That´s what I said.
As per Your own quote below.

90%+ of people wanting to make money with cnc, starters, plasma laser or mill, have few resources and little skills and tools to start with.
About 1% of those go on to make a successful transition to a profitable endeavour.

Your case is different.
You have some relevant experience, and obviously have resources.
Neither of these was likely based on your first post.
I apologise if I was too blunt.
I meant to hurt no feelings.

You have already jumped into the 2% category.

Making profitable cnc stuff is very different from making cnc stuff.

I helped lots of newbies make their first biz, when selling industrial Haas cnc stuff to them.
And helped make them lots of money, mostly.

And also helped lots of hopefuls see why their ideas for a.b.c whizbangs were impossible or impractical.

And also no.quoted several projects due to multiple issues - we simply new that some of the customers ideas would not work out for them aka us, long-term, so we refused orders upto about 800k€.
