Back in '08, my shop had to pick between a new 5-axis mill or two more 3-axis ones.

We went with the two 3-axis machines, which let us run more jobs at once but meant turning down some complex aerospace work. Looking back, it kept us busy but I always wonder if we missed a big chance. Anyone else face a choice like that and wish they'd gone the other way?

Ever feel like you chose the safe road over the rocket ship?

My cousin took the rocket ship and now he's broke at 40.
