3 in 1 Advice

[ShuckersFan]

I need to replace my drill press and was considering getting one of those 3 in 1 mill/drill/lathe machines. Maybe a Smithy or one from Harbor Freight... Any thoughts on these? I've been thinking of picking up a mill anyway, and the lathe would be a bonus. Are these worth it or should I get a seperate drill press and mill?

Thanks

I have never owned a 3 in 1 so my advice is all second hand. Most so called knowldgable people say get seperate but I guess it depends on your purpose and space available. My brother in law's dad had a smithy and he loved it. He did many wonderful things with it.

3n1 Smithy only dont wast your money on anything from Harabal fright. You get what you pay for. Only my opinion.
