Bit of background, im an apprentice maintenance fitter, and am the only one in work signed off to use the mill and lathe, we only really use the in a pinch, to test out ideas or to do our own bits and pieces.
Now onto the real question, I've been given slight free reign to buy some tooling and bits an pieces for our bridgeport mill as I cant be expected to use it without the right kit.
Currently we have a full set of r8 collets imperial and metric.
2 flue and 4 flute cutters
Jacobs chuck and keyless chuck.
Apart from this nothing else, so far on my purchase list I've got parallels,
Dial indicator,
Test indicator,
Edge finder,
Has anyone got any other suggestions on any other basic pieces of kit I should be looking at
Thanks
