Last post by Zoffen - June 03, 2026, 01:38 PMI want to see a larger RAH with one of those tiny RAH Thru Coolant turbine tools in that and then do 5 axis surfacing on the internal front(?) face of the part.

Last post by TSmcam - June 03, 2026, 12:06 PMThat is a funky turning tool 
I had a video somewhere (can't find it at the moment), showing a 90 degree head mounted to a B axis on a WFL Mill-Turn, doing 5 axis surface milling within an internal recess on a cylinder bore. A TopSolid/WFL applcations engineer did it at the factory. Similar scenario to above. It was a few years ago, and it really impressed me.

Last post by Newbeeee™ - June 03, 2026, 05:37 AMIf you pause the vid at the 4 seconds mark - Back in my DO days, my mentor told me about a job he worked on for Rolls which was similar.
It was for sparking/edm a hole in a blade, and the "banana" electrode had to approach same way to "get up in there".
Long time ago now.... but I'm sure it was all run off hydraulic slides linked to a large custom rotary table, where the fixture/blade was mounted. Rotate the table and everything moved together to position the electrode.
