297/yr isn't the cost of "the hobby". It's the cost of part of the hobby. Then you need machines, bits, and material to work with.

And it's unlikely that a CNC alone will be enough for anything, so there's a bunch of related tools and supplies needed.

It's like saying "a $300 set of clubs isn't too much to have golf as a hobby" but forgetting that you need to pay for all kinds of others stuff, too.

yes, i wasn't implying 297/year is the total cost of "the hobby". thats why i compare it to tennis membership, which is also only the cost of part of the hobby.
