Just wanted to post a link to my youtube video of my Dynamechtronics DM 4500 doing some surfacing on a phenolic test part for what will eventually be an aluminum blade for an axial compressor wheel in a turbofan jet engine.

And here are some pics of the finished part.

Can't wait to make one out of aluminum. Actually, I should say make 18 out of aluminum. That'll be one wheel. Then I've got 5 more compressor wheels of different sizes.... lots of machining.
What do you guys think?
