By far the most used tools in the NASA mobile machine shop from Ames are the belt/disc sander, vertical bandsaw, and drill press. After that I would guess mill, lathe, and welder.

Even for quick fixes at events these machines are truly awful. They are hard to use and are really awkward and just bad. Plus you lose the benefit of being able to have one person on the mill and one on the lathe.
