Machining Your Own Vs. COTS
We're getting a plethora of big new machines next year and have been having little mini debates about whether we should machine things like wheels, and other parts or just buy COTS versions. We're also debating about if should use our new CNC for the precision or use the good old measure twice cut once method on bigger parts, holes, and cuts.
Please post your all your opinions on how we should handle these machines, my current thoughts are that we are going to be using them way too much and use them for things much more suited for a normal saw or drill press. |
