Disappointing results from milling accessory

I purchased this item as an industrial and scientific tool for milling non-ferrous materials. As a hesitant buyer, I was excited to put it to the test. However, as a result of my tests, I determined that this product falls short of my expectations. While it is affordable, the flutes spiral too quickly and lack the precision needed for high-quality machining. The one pro is its affordability, but it ultimately doesn't make up for its lack of performance.

Pros
  • Durable and long-lasting due to being made from aluminum
Cons
  • Not suitable for use on ferrous materials

Not for Alum: Milling Accessories

I bought two of these and got the same result with both. Used maybe 45 seconds and they broke. Used coolant and everything to make sure they don't overheat. I would say rather spend a little more money and do something made in the USA.

Pros
  • Industry and Science
Cons
  • Unsure

Excellent customer service

This 1/4" end mill was effective for precision milling a pocket in 6061 Aluminum after using the drill to drill the first few holes. The only issue was the finishing. Last ones Passes to clean bottom of pocket. A VERY shallow plunge cut was required to clear the recesses from the pilot holes of the drill. This is where the drill did not fail and broke. / 4" end mill as it is quite long for its diameter. I contacted the seller through Revain and reported the issue. They immediately offered to…

Pros
  • End Mill
Cons
