Re: $5000 for machining equipment. How far will it get us?
To keep Ken's format, I'd say...
Drill Press
Sawz All / Band saw
Lathe
Mill
We get by without a mill, but a lathe would be helpful sometimes. Maybe if we had access to a mill, I'd change my mind. But we don't, and we DO have access to the 12 X 7 Grizzy lathe if we really need it. (It's in my house, about 30 minutes from our build area.)
Remember, you have $2500 to spend on machine tools, because the other $2500 goes to tooling for the machine. (I've spent more on tooling for my Grizzly 12X7 lathe than I did for the lathe.)
