I also have about a decade working in aerospace and defense manufacturing. 3 years running cnc and 7 years diagnosing and repairing machines. I have an interest in going off on my own doing fire arm parts and hopefully even recievers and cans in time. But yes used machines are high priced for now but i plan to restore an old dinosaur.
Tape computers, to NC, to current CNC systems, The rate of computer advancements is crazy in the metal chip sector, I keep wondering if 3D printing will end up replacing a certain sector of the metal chip industry.
The supply chain for new machines has really been disrupted over the last 2 years, thus driving up the price of the used equipment.
