CNC Starter Kit — Everything You Need to Start Machining

Setting up a new CNC workshop? Overwhelmed by the hundreds of tools and inserts you might need? You're not alone.

New machining businesses waste thousands of dirhams buying tools individually, often duplicating purchases or ending up with mismatched, incompatible tooling.

The SAN Tools CNC Starter Kit solves this problem. We've curated a complete beginner bundle with everything you need to confidently start turning and milling operations — from precision measurement tools to production-ready carbide inserts and cutting holders.

📦 What’s Inside

This kit includes essential external and internal turning tooling, general-purpose carbide inserts for steel machining, precision solid carbide endmills for milling, high-speed steel drill sets, and professional-grade measurement instruments. We've also included a quick-start application guide to help you set optimal speeds and feeds right away.

✅ Why This Kit?

• Assembled by SAN Tools’ application engineers with over 37 years of combined experience in cutting tools and CNC operations.
• Eliminates guesswork — each tool is selected for versatility, reliability, and compatibility with standard CNC machines.
• Everything a new workshop needs — nothing more, nothing less.

💰 Total Value

If purchased separately, kit pricing saves you 13% and gets you set up immediately.

Perfect for: New CNC workshops, contract manufacturers entering machining, training facilities, and businesses transitioning from manual to automated operations.

⭐ Features

• 100% Complete Beginner Solution — No need to research what tools to buy first; everything is included and pre-selected for compatibility and versatility across turning and milling operations.
• Curated by 37-Year Industry Experts — SAN Tools’ application engineers have decades of field experience and have tested each tool combination to ensure reliable performance in real-world workshops.
• Cost Savings vs. Individual Purchases — Bundle pricing offers 13% savings compared to buying each tool separately, plus you avoid impulse purchases or redundant tools.
• Precision Measurement Built In — Includes professional digital caliper and outside micrometer so you can verify dimensions and maintain tight tolerances from day one.
• Immediate Productivity — The included quick-start application guide gets your team running optimal speeds and feeds right away, reducing setup time and material waste.
• Standard-Fit Tooling — All holders and inserts use industry-standard interfaces (20mm shank, CNMG/CCMT pockets), making future upgrades and replacements simple and affordable.

🛠️ How to Use

• Getting Started — Unbox the kit and inventory each tool against the included checklist. Mount the MCLNR holder in your lathe turret and the boring bar in your internal tooling slot. Load the carbide inserts into the tool holders and clamp your first workpiece. Refer to the quick-start guide for recommended RPM and feed rates for your material.
• Getting Precise Dimensions — Use the included digital caliper for quick measurements (accurate to 0.02mm) and the micrometer for finish verification when tighter tolerances are required. The edge finder helps you locate your workpiece edges accurately on the mill.
• Drilling Operations — Start with the HSS drill set for initial hole work. Keep the inserts and endmills on standby for finishing cuts and bore operations once you’ve established your CNC machine’s capabilities.
• Expanding Your Toolkit — As orders grow, order additional insert boxes and endmills in different geometries. Because all tools in this kit use standard 20mm holder interfaces and CNMG/CCMT insert pockets, scaling production is straightforward.
• Maintenance & Longevity — Clean inserts after each job, store in the original case, and rotate tools based on wear patterns. The quick-start guide includes care tips to extend tool life and improve finish quality.
