Starter CAT40 Tooling Packages?

[Jvizzi]

Anyone know of any good quality Cat40 tooling packages out there? Our shop is in the process of getting its first CNC Mill and I am trying to estimate the cost of all the tooling we would need. I came across a company called Techniks that seemed to have a good starter package but I don't know if they are quality tool holders.

As far as our needs, it would be good to have end mill holders 1/4-3/4 (incrimental) a drill chuck, collet set, a 45 degree insert face mill and 90 degree insert face mill.

Thanks!

No direct experience but I have heard good things about Tool Holders, Collets and Machine Accessories - MariTool

We have had very good luck with HPI or Pioneer tool holders. High quality balanced holders for a great price. Do not forget to add the price of retention knobs(pull studs) for each of your holders.

The glacern stuff has actually been nice. In fact, the vises look nicer than a Kurt.
