Lance,
I've had a quick look around what's available down here in Oz as far as 'entry level' equipment is concerned, and came across these:
Mill
https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Pr...stockCode=M150
Mill 2
http://www.carbatec.com.au/metalwork...illing-machine
Lathe
https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Pr...stockCode=L194
Lathe 2
http://www.carbatec.com.au/metalwork...lworking-lathe
If you or anyone else could spare some time to look at the specs and perhaps give me an opinion if this is these are the sort of things that would do the job, or whether I need to 'up market' my search, I'd be appreciative.
