I'm looking at R8 carbide indexable end mills from CDCO to use for
cleaning up rusty stock and squaring up stock. One says it uses
tpg-32 inserts. Are those the same as tpg-322?
Another alternative is a similar 2.5" indexable end mill, which uses
a different insert. SPG422 carbide Positive rake, 15 Degree lead angle
I have a Bridgeport with the 2J head. Which of the two is more likely
to give a good finish on hot and cold rolled steel?
What difference does the positive rake and 15º lead angle make?
Here's a link to the 2" one
