[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1159817, member: 35183"] If you are going to get new equipment, take a long hard look at HAAS equipment. It is made in CA. They have a "toolroom" lathe and mill which can be operated manually, but also programmed to operate automatically. It is really hard to do better price wise. Toolroom lathe [url=http://haascnc.com/mt_spec1.asp?id=TL-1&webID=TOOLROOM_LATHE#gsc.tab=0]Haas TL-1 | Haas Automation®, Inc. | CNC Machine Tools[/url] Toolroom mill [url=http://haascnc.com/mt_spec1.asp?id=TM-1&webID=TOOLROOM_MILL_VMC#gsc.tab=0]Haas TM-1 | Haas Automation®, Inc. | CNC Machine Tools[/url] $60k for 2 machines might seem like a lot, but there is little that one would not be able to do with that pair of machines. That includes make tooling for injection molded parts, if one was to ever get into "production". It would be easy to spend more than half that amount trying to buy Taiwanese made manual lathe and mill, which you then have to stand in front of any time you expect any output from the machine.
