So I got the good news that my Cousins son just got accepted into a Tool & Die apprenticeship in New York.
My cousin called & asked me what tools his son should buy first and I rattled off a few & told him I would give it some more thought and get back to him.
I haven't worked down in the shop for a long time and went by memory, but here is a top ten list I was going to give him. I thought
I would run it by you guys to see if I missed anything obvious that should be on the list.
1. 0-1” Micrometers
2. 0 – 6” Calipers
3. Edge finder
4. Dial indicator
5. 1-2-3 Blocks (set of two)
6. Combination set (Includes 12” scale and different combination pieces that allow you to scribe any line you need)
7. Scribe/indicator stand
8. ‘V’ Block
9. 1” – 2” mics
10. Lockable toolbox
