As a manufacturer of oil field pumps and valves Kimray has some pretty cool computer controlled 3 axis mills. They drill a hole so fast it just looks like it is punching them. The coolant at the end of the drill is at over 1000 psi. The drill moves between holes so fast if the machines weren't bolted to piers they would move 2 ft and they weight tons. The first one they put in did a valve body with lotsa holes took machining time from 22 hours to just 15 minutes.
