How many hows a week do you have to run a machine like that for it to earn its keep? It's got to be insane...
It's like watching a camp fire.............you just have to stare.
A CNC like ours needs to run at least 24 hours a week to break even. More expensive machines would need to operate at least 40 hours a week.

If I had to hand port these Edelbrock heads it would take me at least 3 days from start to finish to complete a pair. Then, I'd be worthless the rest of the week after all that grinding

That is just too cool. Brings back some memories. I programmed and operated a Haas VF3 in my previous life.

The heads are obviously casted for porting!
