And how many are capable of doing the machining necessary to complete the project

Some places have you push the button to start the machine to finish the part.

My young one is pretty good. He can program the G-code to get what he wants out of the machine. Knows his tool paths, angles of entry and attacks, chip load, cutter compensation, spindle load and all that. If he’s had sufficient coffee. :)

That's not technically legal. A machine shop owner recently went to prison for doing that.

The story was posted here a couple of weeks ago.
