I don't know if you have the room in your shop, but have you considered a used Full sized Bridgeport milling machine ? They are dirt cheap at auctions now & very plentiful. The shop were I worked sold 1 for $500 recently in great shape with a power feed table too ! Most have 220 3 phase power, so you have to get a phase converter to run on single phase 220 volts.
