The new Okuma M600V big plus 50 taper, 12k, is mostly setup, and holders are packed in the machine instead of on every bench I own.
I have a few straight shank high feed mills (1 ¼"Ø cutter and shank) and some APKT shoulder mills with ¾" and 1" shanks.
Endmill/u-drill holders from my local supplier are roughly the same price as hydraulics from Frank. (And I have to order a bunch of SK collets from Frank anyways)
Milling chucks are ~$800-$1000CAD depending.
OrangeVise has mentioned he uses a hydraulic for some high feed mills, so I'm leaning towards picking up a couple more for the indexables.
Any issues with indexable in hydraulic holders long term, or any other styles worth looking at?
