Re: Where did your team get its machine tools?
Multiple options would be appreciated.

For 237, most of our tools that we started with back in the day were either already at the school (miller, lathe) and also at a sponsor's off site build place.

But, combined through out the 7 years the team has existed we have constanly brought new machines in through grants and other means to the school..

I believe we have about 3 millers, and 4 lathes in perfectly working order now.

And, last year we acquired some CNC controls for those lathes/millers as well..

I think. I'm not in the metals shop as often as I would like to be so I am only going by memory.

So yeah.. wow.. all of the above.
