. I needed a longer end mill for a specific project. After reading reviews of the Kodiak end mill I went ahead and paid the price hoping it was worth it. Well, let me tell you what it was. My cheap end mills at their best had nothing to do with this Kodiak. To be honest I don't think those cheap end mills can even be considered sharp compared to this one. With a Kodiak in my machine I can turn the collet by hand and this router bit cuts through metal really effortlessly. Very sharp, good quality, I like it.
