The Modern Marvels program on Cable TV featured machine tools. In the program they show a rotor for the shuttles
turbo pump being machined. IIRC they mention it takes 5 days of machining per blade! Later in the program they show a machine that lays down carbon fiber, smears the goo and cures it all under computer control. A large fuselage is shown being laid up. Overall an interesting hour of TV.
