I bought a 3 box set a couple of years ago. They have proved to be more useful than I had expected. When I got them I checked to see how accurate they were. Pretty much dead on. I bought the minus set. .0000 to -.0002" by .001 increments.
Well Dumont is a much better brand if i am not mistaken. But in the case of not needing a broach that often myself. The Accusize brand would prob be more then capable. I did find that Accusize has a bigger set as well but was also a lot more money.
A few years ago I bought the smaller Accusize set. It's been fine for my occasional use. Only a couple of times I needed a different size. Used the closest size in the broach set and finished it with the hand ground tool on the mill. Before I got the broach set I had done a few on the lathe. Any thing of much size at all seemed like I was putting a lot of wear on the lathe. I've tried filing them, wouldn't want anyone to see the result even though it worked.
Yes! Got some chamfer mills as well!!Hmm, are you my shadow?Spent a little on the same with @mattthemuppet2 ! Also some chamfer mills.
