Re: Mill or Lathe...

I would highly recommend against the 3 in 1 machines. You get one machine that does 3 things poorly, instead of 1 machine that does 1 thing pretty well.

I'd recommend a lathe. I think we use ours more than our manual mill and our experience in the past has been that it's very easy to find machine shops to donate time to manufacture milled parts.
