Recommended Tools and Machinery for Your Team's Machine Shop

[abhem]

If your team is fairly large and there are many members that are trained in the shop, then I would personally stay away from combo machines. They can sometimes be more expensive than individual machines and they do not allow for multiple pieces to be machined at once. With a combo machine you can work on one piece at one time which may not be efficient if there are many people who wish to use the machine. If you have individual mills/lathes etc., then more people can get experience and it may be more efficient when making parts.
