Xcuze me for the newbie's strange question of the day :
Can a lathe be replaced by a milling machine for quite all metalworking?
In another terms, a milling machine is more universal than a lathe or not?
(It's for me : buying first lathe or milling machine?)


You can get milling attachments for lathes, that let you do small
milling jobs a bit more awkwardly than you could with a dedicated mill.

If you can get turning attachments for milling machines they're not very
common...
