Re: Mill or Lathe...

After thinking about this issue for a while, I realized that I almost never use our mill. For this reason alone, I'd say get a lathe. You can currently print out a hole pattern sheet and glue it on to your metal to make your chassis with a drill press or even a hand drill. With a lathe, you'd be able to make so much more.
