I just bought two new bridgeport Ez Vision mills. I am looking into buying new quick change tooling for them and I was wondering if anyone knows what is good and what is not.

What type of tooling does it accept? (i.e. QC30, KS200, R8, e.t.c.)

I dont have a bridgeport, I have a chinese clone, but I am in the same situation. If your machine is R8 spindle taper like mine, I found probably the 2 best options.

If you care about fixed tool offsets then I would look into http://www.mach-1tooling.com. these kits are a factory option from bridgeport but are pricey. $1500 for a full kit.

If you dont care about fixed offsets then I would just get a powered drawbar, about $700 for the kit.

I'm leaning toward the mach1 kit even though it is expensive because I converted to CNC and fixed tool offsets would make all operations super easy.

hope this helps, Vince
