No kidding. You'd be surprised how much money you can make in the right machine shop. If you have the right skill. 200k include machine,tooling,fixture,set up,labor and measuring equipments. Usually the fixtures are pricey to make. We have our own toolroom where we make our fixtures,dies,etc. So still leave a chunk of money for us. The thing is they want 800000-1mil pcs in 3 years of term. Who the hell going to buy that many trannies? So once they happy with the protos we start machining them.
