Speaking of which, does anybody know where the FIRST of the milling machines/ equipment came from, I mean, it all had to start somehow.

-Can it be?
(take that one as deep as you want to, I'm game ) JH
The first machine tools were adapted from woodworking tools and made by the people who used them. Over time they became what we know now and shifted from being made for a specific purpose to general purpose machines such as the mill.
