Manual Machining vs CNC Machining

Top comments include:

• “Nice sculpture, but I'm over here machining parts that actually make the world spin and keep my wallet happy. Art's cool, function's king”

• “Unless you’re using a chisel and hammer to make every part you’re not a machinist”

• “I DON'T NEED ONE OF THOSE”

• “Hold my beer ha ha ga”

• “*scrolling for the comment from a boomer who thinks he can”

• “Love the meme lol it’s not even close the amount of things that can be created on a CNC compared to manual. I machine parts for military aircraft that could never be done on a manual.”

• “It’s basically just 8 repeating patterns, maybe come up with something harder, LoL!”

• “Sorry, too busy making parts for nuclear submarines to make high school basketball trophies.”

  And you didn't make it either. Master Cam likely wrote the code and the controller made the part.”
