Review on 🔧 HHIP 2075 0504 Indexable Dovetail Degree Tool by Andre Belitz

So I'll be honest and say it's practically useless. With M2.5 for inserts, the holes are not cut to the end. This combined with other issues resulted in it vibrating too much to be useful even when paired with a concrete slab/building. Took about 20 minutes to do this and a bench/angle grinder along with the required M2.5x1.25 tap and it cuts flawlessly with whatever bit I pair it with. I use a bench machine, but I was still able to make cuts that are 100% of the cut length and a .040 inch radial DOC (in cold formed steel) which I think is pretty solid. I'm taking a picture of a small piece of material that I had to remove, but it really reminded me that all these new CNC/insert guys who grew up and didn't learn in a machine shop just don't look like it when you look at them looks at those tool profiles and it's a shame. Once sharpened they easily deliver much higher stock removal rates, it's just a shame it takes work to get a product that should be ready to use. do what it should do
