That's if you get used or cheap CNCs - the kind that are largely sold to Chinese factories or mom and pop shops for low value add manufacturing. A good (brand new) horizontal machining center with zero point fixtures, tooling, and training costs a minimum of 200-300k if you want to make high value add parts for aerospace/medical, not to mention the costs of metrology scanners and other quality assurance gear which easily adds another 100-200k.
At 360k, most machine shops can easily afford it if they can justify the purchase with demand. Also, almost no one buys these outright because they can easily finance it with a loan secured by the machine itself. We're talking a midlevel machinist's salary and overhead for five years. Since the majority of domestic metal manufacturing is for high margin industries with poor turn around times, these machines would pay for themselves very fast.
