This isn't really about making things, it's more like using a $100K of machinery to produce some performance art. Very entertaining for a gearhead like me. He does make an aluminum claw, but once you have the machine programmed, you could reproduce the claw in any other material just by adjusting the feed rates. Well, that would work for bronze and steel. You might need super-special bits for cutting titanium, I don't know.

  1. Ti cuts at 10% of Al feeds, same speeds.

    This was a total waste of time. Go hit some of the real metalworking channels (NYCCNC, Rucker, Renzetti, Lipton, Fenner, Joe Py, et al). You'll see more, learn a lot.
