Is it that hard? Or are they just doing it really fast? Perhaps a bit of both.

It could be just regular steel running at really high speed with a ceramic cutter. I made chips almost red with my 11" Logan with a carbide insert on regular mild steel. Just to see how hard I could push it. Only tried it once, no need to break things.
