End Mills

[riche543]

Hi guys
Does anyone know of any suppliers of 1/16 2 flute end mills in australia.
At the moment im getting them from here http://stores.ebay.com.au/CARBIDE-PLUS?_trksid=p4340.l2563 This guy is very good , & very happy with service & prices. Im just asking as a backup just incase this ebay store happens to drop off the radar ( Always plan ahead ;) )
Cheers.

The last time I ordered from Virt Village the bits were totally innappropriate for the job, but it may have been me.

Rich, which ones do you order through that shop?

Thanks Rich, what machine do you have in your CNC, They look too small for my router

Hi Dave
I built my own cnc, I'm using an ozito router/ trimmer which is 1/4 collet
I use 1/8-1/4 bushing for the end mills, found a place in Sydney that sells them, at work at the mo, but if your interested in those bushings I can give you the link later
Cheers

Rich that would be excellent as I am having the same problem.
I have been using a tapered point bit which doesnt leave a nice font cutout
cheers

Heres the link to the bushing/collet its item number JL-271, If you do decide to order some might be good idea to phone them as its a massive store that sells all weired & wonderful things, (make sure it is in stock) Ive never ordered online though them , just gone to shop direct , but a fair trek for me to go. Ive found i am able to cut the bushings in half with a hacksaw so you can use 1 for 2 end mills also allows you to insert end mill further into router , so less chance of runout/wobble. http://www.mcjing.com.au/searchresult.aspx?keyword=collet&page=2 on a side note the other place i mentioned in usa ebay. I ordered some more 1/16 bits yesterday & they were posted last night UPS so service with him is very good, hope all this helps.
Good Luck
Rich.:)

The links can take us the un-usual place which is too much time consuming, if we face the same problem then what cab I do?
