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...

Mac,

sounds like a hoot! Thanks for letting me know that somebody actualized the idea. I'd love to know whether he derived the relationship between RPMs and music frequency by trial and error, or if he had a mathematical calculation that worked predictable enough to yield the results he got.


(Did you personally see this?)
