Ok, so I don't even have the VN12 home yet but I started thinking about tooling. I need your suggestions on where to start.
I believe I have a full set of the VN 5v collets coming with the mill and if memory serves they max out at 1/2 inch. So my questions are the best set up for drill chuck, fly cutter, face mill etc. Have any of you had any luck making your own collets to hold these larger tools?
I have absolutely zero experience with a mill of any kind. All knowledge so far is from reading and YouTube and this forum.
Regarding the horizontal mill, I'm getting the arbor and over arm support but no tooling. So wondering what the most useful or common cutters would be so I can start looking for them.
Thanks for your thoughts and experience.
