Tooling
We have an imperial R8 collet set for tool shanks up to 7/8". We always recommend advanced users bring their own cutting tools, but we strive to keep an assortment of tools on hand for members to use.
The RF45 has recommended capacities in mild steel of 3/4" for end milling and 1-1/2" for drilling.
We're currently in the process of inventorying and refreshing our mill tooling. Please check back later for details.
