It usually builds throw away tooling. It’s not polished or user friendly. If you give it a directive to preserve and document tooling it will reuse it later and potentially improve it.

I was more surprised by the apparent lack of guards. Sol recognized that controlling a CNC mill has both human-safety issues and risks to the machine, and explicitly added various guards (like having the program stop movement after a certain amount of time, distance traveled, or lack of communication). It also initially started out with like 1mm moves and I had to instruct it to do longer moves so I could actually observe it. I didn't even have to mention safety once. Claude deciding to turn on the fuel pump without a test run where it just turns it on for one second is surprising. I'm also surprised the user went along with that, but content I guess?
