Is it really worth getting it going?

If you look at the cost of outsourcing getting parts stamped/lasered today,
it's very cost effective. Could such a beast make you money. If you imagine
what you might want to use it for, something like this may be far more
affordable, usable and worthwhile;

I had the bulk of a CNC lathe once that I kept for a year, with the idea of
getting it going. But unless you are rigged out with small cranes and other
machinery for doing the repairs, it's a pipedream.

Eventually I took it back to the yard, all at an expense. The guy lifted it
off the truck with a grab, promptly raised it 20' into the air and dropped
it on another machine they were trying to break up. All sad, but mostly
forgotten now..
