      complacent consumers.

      Oh wait you meant something else,

      Myself I am biased towards antique manual machines, if you are not in a hurry you can push them beyond what we might expect.

      (ob. discl., I work for a hobbyist CNC company, but we don&#x27;t offer a 4th axis or lathe)

      I purchased a Taig earlier this year. It is for small stuff and&#x2F;or softer materials.
