				I'm with Sean, I would easily pay $30/day to just have access to a mill, lathe, and band saw if they had significant hours outside the regular 9 to 5 work day.  Since I currently work at a University I have access to a full machine shop, and believe me I take advantage of it.  But when that ends in less then a year, I'm going to look for my own mill, lathe, and band saw.  If something like this existed around here, I would easily pay and forget buying and maintaining my own equipment.
