Re: $5000 for machining equipment. How far will it get us?
Id say, order of preference:
Drill press
Band saw
Bridgeport
Lathe
If you have money to spend, and you have time, check for local auctions. Machine shops frequently close down, and you can buy good equipment for 1/10 the normal price.
at auctions I have seen:
Floor standing drill press: $150
Large band saws: $400
Bridgeport with all attachments (manually operated): $500
Metal Lathe: $500
