#162940 - 10 mil end mills Responding to: ???'s previous message |
I had the sense that he was using small-diameter end-mills rather than V mills. I once had to operate with such small (10-mil) tools in a high-speed vertical milling machine. I can't imagine those lasting long. I certainly broke a few, and they're not cheap. I bought a pack of the 10 mil end mills. I've used them, and they work fine (of course, I don't diddle with the manufacturer's suggested operating parameters). I didn't break any of them, but I quickly discontinued using them because of the expense. They wear out unbelievably fast. I decided that a better solution was to find a different way to do the job. I still have several brand new ones left. Joe |
