This would be better on a 5 axis mill, but with some redneckstyle angular mounting of the rotary it could be done with 4 axis only...

Turning is Intercon only, for engraving of the magic letters fusion 360.

Next project is a large scale ring made from an old ball bearing.

I really like the graph with rotary display.

A friend is building a dual purpose long shaper/gantry mill with 1500mm stroke :lol:

I am helping only with small CNC parts.
