That one guy - loud spoken, self centered and bombastic in their stories and claims - thrusts them squarely in the limelight - because that's what they desire and want to be in the center.

Most people would just spend money, order a drill, wait 3-5 days, use it maybe once, instead of figuring out how to make due with what you have in the shop, and getting it done same day. That mind set is a good virtue to have. It will never let you down.👍👏🏻 Nice work on the trepanning too. That was a long and boring job. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍻🍻

Or it's a perfectly reasonable requirement. What we are seeing could be the fastest option, the cheapest option, the middle of the road option, or even the *only* option. You have absolutely no clue as to which category this falls into. However, there *is* a reason these machines & tooling exist & I can tell you right now it ain't b/c of demand created by green engineers having prints with obscene features & tolerancing slip by their senior engineers, managers, buyers, and QC dept completely unnoticed for Lord knows how long. So why make disparaging remarks based on what is essentially zero information?
