    If you just have a few motors, of course you don't have to buy machine. If you have a quantity, the profit brought by this machine is enough to return your cost. It depends on your situation.

    Lets see an apples to apples cost analysis,
    convince me I can make Money and I will buy the machine,
    I get enough motors to feed it at least 20 hrs per week...
    But I warn you I cannot get employees to work for $300/ month
    And I will not be starting from clean stators, but rather from A pile of electric motors.

    P.S. I've run cost analysis on just about every specialized processing machine, and with a good market and a nice volume, cheap foreign labor almost always tips the scale away from processing in the USA.
    But i will give this one a fair chance since it will not produce an environmental or permitting issue.

    Although I am good at calculating, I think it is easy to make this thing clear. Without the machine, you still need to pay for the basic cost like salary. When you have the machine, since the efficiency get improved, you can employ less staff and in a short period,you will get return over the cost for the machine will create profit in doubles of years.
