Harbor freight mill and lathe question

You were a Millwright OP..... This is a Tinker toy for you. Unfortunately used mills have escalated in price however look in Auctions where a Manufacturing plant has closed. You can create a 3rd leg for 3 phase or go VFD.

I only know one person who has spent the money on a small Lathe for doing work on very small projects and he didn't keep it long....
