New End Mill Cutters have arrived

General

Managed to win an eBay bid for 50 HSS end mills (double ended) $19.99. (Coming to HIVE13 on Friday)
These will be a big upgrade from the chipped and worn mills under the machine right now.

Please try to keep them nice. These should last a long time.
If you are uncertain about Mill or Lathe operations Please ask.

A Mill Certification Class will soon be scheduled for August.

Not being a metal man, I need to ask: are these OK for aluminum?

Thanks

These end mills are good for aluminum, iron, steel, stainless, brass. Most anything short of hardened steel (and weld slag).

Just avoid overheating. Feeds and speeds appropriate for the size of our little mill should be fine for most metals we will encounter. Please no ceramics.
