That's certainly a lot of machinists. I'm not production, about half my job is maintenance. Half my job is making parts. And half my job is screwing around.

In the shop I used to work at, everything but the routers were Haas, save for the one lone Hurco. I was the only one that could and would use it, and maintenance refused to touch it. I had to crawl in there with a hammer more times than I'd care to remember. So, I feel ya.
