This product stands out for its exceptional performance and durability. Through trial and error, I found that it significantly improved the precision and speed of my milling process. Its high-quality construction and precise sizing make it an ideal accessory for both industrial and scientific applications. The only downside is that it may be too expensive for hobbyists, but the investment is worth it for professionals who rely on consistent results. Overall, I highly recommend this cutting tool
Pros
Durable and long-lasting due to high-speed steel construction
Cons
May require frequent sharpening to maintain cutting performance
I've had good luck with Kodiak Cutting end mills. The work must be well secured and you must only cut clockwise or you will break the cutting flutes on any end mill if you don't. Even with aluminum, you can only make small, shallow cuts with each pass.
Bought this type for finishing as my Kodiak 2FCEM is not long enough, it usually takes long DOC (.125-.6) short pitch finishes and this is a great tool for that . Leaves a smooth surface and is very hard as a tool. Run a lot of programs with it and it hasn't let me down yet.
