I have tried searching this subject a couple of times via google and I have come up with very little so I thought I should just start my own thread.
I am purchasing my first VMC this week, a 2008 Sharp 2412s. I have a list of almost all of the sizes of tools that I will need to be purchasing (based off of my drawings and what I think I will need). I cut mostly aluminum (6061, 7075) and I would like to get into mold making for aluminum die casting.
Getting to the point I was wondering if I would be able to purchase everything I need from one place and what tools/tool holders would be best. It has CAT40 taper but I don't know anything about the ER specs. Any help or links to help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
