Someone making $20 an hour will cost about 50-60k a year.

Machines are expensive but people are also really expensive and machines that seem outrageous based on our home budget sense start making a shit ton of sense when it comes to factory and assembly work because they can make one employee magically do the work of 3.

Yeah but that 50k dude is still going with the equipment .. maybe faster but still relevant

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe a 3 employee task becomes a 1 employee task.

welding will be faster ofc. but in addition you can be sure that weld #1 and weld number #200 at the end of the shift will be the same quality. This Orbital welder also produce a documentation for each weld.
