    What and where for tooling

    Hi all,

    I believe I have my CNC mill dialed in now and need to purchase some tooling.

    I'm running a Taig mill with the ER16 collet set.

    I'll primarily be miling wood, plastic and eventually some aluminum.

    I'm looking for some ideas as to what end mills are good and where to purchase them from.

    Does someone sell a kit that contains all the common bits?

    I'm seeing that I'm gonna need a better vise pretty soon as well as the cool tooling plate with all the holes drilled in it. Any one have any recommendations here?

    Thanks a lot!

    -Ed

    yeah place like wholesaletools or kbc often have kit but must of those kit will have endmill wich wont fit your er16 collet as the max you can go is 13/32 so you will pay for endmill that you wont use... at least for now in the case where you would eventualy gett a bigger mill
