I think you have to start with a lathe but if, like me, you are in the
business of making a working model rather than an exhibition model, then I
would plug the early acquisition of a linisher. I converted one end of my
grinder into one many years ago and wished I had done it many years earlier.
What a timesaver it has turned out to be. I use good quality belts and the
speed with which I can round the end of rods or fettle castings is amazing -
mind you, you do need good gauntlets to hand the work - it gets very hot!
It's just essential to emphasise the need to clean the dust away after any
operation involving aluminium.
