   We know that F1 teams over the years have gone through lots of fancy   
   processes and materials to cut the weight of parts and still be strong.   
   I've been looking on Youtube and found a process called "electric   
   discharge machining", which gives tolerances of the thickness of a thin   
   wire.   
      
   Would an F1 team use such machines to give effectively zero tolerance   
   cutting for mechanical parts? Looking at it it is amazingly accurate   
   cutting, far better than a CNC milling machine, but massively slower.
