The wazer is supposed to be super slow. So your cost per minute is way high

1/2” per minute for many materials.

Finally! A useful application of the FFF system of measurements velocity unit: furlong per fortnight!

1.27 furlongs/fortnight if anyone else is curious.

That’d be about 1.2727 f/f

Curiously, the ratio of furlongs/fortnight to inches/min (2.545454…) is very close to the ratio of cm to inches (2.54)

We have one at work. It works but it’s quite slow. For anything thicker than 1/8" you have to be willing to wait quite a long time, especially in ferrous materials.
