This is so wrong it's absurd. I work on machinery. Heavy equipment, I've dicked around with industrial robots and hell I even have and use a 3 axis cnc mill from 1986.
Most of the stuff that's out there is reliable as time with very little maintenance required. Oil or grease movable joints. Top up oils, change oils every 1000hrs. It's not hard or expensive to keep up on maintenance. Pay a premium and replace gear oil with PAG type oil, and you will never have to change that oil in your life.
Machines just work, they don't have feelings, they don't take sick days, they don't take lunches. And why they fuck are you buying equipment with out way to pay it off first. Build it, and they will come. It doesn't work all too well when everyone and their grandma has a cnc shop these days.
I am a real machinist. Not gonna debate with a hobbyist.
Hobbyist? Make me laugh.
Look in a mirror and you'll see a clown.
No, you're not. You're just wrong on the internet.

Don't waste your time with ignorant little shits like that.
Time enjoyed is time not wasted.
Not clicking that link with no explanation for it being there. Your low effort reply isn't going to change my opinion. Take your contrarian attitude somewhere else.
Ofc you won't, you're a real machinist. Duh.
Also, good call, never know what Wikipedia links lead to. Might mean you'd learn something, shudder.
AI generated PFP stirring up shit on the internet. Banned from reddit already? What else is new? Go burn another ten gallons of water.
Oh noo, he insulted my profile picture and said to go be elsewhere. :(
Such brilliance of rhetoric, the mind is positively dazzled in your presence!
You could smash your fists onto your keyboard and reply with human words instead of having a clanker do the work for you. It's obvious with your lazy replies. you should take a look at what you've invested your attention to and reconsider what you're doing with your time. The weather outside has been good. The grass is starting to be green again.
I have a bad case of diarrhea so I've got all day to shitpost. I sit on my throne and your clanker replies provide some entertainment while I wipe my ass and send you the words that show up on the toilet paper.
Gee, thanks buddy. I remember like 20 years ago when people used to be super snide much in a similar way as you are now. Only it was "it's obvious you have wall hacks" because I listened a little bit better than they did. It feels just, so good.
Who the fuck would use an AI to write forum replies? You, probably. Or someone you know. See you accuse me of being friendly with machines when you call yourself "a real machinist."
Your dumbfounded "I'll not open your Wikipedia links without explanation"-ignorance is the reason I come to forums like these. I enjoy watching you get upset and project a ton. :)
Hey I'm not reading all that my diarrhea cleared up and I've got better more solid shit to do now. Nor am I interested in continuing this asinine back and forth. I am glad to have wasted your chatbot tokens or 3rd world child fingers or whatever the fuck it is they run off of today. Better luck next time.
"I'm not reading your comments. Or the Wikipedia links. Because reading is dumb! >:("
I don't understand how people like you don't realise how it seems to admit to willfully being ignorant online.
Just because you can't read more than a single sentence without looking at your phone doesn't mean we all do. Some of us enjoy reading and writing. And that "some of us" does not contain you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
