Seriously, I also think that the tool doesn't make the job by itself and a good builder can do incredible thing with very few tools. Many threads on this forum prove it.
Unfortunatly I never tried a manual milling, cnc is my first experience with milling but I can understand what you mean by "crankink hand wheels" whe I'm using my manual lathe, and it's effectively a good feeling of working really on the stuff, more than via a computer! But cnc also help to make some shape easier, althought for a newbie

Thanks a lot Big John!! I hope the results will worth it

they are hard to find , and if you find them , you need more then 2 guys to move them you are 100 % right with cnc . there's some stuff that would've taken me for ever on a manual . wait till I get some axles done
OTOH , your doing a great job
