milling machines are amazing to use when they're functional. it's much more than a drill press. a guitar shop i worked in for a short time had one.
but they are huge, heavy, require maintenance.
like a boat, way better to have a friend with a milling machine.

@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange @autolycos@beige.party @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @iris@neuromatch.social @douglasvb@m.ai6yr.org Our local Maker Space had just aquired a milling machine and lathe, but before I could find a way to swing the membership they lost their space. Major bummer. I hope they're back on their feet at some point (hello @w6en, local ham and one of the drivers of the space)
