I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right forum.
I have a modest shop at home and I have talked myself into buying a lathe and maybe a mill. I'v been looking at some of the 3 in 1 machines and was hoping that someone could tell me if these units are worth purchasing. I have absolutely no expriance operating something like this but I am anxious to learn. Does anyone have any opinions about this particular equiptment or should I be looking at indipendant machines?

Robin, here is a link on the CNCzone that I think you will find very interesting.

Oh, Thank You! I'm exited about doing this and want to fabricate my own parts.
