We work with alot of exotics, like inconel 718 and 625, hastalloy, waspalloy, all the way down to g7 phenolic. Alot of prototype oil field and electronics industry parts. Btw, for future knowledge...for any high nickel content based alloys, on the lathe side, iscar cnmg 532 m3m inserts in the ic806 grade are the best around. 0.150" depth of cut, sfm around 125, and feed of 0.011. The chips just fly!

Whoah, that sounds awesome! We mainly work with CRS, A2, D2, Aluminum, and some Pre-Hardened steel once in a while. The shop I work at is kind've behind, we only recently got inserted carbide tooling. We had a few before, but most of our stuff was HSS or solid carbide. Our newest CNC is a 2000 Mori Seiki. They only replaced our 15+ year old Bridgeport after it started smoking.
