Review on Drill America Speed Steel Single by Matthew Goozmer

Revainrating 1 out of 5

NOT center cut. Anyway, I don't recommend it.

This end mill is definitely NOT a center cut, although the description says "center cut end mill type". It seems to be a good quality end mill but I haven't used it yet and it will be some time before I will; therefore 3 stars. Addendum: I was finally able to try this end mill and am totally disappointed. I can easily get a .100 cut on my hobby router, but with this end mill I can barely get .010 at less than half the feed due to vibration. This is not chatter, but a vibration that weakens even the collet. The cleanliness of the cut was on par with a coarse end mill, but the vibration and slow feed make it unsuitable for me. Rating changed to 1 star.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
