Consider this anecdote: I recently put together a DIY 3d printer. I didn't have the right tools to cut steel bar, so I made a clever jig and used a shitty Dremel without enough clearance. Clever? Yes -- it got the job done with limited resources. Smart? No -- dumb, actually. Smart would have been driving 15 minutes to Harbor Freight to buy a $20 cut-off saw.
