The end result would look pretty damn good in an Art museum...excellent video, thanks for that.

Why no coolant?

#9 well if they'd used coolant we wouldn't be able to see the whole process clearly. Also it's an aluminium at relatively low speeds and low feeds you can do the operation without any cutting fluids.

#10 you sure it's AL ? and not cooled by Air ?

#10 it can´t be Aluminum because of the colored hot chips. Al wouldnt get blue.
Looks like a hot forged steel to me, something like a S355J2G3 or 16MnCr5...
Also it´s most likely they use cold compressed air with a hint of cutting oil for cooling and chip removal.

It looks like mild steel from the orange, rusty colour on the outside. Could be 1018. I worked as a saw operator and worked with similar steel which could be up to 12 inches in diameter and 20 feet long. 1018 steel is very soft and will dent easily. I always used cutting fluid when I worked but I was using saw blades and not a cnc machine. However when I did use the cnc machines for aluminum cutting fluid was used. But that doesn't mean every machine needs it.

The machine is actually playing that music. It comes as a standard option. For only an additional $40,000 it comes with a 'Sinatra' upgrade...

#9 No coolant because their using carbide insert cutting bits which pull a lot of the heat from cutting away in the chips making coolant not as important. However, It's also becasue they want to show the cutting process, under normal manufacturing conditions coolant would be used to increase the life of the cutting bits.

Anyone can see its a "Flux capacitor"

Usually if a cnc machine requires lubricant there are supply tubes directed at all points
where cutting is going on. I see no sign of them or ducted cold air (yea right) tubes
anywhere on the machine. Carbide cutters reduce the heat and friction usually associated with
machining metals so lubrication is not always needed.

Aluminimum doesn't rust like that so I am guessing steel.
