Re: To CNC? Or not to CNC?

For the money, it would be better to invest in a used vetical mill, and a metal lathe. As the student Lead Machinist, 99% of my time spent machining parts was spent on these two machines. The use of a cnc mill wasn't really required, although it did speed up the time it would have taken to manually mill out a anti-back drive gear for the winch. Check out ebay. You'd be surprised what you can find on there.
