The Home Machinist!

Hello,
I am a newbie. I just ordered a Grizzly G0492 lathe mill combo and am excited to get it set up working. Never used a lathe or mill in my life but have the desire to make my own stuff. I am having trouble finding a beginner package tooling for the lathe and mill. Any help would be appreciated.

Once you get your machine you'll find out the fun and rewarding feeling to "make something" !

Try to find a person close to where you live that has experience so con can speed-up the learning process plus some safety.

Thanks Jose !
I know that I will learn alot just from following forums like this one. Just trying to figure out which tooling I will need for beginning and experimenting is a little difficult with no prior experience.

Take a look at the Smithy site....They have tooling packages for start up. Some of this is Smithy specific, but you may be able to adapt the concept to your needs, then order from your supplier the tools that fit your machine.
