Tooling up a mill
#37
Thought I'd revive this post, as a shipment from tools4cheap was waiting for me when I arrived home. In it were the following items:

a set of 1/8" parallels (10 pairs - 1/2" to 1-5/8")
a pair of 1-2-3 blocks (like all good ones the through holes are undersized)
a 3/8 x .200 edge finder
a 3/16" - 3/4" keyless chuck
2x 400 series style 1 tool holders
2x 400 series style 2 tool holders

   

The last three items listed are actually for my lathe but I figured that you wouldn't care if they were included here. In fact, I do have one of those chucks on a NMTB30 arbour for the mill and my friend has the 5/8" one on his lathe. I am very impressed with the quality and the price $37 with the arbour, that I decided to buy one for the lathe.

The edge finder is made by Fisher Machine. I have their Pee-Dee thread wires and was impressed by the quality and service when I bought those (not everyone is willing to ship to Australia). The fact that Jeff offers their products makes it a no brainier to buy and add to the one shipment. There is a small flat on the tip, which provides an audible click. I'll be interested to see how I go using it given that my eyesight is much better than my hearing!
