I have a lathe but no mill. I'm looking at getting a tabletop 3 axis
trammel CNC, which I think will be cheaper and more useful for me than a
knee mill, but I have a project which would require a lot of collet
slotting in delrin, and this machine seems not the best choice. I feel
like I've seen a dedicated machine, but don't remember where. Also, I'm
wondering if some sort of sharpening machine could be adapted.
Thanks!

Burke or Nichols hand feed mill? These have a lever with rack & pinion
instead of a hand crank and lead screw for the longitudinal feed.

There's also the Barker mill, which uses 3c collets for a max capacity of
1/2" and takes up very little space.
