Again, a matter of perspective. Is not the idea of CNC being able
to walk away from the machine (or at least loosely monitor it)?
I don't know about others, but there is always PLENTY to do in my
garage so that the difference between 200 IPM rapids and 60 IPM
rapids on my BOSS will doubtfully be a factor. And the job you
cite as an example is certainly not one you would be doing
on a regular basis. It is kool to see the machine move really
fast, but not necessary for an occasional part maker such as myself.
