Re: Need some recommendations for tooling

Hi so, I started making the list. It needs to be finished tonight.

For the CNC Router I have chosen the Shapeoko Xl kit with the Dewalt router.
I also put down about $140 worth of ball cutters and flat cutters from carbide 3d

For the lathe I have taken everyone's suggestion and went for a better lathe. I still feel like we wont use it too much but I am willing to believe the people with experience are right (it hasn't failed me yet). So I put the Grizzly G0768 lathe on the list.

I put down the original table saw on the list which is just a Dewalt compact job site table saw

The unexpected purchase of the day was the rage3 miter saw. I watched some videos and I am sold. We have a chop saw made for steel and a crappy miter saw made for wood but I think investing in something this nice is worth it.

I also just decided to go with a cheap belt/disc sander combo from Harbor Freight.

The only thing left is tooling for our mill and lathe. I am not sure what to buy and I am not sure if Robochair's links are still applicable so if anyone could please help linking me to everything we need I would be very thankful. We want some DROs for both. Along with some measuring stuff. All we really have is a pair of digital calipers and a pair of manual calipers.

The only thing I have put on the list so far is this http://littlemachineshop.com/product...ProductID=3969

So, that leaves us at about $3,545 including shipping on the Carbide and Grizzly stuff.

After tooling we are just going to buy a smaller arbor press. (I think giving up broaching is going to have to happen).

Thanks for all your help!
