True, but I can still do 5 valve jobs at an average profit of $100.00 each in the time it would take me to set up and line-bore one stovebolt engine. That's just considering labor time, not amortizing the cost of the equipment. Why do you think most machine shops go out of business? Hint- - - - -it's not lack of skill on the machinist's part!

OOPS! I made a mistake- - - -here's a well-used line bore machine, on sale for only $19,500!
