    I'm quite lucky to have built up a workshop with most of these (apart from a wood lathe) and I'd say the CNC router is probably the most useful and versatile.

    I would put CNC milling machine at the top of my list as it is the most versatile. (using a drill press is such a poor substitute ) (since I already have a 3D printer)

    I'd like them all! I already have a 3D printer but I would quite like a bigger one. Dubbie

    Um... All of the Above.  I could probably pass on the wood lathe - but there was a time that was at the top of the list.  I like dougw's milling machine also.  So many choices, so little space.
