im starting this with my intentions to build a cnc mill and lathe for steel and cast iron machining.
B4 i start i need a bit of guideance.
I plan on getting married before the baby comes along this year so the materials used for the machine will be scrounged and what i can find as cheap as possible (because the wife and baby will be a real pocket burner).
I believe this is still a very feasible project as i am a cnc machinist by trade and most parts will be cnc machined for both projects.

can anyone give me some pointers on mill/lathe bed materials, servos, etc to get the ol' cogs grinding between the ears?
