Anyone with experiences and suggestions? I specifically have small
engine parts, small rocketry parts and possibly parts for small
helicopters in mind...

I think that your situation is the exact reason why folks become
interested in hobby metalworking - their jobs are simply too
small, or too intricate, to be jobbed out to a local shop at
any decent cost.

So it becomes cheaper for the hobbyist to purchase the machines
to to do the job himself, and learn how it is done, on the fly.
(no pun intended...)

The other approach is to learn the skills at a local voc tech
school, in a formal fashion. This is nice because there is
often time devoted to individual projects after the material
is covered.
