Mill Starting Neccessities

Just wanted to see if there’s anything I missed. This is what I have coming so far.

Min Mill belt conversion
Gas Ram conversion
Collets
End Mills
Vice
Parallels
Edge Finder

I already have center drills, taps, caliper, Dial indicator and the clamping kit.

Thanks Guys.

Talking about travel. Make sure you take off the base for the vise.

And you might want to look at some screw machine drill bits also. I think I need a set.

The Gas Ram gives extended Z travel and is needed by some of the CNC kits so while its not that important, for $40 I figured I may as well get it.

Thanks for the links !

My mill never needed the gas ram conversion. Mine can stay up by its own weight.
