Default MSC's web site search

I just sent this email to them. Anyone else here find there search
hard to use. Agree with my comments??

paste

Looking for a 3/4" carbide end mill with a 4" loc. your "refine by"
list lets you pick over all length (OAL) as an option, but not length
of cut(LOC).

OAL is a useless seach option, LOC is the info a machinist needs to
select an endmill for the job.

The other thing I saw was material choice listed as:

Material
Carbide (19)
Carbide - Micrograin (15)
Cobalt - M-42 (115)
HSS (161)
Powdered Cobalt - M-42 (8)
Powdered Metal - M-42 (4)
Solid Carbide (101)
Solid Carbide - C-2 (30)
Solid Carbide - Micrograin (97)
Solid Carbide - Sub-Micrograin (2)


The only thing you need to separate is carbide VS carbide inserts. If
the mill does not take replaceable inserts then just list it as solid
carbide.

All the M-42's should be together. Maybe after you pick M-42 (cobalt)
then you can select regular or powder.


end paste

What do you guys think, am I on target?

I get the impression the guys making the web site have no idea what
M-42 is or means.





Thank You,
Randy
