An idea me and a mate thought of was to make a home made mill or lathe (or go the whole way and make a 4 axis) and then use this hopefully very cheap mill to make components for a more accurate purpose built mill which should then have the durability to survive a decent amount of time. No idea if it would work or not. Especially because I'm the only one with any milling experience and that was from work experience at school where all i did was load material into the mill. Run the cnc program by pressing the big green button. Take product out. Put material in and press green again...
