 Voted one-thread does not feature any big asses, and the machine does not make big asses either!

Very cool machine OP. Italians make very good machines IME. I wonder how many manual humans machinists making valves it is equivalent to.

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.
It’s kind of the same in the woodworking world. There’s 2 companies that make really good bandsaws and they’re 20min away from each other. People think of Germany or Switzerland when they think of high-end niche manufacturing but northern Italy has a much bigger export/machinery manufacturing mittelstand than people realize. SCM is a big woodworking machinery manufacturer there too that’s also apparently one of Europe’s largest/best foundries and makes parts for trains and Lamborghinis and tractors and poo poo on the side??

These people make insanely huge bandsaws for cutting slabs of aluminum: https://instagram.com/bandsawfacts?utm_medium=copy_link

 Why doesn’t your $3.5mn machine work flawlessly aside from :italy:

(That’s a joke the Italians make wonderful machines, at least in the woodworking world)
