Well yes, if they used a completely different machine...if they had a $250k machine instead of the hobbyist one. On the same basis what if they had a custom gear saw, with a specially shaped cutter that could slice a single tooth on a stack of 50 cogs in one pass .... But I thought the point was to compare two lower end machines and their capabilities? And if so the cnc was not the outright winner, no matter how cool it looks to tech geeks

Just have a look at Wintergatan (from the Marble Machine) build channel https://youtu.be/7hYX67CZd28?t=239 https://youtu.be/7hYX67CZd28?t=239 If I remember correctly this CNC is around 5k, at least nowhere near 250k, and there are comparable ones for the more price conscious hobbyists. It slices up a big plywood sheet into hundreds of components with good precision. Hobbyist CNC machines are a real deal and not just cool for the looks.
