    High Tech Duck Fishing
    This has to be the most gratuitous (ab)use of technology.
    Do you have any idea how much this LinX milling machine costs?

    More than a D3?
    Did you win a cap?

    Yes more than a D3, more than a thousand D3s I think.
    No, I won nothing.

    This is a 5-axis milling machine with a 3metre bed, used by an F1 team.
    The concrete foundation it sits on to dampen vibration is huge.
    Linear motors in the X axis if my memory is right, maybe linear motor gantry too.
    High tech, very accurate, I think over $1000000 today for the machine let alone the building it's in and the installation.
