Re: New season, New tools
I would prioritize the purchases like this
mill>lathe>welder>3d Printer
Of course you should make sure before purchasing you have people who know how to use them. The welder we have would be next to useless to us if not for a few parents who know how to weld.
I put the mill first because once fabrication starts in our build season you would be hard pressed to find it idle between us and the team we share a shop with. The extra precision it gives us is invaluable in my opinion.
