A pal of mine working with CNC lathes (actually more than one pal) and told me a story about an accident when a piece was clamped off center of mass and as the machine whirled up the piece twisted out from the grip and trashed the machine as it shot through it. Now imagine doing that in space and poking holes on that shiny space station. Beside I'm not sure how stable would that be, I guess on a large station it could be ok, but a cnc machine is fucking heavy and I think they are bolted down, so how to do that without shaking the space station apart?
