What mill to buy

[pugs]

I would opt for a small mill with R-8 tooling over morse taper. It releases easier and there are quite a few companies out there that make mill tooling for it. Years ago it may have been that morse taper tooling was more prevelant.

Myself I want to find a manual mill that takes Cat40 tools as thats what I have for the VMC stuff and hate having 2 different systems.
