Your shop is going to be tight on space since you want 2 mills (CNC and manual), so I would be considering a smaller lathe personally. They are large and very rigid lathes, however due to their physical size and weight, are not ideal in a workshop where space is an issue. I was initially looking at buying a Colchester Triumph 2000 which is very similar to the Master. ![]() Rob, I don't think you can go wrong with a Colchester. In case it matters, I'll be moving to the Netherlands, so please keep in mind that I need to buy machines that are available there or at least in Europe. Something with a 200x150x150 work envelope or larger Possibility to add (or comes with) taper attachementsĪny requirements I should change? or add and if so what is the lathe I would end up with? new or used? At least 1500 rpm (2000+ very desirable) Let's say I have a reasonable budget, around Euro 5,000 (US $7,000) and want to add a lathe and a small work envelope CNC mill, what should I get? My new shop is small (2.6m by 8.7m) or 9' by 29' but has good light, good access and lot's of power (2 x 220v single phase circuit and a 400v 3 phase) I'm taking all of my hand and portable tools and have already purchased a nice RF45 like mill with DRO (like this one: ). ![]() I'm about to move halfway across the world and have to leave my large and machinist tooling behind.
