Metal casting is relatively safer and far more scalable than machining. Not to mention, who's going to be paying for all the worn lathes?

- convolvatron 3y agoeh. I just bought a new mill because of space, but otherwise all my machine tools are from the 60s. yes, the ways are a bit worn. yes the cross-slide and table have a divots. yes, I had to pay too much for a screw because my lathe was broken and I couldn't make a new screw for it. but they are much better made and with a little tlc are very serviceable machines. and they run less than $1/lb in the US because we shut most of that down.
