Whooping ass! Turbines and CNC, that is great. Are you making a turbofan?
Those are some long blades, similar to the ones on a turbofan. I really want
to get a mill so's I can have a go at making a small turbine too but some of
the parts look really 'fun' to make, like the new compressors. I don't know
how they came up with that shape but it looks tricky! You'd _need_ a fourth
axis to cut that for sure because there's no possible way the tool would get
in from the top (Tilted blades at top).

Once you've made your model of the turbine blank are you going to bend the
blades and then mill the profile onto them? Or mill it from a solid piece of
2cm thick 416? :-) Kidding is yoda, mmmm.
