yay! hello everyone.
my name is lance, and i have been a tattooist in manhattan for many years. i have also struggled with making my own machines using drill presses, files, dremels, ... well, you get the picture. i don't know much about machining, but i used to have a sherline many years ago, and i sold like a big fat dummy.
now i find myself needing it again. but better yet... please let me askk you guys a few questions so i don't go around buying the wrong tools, and creating problems for myself. bottom line is this. i want to be able to machine parts similar to the parts in this picture below, and i want to know whether to buy a lathe, mill, or combo, and would like to know what you may suggest as far as versatility and bang for the buck on a miniscule budget. i was hoping to keep the price below $600.
Thank you very much for any help or opinions you are able to give. -Lance
