Personally, I'd avoid getting any Grizzly tools. They really are crap. My experience is that they fall apart, have manufacturing defects, and are really weak/sloppy. A higher quality mill will be much, much more rigid.

Get a bridgeport, it's really worth it. If you can't get any 220v power, use a VFD converter. A DRO is really nice to have, but not 100% essential.

As for tooling, try asking local companies. We get an incredible number of reground endmills in all shapes and sizes from our sponsor once they have been reground too much and no longer meet their spec, but they work just fine for us.

If you don't have a lathe, I might consider getting one before a mill, but that's just my opinion.
