Thanks,
I still do not understand how a bigger machine has a smaller taper. I plan to drive to the Bernardo plant and showroom one of these days.
About the option of keeping both press drill and mill, what work do you prefer to do with the press drill rather than with the mill ? I have two issues in keeping both:
1) The space on the working bench.
2) I was hoping to recover some money selling the Flott, to invest in the new mill.
What about cutters ? What set would you buy as starter kit ? What shape ? What material ? I see cutters that "look" the same to me ranging from 3 to 100 euros. Is it only a matter of material ? What is the best value for money ?
As shapes I think I would want something to chamfer the edges of plates, a 45 degrees cutter, a ball end cutter and some end mill.
Thanks,
D.
