11/29/2015: Added Enco to title since posts include comments from both.
I just finished setting up a PM1236 Lathe and PM932M-PDF Mill from Precision Matthews, but at this point I have zero tools and I've never used a lathe or mill before. So I'm not in a good position considering Black Friday is around the corner.
I plan to place an order with Enco, but Shars appears to sell some better quality items and they have a 20% off Sale starting tomorrow. I could really use some help making a list. I've listed a couple items I'm considering (prices before discount) but comments/additions are welcome. Thanks.
SKU202-0011 Pro Tram System 1/2" Shank With 0.25" .0005" Indicator $109
SKU 202-1279 Electronic Edge Finder $42.75
SKU404-9041 1/2"-1" M2AL 4pc Roughing End Mill Set $59.95
SKU303-5502 Ultra Precision 1-2-3 Block $24.50
(?) 2 Flute End Mill Set
(?) 4 Flute End Mill Set
(?) V Block(s)
Also looking at carbide tipped boring bar sets (plan to get one each of C2 and C6) but not sure of size(s)?
