MscDirect has a sale today and tomorrow on Hertel tooling, 45% off.
Picked up a few more 3/8 endmills, only $7 a piece.
See too many newbies buying the chinese junk and then complain about
crappy parts, crappy finishes and broken bits.
Wait for the good stuff to go on sale, they do a lot at MSC, and get some quality endmills, you'll be better off.
Sharp tools make milling fun not an ordeal like so many go thru.
Don't try to learn using junk, you won't know if the problems you are having
are your fault, the machines or in most cases, the shoddy bits.
Just and old farts advice.
