work harder to make the programming easier/faster for one-offs.
He is using Hurcos, which is supposed to be one of the best (if not most

motivation is overall efficiency. Not every job is a winner in every
shop. Given the type of work he's doing, it pays off overall despite
obviously not paying off on every job.
