If you are in the Bay area - or a PCB area - go to a grinding shop.
You will find boxes of un-claimed drills and mills and other shaped cutters.

LPKF trained - ran the software on computer and later on the machine.
Interesting blazing along with a 7 mill endmill or drilling holes...
Important to have a vac cleaner on it - to keep the glass fiber down.

Do you have any documentation - ? Hope so - it helps.

They appear to be endmills or at least some sort of sidecutting bit.
Is this true?

I would call HF, but I don't expect whomever answers the phone to know
much more than what is already listed on the website/catalog.

Background info: I have a small CNC mill (Roland CAMM3), that I have
FINALLY gotten around to proving actually works. Now that I have done
so, I would like to make some stuff with it. It is a benchtop
modeller, and is designed for small bits. I could buy the bits from
Roland but they want a lot of money. I don't expect that these are
going to be "top-end", but if they get the job done they would be cheap
enough to break a few.

I would like to do some cut PCBs and also cutting some shapes in
plastic sheet(see recent thread in relation to that).

Thanks everyone

JW
