Buy a used Bridgeport mill, our machine shop sells them off when they are 'worn' out for 'precision' work, but still perfectly good for home use.

I find lathe work less common, a small one would be nice but it is cheaper to find a local shop to do these jobs. Just the tools alone make it impractical.

You should be able to get a good sized used mill for $3-4k (with no digital readout.)

Got three phase power?
