I've often thought it would make an interesting experiment to program a song by changing the speeds and feeds of a long milling job. I wonder what the machine operator would think if the turbine blade he was machining started playing FUNKY TOWN...




One of the Carnegie Mellon engineering students once did exactly that - and used the machine in a performance.

Started out a big chunk of 6061-T6 AL, ended with nuthin' but chips.

His chosen piece was the Mozart variations on the Twinkle Twinkle theme, though.

Was a riot of a performance.

Possibly because he used the cutting fluid squirters as parts of the note groups...
