IMO, Vanishingly few "Home Shops" have CNC equipment. We could
take a survey...

I think it would have been safe to say that ten years ago. Today... I'm
not so sure it wouldn't be better worded "A minority of 'Home Shops'...".

Advertising, cheap low-end stepper-driven machines from China, and ARM
processors have made the entire category of CNC more common and more
affordable.

Now... 'Home Shops' that have big CNC iron are fewer, to be sure! But
even that's becoming more common as conversions become simpler and less
expensive to do.

On the quiz, my result: "You answered 13 of 13 questions correctly."...

And we have, in our garage, a Wells-Index mill with a Hurco control.. We
refer to it as "MillZilla"...

But the quiz seemed dead easy...

People who get an education, stay off of drugs, apply themselves, and
save and wisely invest their earnings do a lot better than people who
drop out of school, become substance abusers, and buy fancy cars and
houses that they can't afford, only to lose them. We don't have an
income gap. We have a stupid gap.
