Na, at the moment I have to make parts to earn some money...
28 Cylinders for two 14 cylinder radial model engines.

Sounds like someone is making a really cool model DC-3.

Maybe, but the Germans had the BMW801 14 Cylinder radial at this time.
I will ask the customer what he is building. By the way the customer is a hard core manual machining guy, nothing is better than old Schaublin ect...
... till he figured out 28 high precision parts are a PITA with manual machining

Now some senseless air moves, senseless cutting will be next
But I am quite happy how it is working right now.

So far so good
Still need to make the adaptor plate for BC orientation.
I will be really pleased if this is milling some useful parts after the TCP update from centroid

The video on YouTube is really cool of the 5 axis in motion. I am anxiously awaiting a video of it actually making parts. Watching a 5 axis machine doing it's thing is mesmerizing. I've watched some of the videos of Centroid's 5 axis automotive machines. Very cool stuff. In my head I think doing the CAM must be very difficult. What will you use for the CAM Uwe?

You have had enough time to figure out a part to make with 5 axis! Get to it. We want a video.
