This is a really good point. A CNC router is just a really expensive paperweight if nobody knows how to use it properly.
Ditto on the belt/disk sander recommendation. We got one this year and it has made a surprisingly large impact on our manufacturing process. Also, having a relatively cheap/small sheet metal brake (Like
this one) has really changed the way we design. Our chassis this year wouldn't have been possible without it.
