[Cross post from Sherline group]
As a way of documenting what I am learning as well as to say "Thanks" to
those who are helping me to learn, I am working on providing some
web-based tutorials on how to do CNC machining with a small Sherline
mill/lathe.
I want to specify the precise tooling used in the examples. The CAD/CAM
vendor I have selected has offered to make tooling definitions within his
software so that I can select from common tooling. I am asking for
assistance from this group in two areas:
First, I am looking for a supplier of small tooling that is suitable for
the Sherline Mill/Lathe, who ships to customers on both sides of the
Atlantic.
Most important, would anyone care to offer recommendations on the 4 or 5
most common cutting tools that I should purchase for each of the Sherline
Mill/Lathe? (I want to make sure that any tutorials use readily available
tooling so that others can follow along.)
Any recommendations?

p.s.. If you are interested in CNC on a Sherline and would like to see
