As you probably are aware from reading a lot of the posts, this machine was not designed for much beyond hobby use, BUT if you take good care of it and make sure you replace the QC with the Rock Chuck, then you can get some good work out of the machine.
I think it is safe to say that the majority of the people on this forum use their machines for profit, myself included. All you need is your own little niche; something that you can make a lot of and sell at a good price. And yes, having more than one machine is a good idea; when one is down, you have the other one.
