Hi All,
I've recently bought a used (Hare and Forbes) Hafco HM-50 Milling Machine that didn't come with any tooling.
From their website I'm getting an idea of some of the basic tooling I need to buy, at the moment I'm thinking Parallels, arbor and collet set, facing tools, etc
Just wondering has anyone bought the vertex K-type machine vices, are they any good, are there any equivalent vices out there worth considering, I'd love to spend up and buy the best but will probably have to settle for entry level equipment at the moment.
I have some friends that I'll be hitting up for some training but any advice on what to buy and brand names would be handy as I have limited experience
Cheers
