Re: Mill or Lathe...

That seems to be the opposite of what I've experienced. For several years we had 4 mills and 4 lathes, generally the mills were all full and the lathes were left open. Even this year we used a lathe for two parts. I've found that virtually all spacers/shafts/standoffs can be had as OTS parts or simply sliced-up round stock. McMaster FTW.
