There's a lot of feel involved with tools. A bandsaw or a drill or a bridgeport gives you a ton of feedback. Something as simple as torquing a fastener will tell you tons about the alignment of the fastener, the surface roughness, thread quality and tolerances, whether there's swarf at the bottom of the hole, whether you're about to tear threads out...

For macro workflows it could be useful, but on the same level as a non-VR Machine Shop Simulator. 2¢
