Ok here it is, been a welder for 40 ish years. Going to get a new Mill and Lathe, have 0 experience in this area ( my fabrication has always been done with torch and grinder ). My budget to get this rolling is around 10 grand. Thinking about PM 30MV Mill and PM 1236 Lathe. Is this a good starting point. Don’t have any real project size in mind, other than the things I’ve done in the past so they don’t seem to be that large. I know I will need a vise for Mill, so 5” or 6”. PM sells some or should I be looking elsewhere. Would see a rotary vise as being useful, 6” or 8”, and what brand should I be looking at?
PM 30 MV DRO $2900
PM 1236 PP,DRO $4500
This leaves a little for vise, rotary, and some tooling in my budget. Is this a good starting point. Any advise appreciated. Thanks
