Very fair point. I'm expanding my business into prototyping a product I'm developing. It did take some time(a couple months) to get the machine up and running. This fit my budget, and I was happy to put the time and effort in. I couldn't get what I have, for what I have in it another way. My business is in addition to my 40 hour a week job. I get about 45-55 hours a week in my shop. I've been doing this schedule for years. It works for me. In the next few years I will quit the day job and go full time in my shop. I enjoyed the process. And, I know the machine and it's control pretty well for having it such a short period of time. Offering up as another path for a guy that's bootstrapping.
