help on milling ends ive bough myself a mini milling machine. i would like to know what mill ends would be best all round job. thanks"thumbsup" |
When I bought my first mill I bought these end mills... 2 flute end mills 3/32" 1/8" 1/4" 4 flute end mills 1/8" 1/4" All of the above were double ended and cost me between $6.45 and $14.08 a piece. With these you should be able to start making simple cuts and learning to play with your new toy. Any info you need, feel free to PM me anytime. Good luck, congrats, and have fun. |
is there anyway online shops you know of that will post to Australia? i work in metric so ill metric mill ends |
if you don't want to buy both 4 flute and 2 flute end mills just go with 2 flute. they do everything 4 flute's can do and you can plunge with them if they are center cutting. try dormer i am pretty sure they have a place in OZ. and unless you plan on cutting hardened steel then i would go with high speed steel end mills. if you want to cut hard stuff. carbide would be best. |
