Re: reality milling

Thanks for all the input!! I have built my own tesla turbine but I
had the feeling that impellers would be hard to cut, but after seeing
the Compucut system from mart_wid, it looks like they accomplished the
task (very well). Anyways, can anyone explain to me what that system
is, is it a software, a mill, or a controller? How can they cut
(flawlessly) such a nice impeller?
thanks, tei
