Watch This Magical Machine Drill Square Holes

I watch this video and I can’t believe this kind of sorcery is happening: a drilling machine in action, creating square holes. Instead of using a regular circular motion, this thing just quickly moves at different angles.

I can understand the theory. I just can’t believe how it happens and the perfection of the final square holes.

    They’re not perfect squares, the corners are generally slightly rounded. Still clever though.

    I’m shit at lining up a round hole – Imagine how hard it would be with the whole bit moving around too :\

    We are lucky some people refuse to be bound by convention to come up with this stuff.

    I found the slo-mo to be pretty awesome.

    There is no such thing as a ‘perfect square.’ If the interior angles are not 90 degrees each, it’s not a square
