The lathe is a 12" x 24" 2HP Excel . Seems good enough and came with lots of bits. Cost around £3k new, IIRC. The mill is a Bridgeport we bought S/H, also for about £3k. It's got a rotary table with 3-jaw chuck, which will make drilling the spoke and disc mount holes much easier. The Bridgeport is lovely and if I could afford one and had the space I'd get one for home.
