Okay;
I want to get into making model engines... but my garage is desperately short on tools. So... I'm getting my Christmas list together. Assuming my wife and parents will only have $500 or so to spend, what would you guys recommend? I'm thinking a good quality drill press, but would trying to find a low-end or used mill be a better bet? I want something that will also work well for woodworking. Any brand/model suggestions would be great also. Thanks!
