next and the arm swaps that tool with the one in the spindle in about 1.5 seconds.

Not sure how I missed this magnificent BLING MAKER 5 years ago, but WOW!
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

It's still here chugging away. I'll own it in like 2 or 2.5 years.

I will not miss that monthly payment  :D

I've only had a couple of opportunities to watch riggers work, but it's amazing what those guys do.

Imagine the things you could make, if you didn't need to make a profit!
