used to machine parts. what used to take many machines like lathes, mills, punching machines in a large machine shop (back before computers) over many steps with lots of labor involved can now be done with one or 2 CNCs. This is one of many things that has made manufacturing productivity rise is that a company can make shorter runs of different types of parts on CNCs rather than set up a whole production line with special tooling to make millions of same part over and over again which is not as flexible.
You can also do it with a 3D printer (though the strength isn't there, at the moment, there's room for improvement) and I bet you could have a pretty good go with hand tools.
I'll be that guy...
What's a CNC machine, and what did POTATUS say that would make me buy one?

he wants to ban making of ghost guns, something you can do with a CNC machine.
