Re: Lathe and milling attachment - which cutters to get started?
|
I started the same way did, with the lathe milling attachment. I went with a 3/8¡± collet and set of HSS Center cutting 4 Flute 3/8¡± shank endmills from LMS. < > ? This way I only needed one 3/8¡± collet. ? I quickly learned that I had made a mistake trying to mill on the lathe and purchased a 3990 Hi-Torque mill from LMS. ? Only attempt conventional milling on the lathe, no climb cutting. Good Luck. ? Michael - California, USA Micro-Mark MicroLux 7x16 LMS 3990 Hi-Torque Mill with power feed ? ? ?

I have a milling attachment and collet faceplate and collets.
What cutters should I get to start?
I don't have any specific projects in mind, yet.
Thanks.
