With a CNC, you have the ability to make "cookie cutter" parts. Doing some of the more detailed work (flanges, etc.) freehand is hard and typically doesn't produce a good fitting product.
Again, using a table to cut squares, making smallish tanks and sumps is an easy "basement project" and is a lot of fun.
