Thread: VMC Tooling Advice Needed!

Hi everyone,
I have just picked up up a Myford VMC and am trying to get me head around how to use it and the different tooling (and terminology!) that came with it.
I have worked out that the machine has a R8 taper and it came with a few different tool holding parts.
The picture shows the following:-
Clarkson Autolock Chuck (and a load of end mills to fit)
ER32 Chuck and collets
A face mill
An Albrecht drill chuck (in a R8 adapter)
A Jacobs Drill Chuck
So my question is is any of these worth keeping or would I be better selling them and buying something else? The ER32 set looks like it would be very useful but the Clarkson autolock chuck already had a load of end mills with it (more not pictured). I guess I cant use the threaded end mills with the ER chuck?
Not sure if the drill chucks are worthwhile as I have a pillar drill? Or I guess the mill would be more accurate (Mill also has 3 axis DRO's).
Any advice to this novice would be most welcome!
Thanks,
JimLast edited by cncJim; 01-09-2014 at 12:01 PM.
