>Aren’t these usually forged
it doesn't matter. it's still cheap given the fact that these are produced by the thousands.
if you factor in that you will charge 4x$2500 per customer, this means that with 5 customers you have made back what you paid for the dies
let's say you paid another $50k design house to design the pads for you, that's another 5 customers.
if you are in the business for this shit, you have already got your money back from your press, furnace, etc.
for perspective, you can buy crate engines with 1000x times more R&D costs put into them for the same price of 4 of those meme calipers.
and with engines, we talk about special alloys, nanometer precision, thousands of moving parts and a gorillion times in the bench to test the engines.
$2500 is retard money for a piece of aloominoom.
