An edge finder, vices, clamps, nuts and bolts, air supply/oil for cutting and cooling. You'll need some end mills and depending on what you plan on cutting there are many different types. Pick up a machinist handbook and read up on spindle speeds and feed rates.

hi sweetdiesel just looking at making chassie shock towers that sort of thing to start with out of aluminum was going to get "edge finder, center finder ,vice, clams and two flute end mills to start with and go from there .I've never used a mill before so total newbie
Go slow and do simple projects first. Try going to a few local machine shops and ask for scrap pieces to play around with. Have fun and good luck.
