I don't know how well that pattern holds through non-machine-tool
products, like welders and compressors, etc. But I tracked the figures on
machine tools for decades, and the pattern is always the same. The bottom
end always is the most vulnerable and the first to fall.

Specializing in one area might be proffitable depending on what the
compition looks like.

Your gonna have to have a alternative in place should your specialty become
obsolete.

The problem as i see it is, does igy have the contacts to get in the door
and sell his expertise?

What igy is considering is a very complex with a lot of variables.
