Afternoon all,
Being as I've just collected my new lathe and milling machine, the only thing I need to purchase is cutting tools and material ;D
I'll start with the lathe, I want to use indexable tooling to start with, until I've found my feet and I know what I need to achieve when grinding HSS myself.
I've had a look at the Glanze tooling but I'm not too sure whether to buy a set of 7 of singles.
Are all 7 used often enough to warrant them?
I've got enough tool holders for them all, but I dont want to buy thing I wont need to use.
It's the same story for the miller really, am I best to buy a set of differing sizes end mills and slot drills until I find out which ones I use most and replace them with the better versions?
Many thanks
Matt
