Anyone making that claim has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Take a look at what they are talking about, and tell me if you disagree?

We make parts of similar breed: I can tell you that the material alone is $200, the machining time is 8h (8h*60$/h) that is after machning process optimization. The after process treatment is another $100
bare bone without any overhead, without any non recoverable manufacturing engineering fee, $800 would be a super deal.

$200? !!! it is statements like that really sabotage Hill's credibility,
do we still leave in a trump era of complete absence of fact checking so we can indulge in the satisfaction to discredit the institution,
