I recently got a huge assortment of bits pretty cheap. I am a newby to machining and bought my first mill a couple of weeks ago. It's a 1979 Jet-16 with R8 collets. Please let me know if my terminology is wrong. I love to learn and this site have been a big help.
I tried googling part numbers on the bits with no luck. It looks like a brand name on many is LRTS and micro grain. Many have a taper to the top and some have a short shank. Please assume I know NOTHING about machining and I will appreciate any info I can get. I am proficient at welding and general fabrication. I bought this mill to learn the art of detailed machine work.
I would be glad to do some trading if someone sees a specialty bit that need. Most appear to be new and wax dipped.
