In one of the books I believe Gingery spoke to this. In effect he said that the first lathe can help you make a better one. The lathe is the machine that lets you bootstrap your shop. Once you have that you can build better hardware. In a way this should be pretty obvious.
Even for Gingery the projects evolved over time in quality, the improved bed for the mill being one example. Many of the tools however aren't even possible without the lathe in the first place. The lathe is key to fabricating more robust hardware.
