Along with my trusty Myford, which I don't use anything like as much as I'd prefer, I also have one of those dinky liitle Peatol/Taig milling machines, which also gets little use. But when you do need them, they are fantastic. I made the wheel balancing cones on the lathe and my brake light brackets on the mill, along with loads of other brackets, spacers, strange bolts and such. Because all the threads I ever seem to need to cut are in conventional sizes I tend to use Dies, but I have done some on the lathe. Not as easy as it looks!
