<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 252651, member: 54"]Oh, and when I wrote that it would be the last tool, well, I was "forgetting" about the 53-foot semi-trailer headed this way with a bit over 13 tons of machine tools and related stuff, 20 pallets' worth. Not my personal horde exactly, it belongs to the business and will be used to process stuff for sale and sometimes for ordinary machine-shop jobs from outside customers. The truck will bring many capabilities we've needed for years, we just made-do with poor substitutes, didn't do certain things, or paid other shops to do it for us. We'll continue sending quantity-production jobs out to CNC machine shops, though, since that's the only type of shop that can do a few hundred of something in a few days and at an affordable price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
