Machine tools are only useful if you have experienced mentors to train students how to safely use them each year. The need for multiple machine tools also assumes your team has enough experienced students to accurately produce parts on them.

Given your current list of equipment, I would add a decent grinder first. (Baldor or similar).

I assume your Jet Mills takes an R8 collets.

I have ordered tooling from use.enco.com. They have a good range of products and manufactures.

If you have one full size lathe, I'm not sure the need for multiple bench lathes. I could see maybe one second smaller one setup with a four chuck for convenience. The small lathe would need separate AXA sized tooling then your existing lathe.

I've always used mechanical edge and center finders. They're simple and a lot less expensive than a digital unit (that can break).

A 2 inch dial indicator would be a good addition to your existing lathe. It makes locating shaft features fairly easy.

How are you machining parts now if you don't already have an assortment of dial indicators and digital calibers? Given the abuse these might take on an FRC team I wouldn't buy top of the line here. The Harbor Freight specials would have more than enough accuracy for most FRC uses, and the're cheap enough to keep a lot around.
