there already is, tech shop or no. machining and fabrication shops are falling like flies. expect to pay about 5x scrap value (used to be 2x, but scrap just fell a lot) for used machine tools from the 60s. new chinese knockoffs can be ok if you are discerning and don't have to pay shipping. an acceptable 9" swing lathe for $1k. bridgeport variable speed 36" mill for $2k. chinese tig for $1.2k. nice 20" throat doall style bandsaw for $1.5k. sweet new horizontal bandsaws are only $1k. 1/4" plasma cutter is $600 though I suspect if you want to open to the public insurance is going to be astronomical |
