I need to buy a lot of tools, but I know little about what tool brands are good, or which online store/s to buy from; also any info on what stores discount fairly large purchases would be good.
I'll be using these tools to learn then to prototype my crackpot gun/furniture related ideas for the next year, until I can get a FFL at which point I think I'll start doing small scale customs and smithing.
Let me know any brand preferences you have, tips about any of the tools listed below, or if I've forgotten anything important.
Brass punches
Steel punches
Hammers and Mallets
Pliers
Jewelers files
Wood Files and rasps
Metal files
Tap and Die set
Stones
Screw driver set
Dental tools
Rotary tool
Drill Press
Grinder wheels
Belt sander
Disc sander
Torch tools
TIG welder
Vises
Lighting
Chisels
Polishing tools and compounds
Various bluing chemicals
Scope tools
Checkering tools
Engraving tools
Heaps of sandpaper
Materials for hotbox
Measuring equipment
Various Hemostats
Brass/alum shimming
Cutting boards
Action wrench and barrel vise
Materials for heavy press
Paper cutter
Broken screw removal tools
Brushes
File cleaners
Lead tape
Lapping Compound Kit
Reloading stuff
Crowning tools
Sandblaster
Basic set of leather working tools
I also need to know more about what kind of CNC mill I need, I figure it can't hurt to ask here, but I'll probably cross post about it on a machining forum.
Thanks in advance.
