[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 538523, member: 24284"] As long as the conversation started was about Min./Max, this may be a good place to point out that some of these tool makers and a couple of barrel makers I've had extensive conversations with still have [B][I]manuel[/I][/B] tool and cutter grinders [B][I]in use![/I][/B] One barrel maker I can think of still makes all the buttons used in his shop on maunel tool & cutter grinders.

These shops make some of the finest barrels/tools available. There is still "skill" out there. CNC is nice, but ya' don't have to have it if you have the skills available for those "one at a time" tasks, and there are companies doing it [B][I]every day[/I][/B] with the fine products they make.
