About the tooling value: the tooling included here is worth an estimated $2,500–$3,500 on its own (used-market value). Rough breakdown: oversized drill bits 1"–2" ≈ $700; steady rest ≈ $450; custom steel tool cart ≈ $750; reamer set ≈ $400; spare 14" chuck ≈ $300; micrometer set ≈ $275; digital caliper ≈ $100; assorted cutting bits ≈ $100. Bought brand new today, this same tooling would cost roughly $5,000–$8,000 to replace (drill bits ≈ $2,300; custom steel cart ≈ $1,500; spare 14" chuck ≈ $700; steady rest ≈ $550; micrometer set ≈ $425; reamer set ≈ $350; digital caliper ≈ $175; cutting bits ≈ $150).
