[QUOTE="Phil P, post: 5987474, member: 33598"] It’s frightening when you start adding up all the extra bits you end up getting, trouble is a lot are for as you say one off jobs. My mill came with no tooling but did have the dro, since then I’ve bought collets, clamping sets, vices, rotary table, dividing head, and let’s not forget all the various sizes of cutters, end mills, slot drills etc. It soon adds up but some jobs are impossible without the right kit. As you say, in this throwaway age and with the takeover of cnc it’s a diying art! A lot of very nice machines where also weighted in when scrap prices where high meaning decent old kit is now very expensive and hard to come by! [/QUOTE]
