My mill can be run as a regular DRO with the hand control.
Similar to this one: http://www.aremfg.biz/Equipment/Tree_Journeyman_325_L.jpg
See the wheel control top right - easy to use and super accurate.
I don't think a CNC with tool changers is at all neccesary - way overboard for single piece smithing jobs. Bramble is right about the programming, but for simple stuff, it isn't that bad. Plus, it is fun to stand back and watch your brainchild program come to life right on the bed.
Also, I don't know any machinist - pro or amateur - who didn't wish they had just popped for a cnc to begin with.
By the way, mine cost $4200,bought four years ago, but is a few years older than the one above. Its a Journeyman 310.

He who lives in the past is doomed to enjoy it.
