Question 1
I just got my PM940 and need to get some R8 collets.
I have a lot of inherited mill bits in diameters of 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and a few 3/4".
They are the type with a flat on them for fixing with a set screw.
Should I get mill bit holders, which are pricey???
Should I just get a set of regular R8 collets???
Question 2
What size vice would go best with this machine??? The table is 9.5" wide with a 1.5" cover for the DRO on the back. I don't want to use a crane to move the vice.
