Well I decided to do my body and paint work myself for my hotrod...so now I have an 8-10k budget for various tools I have always wanted. So..I will spend several thousand on the tools for the body work and paint but have a few thousand to play with after that. I was thinking about building a CNC machine and taking a couple courses at a local college here...or getting a Mill and a lathe (or maybe a combo)...but I don't think I can afford all 3 right now. The CNC's I am looking at are about 2000-2500 ish. I have been looking at mill/lathe combos for around 2k as well. Any thoughts?
