wow thats big.

it must obviouly use some sort of platform system to fasten the stuff being milled right?

Otherwise the cooling water will flood the room also.

(does it use cooling water)?

I'm sure the weight of whatever they are milling is enough to hold it down, looks like that can take a rather large object.
