Need some help from my head machining buddies

To upgrade the seat cutting tooling to the “serdi style”, between cutter bodies, tip holders, an assortment of inserts, and a setting fixture....... it’s real easy to end up spending a couple grand.

The Goodson starter kit is about $1000.

I’d also buy a few new pilots of the real common sizes right off the bat.

I can’t offer any insight about the intricacies of using that type of machine....... all i’ve ever used are VGS-20’s and a VGS-19.
