Ah, but with a CNC machine, you get to bonch parts of a higher

as soon as things start making grunching noises, whereas a CNC will
happily continue feeding at the programmed rate until something stalls
or breaks...



It also doesn't care how loud you scream, or how much you bleed.
Keep within range of the E-stop buttons.
