    In the market for a new facemill?

    Are there any other source of a facemill here in Australia besides hare and forbes? I'm mainly looking for an 80mm with an NT30 arbor..

    depends on what you are after.

    cheap importers try Home Page - Engineering Tooling Supplies or just buy from ebay.

    bolts and industrial https://www.bolt.com.au/ do kenametal and while the cutters are expensive the arbors are reasonably priced depending on the style and how common they are. they can also do other brands of cutters if asked.

    glacern tools sell some cheep face mills but postage is a killer. Lathe inserts .com same stuff different smell. also postage could be an issue.

    I would check ebay for a sumitomo ufo series high shear. Seen some really good deals lately, bought a few myself.

    I would give old Mick Moyle at summer Hill a ring he has all sorts of stuff like that on hand and some old some new some average some secondhand but like new and a multitude of endmills, facemills,,dovetail cutters gear hobbs just about all the normal industrial stuff, He is open Saturday mornings as well as all week, I have found some great gear there over the years for decent prices, A lot of people seem to have forgotten he is still around or never even knew of him.
    He is in the Phone book or Mr Google
