I think a quality machine from Taiwan will be more than accurate enough for myself. Though I am going to lurk around the forum for a bit longer before I make a hard decision on exactly which one.
The workshop needs a rejig before any new machines come in and I need to look at my budget for the total makeover and then see how much I have left over for a lathe upgrade.
The lathe actually gets more work than the mill, though that does change a bit depending on what project is in the pipeline. I don't make things for the sake of it - rather when a job needs doing I don't shy away from using the lathe to improve the quality of the solution.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed.
