$5000 for machining equipment. How far will it get us?
Suppose we had $5000 to spend on machining equipment (just suppose). How far could it get us. Let's explore some different options: Combo Machine, Mill and Lathe, Small CNC, CNC retrofit, Etc.
If you had no machining equipment, but you had $5000 to purchase some, what (specifically) would you buy and why? Say you already had some access to any type of machine, but not at any time you wanted. Say you want machines to have at your normal work place that you will be able to access any time.
I've been looking at the Grizzly G3102 milling machine. Is it any good? What other machines are out there.
