So a little background on me:
This is really for fun and giggles and not production work. I have a 1500ft2 shop on my property and I love metal working as a hobby. I have 2 VMCs (a late 90s fadal and late 2000s haas) and love them because they both paid for themselves within 2 years.
So my question is.... will a edm machine pay for its self with side jobshop work (I plan on getng a good deal on a used late 2015 makino). And really besides crazy hard materials and 2d parts, where does a edm really have an advantage over one of my vmcs?
And one last bit of info... I mostly just
Wanna mess around and make fun cubes with fun close tolerance cut outs that when you slide them back together, the seem is invisible... and yes I might spend $$$ to make some paperweights as long as it will eventually pay for itself
