It's a much more useful machine, and will have a greater positive impact in your team than a mill would. Pretty much anything "simple" that you'd need a mill for can now be bought from AndyMark, and those are gearboxes. But what you can't buy from AndyMark are all those shafts and spacers you need to transmit all that motion to where you need it, as those are all largely dependent on how you design and build your various mechanisms.

Spending an hour to make a single shaft is MUCH worse than spending ten minutes drilling some holes on a drill press.
