OK RDP, after 30 or so years of wanting a mill at home I am picking up a newe Jet 3/4 scale Bridgport clone on Saturday. https://www.metalshoptools.com/prod...MItvDqoN2b4gIVkR-tBh0B8AejEAQYBSABEgIimvD_BwE
This is very much a for fun thing with no intention of doing any work other than pissing around. The first project will be a folding barefoot boom for the Sanger (Mounts/brackets out of Al). Will follow that up with some cavitation plate hardware.
What would you all suggest for basic tooling to get started?
Vise
Clamps/blocks
end mills/collets
Rotary table ???
Edge finder
I have a pretty good assortment of calipers, mics, and dial indicators already.
Would prefer to buy decent quality used stuff over cheap imports for most things.
