Yep. I was watching a big machine, a 5 axis, doing a 427 ford block from a nearly 400 lb block of alu forging, and was amazed to see it doing the sailors hornpipe jig as it bored the liner holes. We all know that LinuxCNC can do that in one spiral motion, probably 2x faster than that HAAS control was doing it. Blew me away.
