[QUOTE="longtooth, post: 71005, member: 4039"] Reed The need for tooling is a given,I use carbide inserts and endmills but high speed steel will work (you will learn about shaping and grinding your own in class.) You will find you can get a student discount on lots of differant tooling if bought through the school.Here is a list of some smithing tools, some of the stuff you can make yourself as your learning. An extension handle for your chamber reamers, screw jacks, tapping guides, a little tool that has helped me is a piese of 1 inch bandsaw blade with the teeth ground off and in the center I drilled and tapped holes to fit the most common gun screws then I have somthing to hold on to as I grind them to size and when I remove them it cleans up the thread for me, their are lots of fixtures and tools you can make I'm sure others on the site can give you some advise [/QUOTE]
