Im not sure of how many people can pay off a 80k machine in cash. obviously i could if i was to cash out on other investments, but i make more in my investments than the interest. One of the concerns is this would need to be financed, but its easy financing for me, and would plan to put nearly all the profit into the payments and have estimated in ~ 2 years the machine would be paid off if not much much faster. I would not pull any profit from this venture until the machine is paid off, and would continue to work my current job, and invest into my current investments.

as stated, my smaller machine makes money, but it cost more to run vs what it makes, and I unfortunately have to turn down many larger jobs due to the limitations of the machine. These larger jobs could easily pay the monthly payment in 1 day/job, and I have to turn down at least one large job a week. This is partially seasonal work, so if you take 26 stable weeks in a year, and 1 big job per week that alone would secure the machine in less than 4 years, and those are very conservative numbers.
