Re: Lathes and Mills

I would check out some industrial auctions, Kijiji, Craigslist or eBay for used machines first. You'll get much better prices and many machines will come with tooling. Watch your voltages as many industrial machines run on 600V which many schools don't have. Also watch your guarding requirements as many industrial sell-offs don't have current or any safety guarding.
