I'm looking for endmills that are sort of shaped like a woodruff key
cutter. That is an endmill with a smaller shank than the cutting
edges. One with something like a 1/2 inch shank and a 3/4" diameter
cutter. is there a name for for this type of endmill? Know of a
source?

I need to cut shallow slots in a side wall of a big slot, if that
makes sense.

What "thickness" of cut do you need?

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.

A fair bit of metal to remove: the slot is 0.100 deep, .800 wide and
2.0" long on the side wall of a big slot in 4140. Two per part, 25 or
more parts. I know a woodruff would never hold up. I see they make
indexable T slot cutters, I'm watching eBay now.

I have a cutter in front of me that's about 1-1/2 dia x 5/8 wide on
the working end x 3/4" dia neck x 1" shank, and have a few more
similar. If you're ready to consummate our teflon-for-drills trade we
can throw a few of these into the mix if they'll work for you.

Sorry Ned,

My son took dibs on the drill bits. I guess I shouldn't have left them
sit on the shop table.
