I just posted this in the metals forum, but thought I would post it here too since this forum gets a lot of attention.
Just starting out with my equipment and want to order an inventory of brass, aluminum and any other likely materials I will need to get some practice turning and milling on my Micro Lux lathe and milling machines. I know I want bar stock of various sizes and some square stock as well for the mill.
Can someone here chime in and give me what they would consider a good inventory starting point? Sizes, metal types and spec #s etc. This will get me some stock to start practicing on and will allow me to establish a customer relationship with one of the on-line metal dealers.
I know this is asking a lot, but it sure would help.
