guys I have been in the dreaming planning stages of converting my little seig 2 mill to cnc for I guess a couple of years. I have the Stirling steel plans , have started machining the parts and have purchased the hardware for the conversion . I have my eyes on a couple of viable electronics packages I can afford.
the question I have is what do you guys the ones with home /hobby CNC mills use for quick change tool holders that have preset tools. I like the idea of the tormach but cost more than the mill or the cnc electronics. Some suggestions please !! BTW my mill has the 3 MT taper.
should I just try to collect onies and twosies of drill chucks and mill holders ,look for sets at Enco or ?? What do the guys with home cnc experience consider a basic starter set when it comes to tooling I know this varies with the part but how have you addresses this hurdle if you even see it as one. As far as tool holding now i just use a set of 3 MT collets from Little machine shop I also have a ER collet set.
Pleas help
