RE: Milling cutters

[Tim Krause]

Curt uses them. Mostly for jobs that require a long length.  Curt's out of town 
for a little while so you won't hear from him any time soon.

Now in a pinch, I've been known to do the opposite and use a two flute carbide 
or hss to mill aluminum NOT on the legacy, but on my mill.  I've also used hss 
two flute cutters on delrin.

The old machinist will tell you that hss can have a sharper edge than carbide, 
but with some of the newer micro grain carbides they can match the level of 
sharpness. Carbide is very easy to damage if you drop one on the floor they 
will most likely chip. Hss in the same drop might get a tiny dent that can be 
sharpened while the carbide could new special tooling to sharpen that most wood 
workers don't have unless they are really into sharpening their own tools.

That's my initial thoughts folks.

RE: Milling cutters

[bulkeley]

I like them for one of jobs they are cheap to buy you can with a bit of skill 
resharpen or grind a certain shape. 

They don’t last anywhere near as long as carbide and you have to run them 
slower but they are cheaper to buy

I'm sure we will hear from him - but I believe that Curtis has been telling us for years that end mill cutters are "the way to go" for a number of tasks. H advises that they are easy to find - and cheap.Mac-Original Message-

Well since the Revo is only a 6.5 diameter and red maybe not? They both are a 
bit Rube Goldgerg looking! Thanks for showing it.
