Re: Lathes and Mills

For how we build, I would say lathe first.

We actively seek out machine shop sponsors, especially 2d (laser, waterjet, etc...).

Effective use of COTS parts + 2d parts + lathe is great.

We love our mill, and use it a lot, but we could survive without it easier than without our lathes.

The most important thing is that you tailor your design style to exactly match the resources you have available.
