Milling Machine Simulator

Hey everyone,

I've stumbled upon a game that's as niche as it gets – "Milling Machine Simulator." Yep, you can now virtually mill stuff! I know, right? It's surprisingly functional, though, and the graphics are... well, they're something! I have attached more screenshots than anyone has asked for so you can see what I mean.

Now, here's the burning question: who's playing this game? Any budding machinists out there or workshop aficionados secretly honing their skills? I'm genuinely curious if anyone has found a practical use for a game about manual milling machines. Share your thoughts and use cases; let's unravel this delightful mystery!

The fact that it's possible and even that it exists isn't nearly as amazing to me as the fact that someone actually took the time to create such a simulator that could only appeal to an extremely small market.
 
I have had my eye on this sim for a while. Now that Steam is having their autumn sale it might be worth checking it out.
 
Might be as close to a mill as I get for sometime. And a lot cheaper than an actual mill. Showing as $15.95 for me.
