Robert;
I guess that's what most people call them( I just call it a big a$$ mill)???? Not sure of the actual brand name,but it is a big unit and one that I'm fairly handy using,I usually do not use the lathe as it is too easy to destroy something including the lathe gears,so my cousin/machinest does all the lathe work,but he lets me have my run with the mill............they are not that expensive,this was bought about 5 to 8 years ago in excellent used condition for less than 2k,with some tooling,now the real money is in tooling,probably another 1500 to 2k in tooling thru the years........
the lathe was also bought used in poor looking condition,but good working order out of an old sawmill,took about 6 months to take it completely apart and go thru it and replace a couple of worn gears and re-assemble.......
You would not believe the things that can be done on a mill...........
