Re: master machinists, used to be when Henry Ford ran Ford in the early days they had a simple test to get hired on as a machinist. With hand files, file a round hole to a 1" square and file a round bar to a 1" square to fit in the hole, all four directions, with 0.004" clearance.
IMO talking about whether a machine tool has certain features or not making the machinist a master is a distraction. If you are able to make a part to specifications with the tools you have (hand or machine), you're off to a good start.
