    Manufacturer vs Job Shop

    I have OFTEN said that I am NOT a machinist, though I can machine, and did before I retired. However: "How many of you would consider your selves "job shops", and how many are manufacturers that have a machining department? If you have any comments about your perspective of the differences...
