I just won a pair of new Duramill 5/32" five flute end mils( ULT-50156)
online. I paid $9.61 & shipping. The OEM prices them at over $20 each.
The packaging is marked 'C8 Duralube'.

Good brand? Junk, or somewhere in between?


Five flute on an EM that small is certainly unusual and would be
expensive. I'm curious, what would be the advantage over four flute in
something that small? FWIW, I nearly always use two flute on 1/8 and
smaller.
