Not hardly, a Grizzly G0704 milling machine I've converted to be run by 
linuxcnc.  All the driving screws have been replaced by much more 
efficient and accurate ball screws, with big stepper motors to turn 
them. Solid carbide cutting tools, driven by g-code I write.

I don't know if the server passes images, but I'm making 3 more copies of 
the blanket chest picture attached, one for each of my surviving 
children, now down to 4 boys. Solid Mahogany with Gabon Ebony trim bits, 
and an aromatic eastern red cedar lining.  Those "Green & Green" joints 
were all carved by an even smaller machine I built several years ago, 
but that used every millimeter of travel the smaller machine had.  This 
machine is 3x heavier, with about a 3x larger working envelope. I've 
been since the last of May this year getting it and the driver 
electronics built.
