Falcon, everyone may have a favorite, but my guess is there is no best. For around that amount you should be able to get a respectable mill/drill, look into used units on ebay, I just saw a bridgeport CNC 1980's model but never used go for $1150, nice size unit but with short X,Y travel, at $1150 it was a steal. You might look into models from Grizzly, MSC, ENCO.
