Drill/Mill or Lathe/Mill attachment for small shop area

[Chexposito]

they make drill inserts for mills, try to find an engineering company they will eventually get rid of one. We've got 2 (one's on the way) because the companies will buy newer and nicer ones and have no need for the good ones they replaced. Laths aren't absolutely necessary, but if you need one, they make pretty good small ones. and you might be able to do the same thing with older lathes.

Which you get depends on your uses of it. We have a 35 year vetran of using the mill to help us. He has also gotten access to the big engineering firm that donated our space to us. We have only used a good sized lathe once, the rest we could handle on a mini lathe.
