Nowhere is where you are trying to use 1/8" HSS end mills.

That's were you will stay until you stop trying to trip over a dollar to get to a penny.

I'm 53 years old. Thanks for the compliment Grandpa.

Impressionable youngsters tend to be obsessed with impressing regardless of actual chronological age. Guys like you are still boys, albeit with costlier toys.

Those would be costlier toys that no one in their right mind would trust you to program, setup or operate:

Time to put down the shovel. All you're doing is digging yourself a deeper hole.

This sandbox is too shallow for that.

So is your ability to comprehend what others are telling you who have the experience you clearly don't.

No, it was Jon _Elson_ who posted that. Banquer has been in my

Yet another reason Larry Jackass remains utterly clueless.

I do several types of plastic and several types of steel and brass.

Manual engraving machine. I have a grinder and haven't yet got it out.

I have diamond and burnishing. Mostly D's.

I have solid carbide and HSS. It turns right fast.

I've never tried twist flutes. Used tiny 5 mil and 3 mil when
milling PCB but these are like 5" long .125" diameter. I'll have
to go to a center grind shop and get a nice blank. Then cutoff
and grind the ends. Hum..

I'm milling plastic. Use D drills and mills.

If you are milling plastic..you dont need carbide, unless they are
something like MolyD Delrin..and even then its questionable

There has to be a cutter and tool grinder in your vicinity. Have him
make you up a few cutters. Its not hard and you can spec anything
special you want. Might cost you $35-50 for the first one (set up)
but the rest will be cheaper.

And they can make them any length you require. I had some drills made
up for one of my people last year.... .259x 11"

Only 1/8" shank diameter and on the pricy side. Thanks anyway.

To be fair, (and I geez can't believe I am agreeing with jonnie) the
Harvey tool end mills are really good stuff. I think they make up for
their price in reduced cutter breakage. I don't buy all Harvey too, but
they make up a large percentage of my specialty stuff.
