 The title say it all. I am genuinely wondering. What is the oddest machine you have either seen or powered yourself
with LinuxCNC? So far mine has been
a Pick and Place machine
a CNC 4 axis foam cutter soon to be 5 axis

Not that odd I know. But still. I know there's got to be some really interesting ones out there.
I figured this topic could help new people who will probably wonder just how capable LInuxCNC is.
So come on, what do you got?

What do you mean by "oldest machine"? Do you mean what machine have we had running Linuxcnc for the longest or the actual physical machines? I know there are people out there who have CNCed ancient manual mills and lathes with Linuxcnc, so nothing I have would be any contest for them. But I do have machines that have been running Linuxcnc for more than 10 years.

Oops, I misread the question it is Odd not Old.  (maybe it is time to have my eyeglass prescription redone.)
The oddest machine I have under Linuxcnc control is an 8 spindle gang router with 8 separate Z-axis and spindles mounted on a 12ft long gantry (11 joints of movement).

For a second there I thought I had misspelled the title or something. LOL
Sounds like a cool machine Todd.

Photos or it didn't happen :)

You guys describe these machines without showing us. That is torture.
Cheers,
Mark
