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'.


C8 plus 5-flute sounds like carbide.



It may be. There was a message on their website that DuraMill had
stopped selling carbide and HSS in 2008.
