My advice: if possible, get something with a gearbox and that comes with
a package of basic tools (JohnR is correct that the machine is only the
start), look at the WARCO and PROXXON websites, be very suspicious about
combined mill-lathes for anything other than light work.


Its possible to get surprisingly high end results from some of the small
multi-purpose machines though if sticking to smaller work. Some of the
stuff this chap knocks out is incredible:
