I received my mill and now i'm try to obtain the tooling, finding out tooling is expensive. Would like suggestions on a universal dial indicator that you can use on the spindle to find a hole center for boring.
 
Check on Ebay, look for Federal TestMaster T-1, they are what I've been using for 30 years, they're out of production, so there's no new price and the used prices are not high. I just used one to center on a piece .125 OD, on my mill. I built a clamp that mounts on the spindle, and holds the indicator. It (the indicator) can be adjusted to read either ID or OD.
 
Welcome to the addiction. Yes tooling can and will exceed the price of the machine. Look at EBay for some good prices.
