I am taking machinists classes now at my local CC to answer this question myself. In my mind I think it will be better to get a good used lathe and mill. I will take more training, but making one offs or small runs of parts will be more cost effective. If I can make some descent moneys, I will invest is a HAAS(https://www.haascnc.com/machines/multi-axis/5-axis-mills.html)
