Default Which machine?

Say guys, I'm tired of hand tools and want to get a real machine tool
besides my drill press. Strictly hobby and shop. Which would you buy first,
a lath or a mill?

Thanks for any input.



You can turn things in a mill, and mill things in a lathe.

I personally went with the mill first. Then I got a lathe. Its an addiction.
Stop now before its too late.

Being right is more powerfull than large corporations or governments.
The right argument may not be pervasive, but the facts eventually are.
