Team 752 has a limited budget as well, but we bought a grizzly lathe, bandsaw and milling machine. We got the smaller, cheap versions of all these since not only is our budget limited, but so is our space. I would not want to use these tools every day to make a living, but for our use, they are fine. Last year we didnt have them, and life was very difficult. You might want to consider something to weld with and a press.
