You are waaay ahead of me in the experience department. I have a $100 Ryobi bandsaw with an aluminum blade, but it is not heavy duty by anymeans. I use it to cut sheet aluminum for my RC stuff.

I am getting a mill in the next week or two, at least ordering it. It's coming from Harbor Freight. It's not the best, but it will do the trick.

My shop currently consists of my bandsaw, a drill press, a vice and my Dremel! It's actually amazing what I can come up with on only those machines. The mill and lath will be a very nice addition.

When I get them in, I'll see if you can come over for a lesson? I have never used either of these machines, unless you coount a rotor/drum automotive brake lathe.
