Given the shipping costs, perhaps a 3-in-1 tool (lathe, drill
press, and mill) would be a better choice for you, in spite of the known
problems with such machines. At least, you would be paying only once.
(Though most who have started with a 3-in-1 machine have moved on to
separate machines after a while.

Best of luck,

Brilliant! In spite of my dislike for such tools, this is a classic example
of where one might benefit by owning one. I heartily endorse the idea.
