C-noteSome cultures perpetuate a high level of tolerance.
makachwhat sorcery is this?
worthwordsIt's a type of electro discharge machining. It has been around for a while but it's so damn satisfying!

mxxconya...Chinese culture isn't one of those...

Spacedog79says...Actually looking at the official youtube videos it seems to be high precision CNC wizardry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYSHJIx0Esc

bremnetsays...No, it's not EDM. It's machined. We produce a variety of cylinder / piston pairs, some with keyed anti rotation or beveled flanges to prevent pull through. The achievement of a visually seamless interface between two parts is certainly not trivial, but with care and the proper sequence of machining steps (guess which face you mill last? right - the one the user sees as seamless) you can do this on good quality CNC's with the right cutters. EDM'ing the complex curved shapes that truly mate across the surface on the early parts shown in the video is very (prohibitively) difficult, as you have to rely on ram EDM which is plain nasty.
