So first you might not want to jump straight to a CNC considering that the are Expensive to get a full sized one, i would start out with manual BridgePort Mill and a SouthBend Lathe of some kind, Your students will learn a lot more from these machines then CNC, they will also get the skills necessary to accomplish many different tasks as well as knowledge on how to problem solve, with manual machines one has to think the whole process first before the actually start and that is what helps them in the long run, after those two i would suggest a 3D Printer, Disk sander (bench top), Metal bandsaw, Metal chop saw,
Calipers, Beverly shear and Beverly holepunch
