What are some of the top tools you would suggest for a beginner to go ahead and get that just started as an apprentice machinist
Keep it simple until you know if you want to keep doing this.. What you need, and what you want...
I've got stuff I've bought that I've never used, I've got stuff I bought because it was interesting and different,
and I'd never needed or used one before and use it all the time.. (specifically a tube mic)..
I DO NOT, and HAVE NEVER owned a six inch scale, believe it or not. Maybe its because I put my sugar and my cream in my
coffee cup before I put the coffee in and have no need to stir? Though I ALWAYS have a Stanley Decimal tape measure close.
Keep it simple and basic until you know what you need... What you WILL need, basic hand tools, screwdrivers, wrenches..
Allen wrenches, not Allen Brand (they SUCK!!!!!) Bondhus or Eklind, several sets, because you will lose them.
A small set of torx wrenches is a god send for machinists.
The itty bitty screwdrivers.. If for nothing else, they are good for getting the crud out from under your fingernails.
A calculator or 20...
Back up Sharpies and high lighters, well hidden so nobody else knows you have them.
Nail clippers.. Those sharp little edges are awesome to grab the tiniest little metal slivers, far better than tweezers.
Buy it as you need it.... or want it..
