Building A Forged Rb25

They can CNC an entire engine block out of billet these days with those new 10 axis CNC machines so I am sure that is possible, not that you would do it because its so expensive but it can be done.

You can do it on a 3 axis CNC mill, it just means alot of setups and jigs to do it accurately.

I havent heard of anyone using a 10 axis cnc mill. I was aware only of 5 axis machines which is what most use to manufacture billet blocks and heads and compressor wheels and so on.

When I was at tafe we watched a video of a 5 axis machine making some kind of billet turbine wheel. It was huge. The motions it was moving in while the cutter was chipping away at the blades as the bed was rocking around was just amazing. Highly recommend looking at some of those cool CNC videos on youtube if nobody has seem them before!

I doubt many people do use them but here is a 12 axis one
