Re: Mill or Lathe...

If you dont have access to a waterjet i think that a mill is the way to go. a lot of the things that you do with the lathe can be done without one but with many designs having the precision of a mill is absolutely necessary.

Not having access to a mill can really limit your flexibility in design choice.

As 330 has shown you don't really need a lathe you just need a mentor with the patience to do it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwDFD-TjDFU
