You'd rather use the cnc mill for stuff like tubing and solid milled parts.

We do it so we don't use up all of our Sponsor's time. He already cuts a large amount of 1/4" plate for us with a waterjet and could take a few days from the time we get him the files to having metal at our shop. The Hurco was pretty good this year for us because we could have parts done the night they needed to be done.
