As you all know, I'm a shopper when it comes to home tooling.
The mini-mills say the maximum end mill size is 1/2".
The maximum face mill is 1".
I went looking for an inexpensive 1" indexable insert cutter with an R8 shank
to fit the spindle of my Cummins mini mill.
I found one!
It came with two uncoated inserts mounted in it.
The coated inserts shown in the pictures were purchased from the same vendor.
Ready for a price?
Would you believe $16.50 from CME Tools eBay Store...
I've bought a lot of tools and inserts from this vendor.
They treat me very well! This order was recieved in three days.
Their shipping costs are a little high in my view, but I have a friend at work who
owns a mini mill identical to mine. I talked him into buying one of these cutters
and we split the shipping costs.
Yes, they are all China imports, but their quality for the price can't be beat!
