Hey guys, I have a few questions so please bare with me. I have never ran a milling machine and don't know half of what should be purchased to get a start in milling. I'm looking at buying a Grizzly G0762 in a few months along with some starter tooling.
What are some things I should buy first besides the mill? Things I have in mind are a rotary table, vise, clamping kit, various end mill bits, and 1-2-3 blocks. What else should a beginner purchase to effectively get a good start at milling?
I don't really have any specific parts I'm going to be making. I do however want to make some dress up parts for my car and possibly some performance parts. Things suck as brackets, mounts and things of that nature. The mill will be used for other things that see fit as time goes buy. So what does the hive say? What all should I look at buying for all around milling? My budget is $5-6k. So some things may have to be purchased at a later date.
