Just getting into the mode of purchasing some tooling for my Bridgeport 2J. I have ZERO R8 tooling as of yet. I know it's pretty available. I live in machine tool mecca / Detroit area.
I am just wondering if i should swap the spindle out of the machine for something like the Erickson Quick change and / or NMTB 30 spindle to take advantage of cheap tooling? I don't know that i will ever upgrade to a different machine, but i could see it happening down the road. I use the bridgeports at work and find that end mills can walk out sometimes.
I'm sure it's a can of worms, but what makes sense here?
