Accusize Industrial Tools 2'' Diameter by 6-1/8'' Oal 90 Degree R8 Shank Indexable End Mill with 5 Apkt1604 Carbide Inserts, 0028-6906

Exceptional quality in all aspects. The design is excellent with a great, useable profile. The use of end mills over 1” in diameter are sketchy in an R8 collet. This design ensures a stable, short, rigid and strong interface between the milling head and the tool. The materials and finish are excellent and surprisingly well done considering the low price. The suppled inserts are also of surprisingly high quality. I used this cutter/end mill right out of the box to modify a snap-on tools hardened tool steel socket. I ran at 1600 rmp and took .040”-.060” passes. This cutter went through the tool steel like it was aluminum. The height of the inserts relative to each other is right on as well, so I’m not sure why other reviewers had issues. This tool is for milling/hogging and boring and isn’t ideal for fly-cutting so maybe people have unrealistic expectations with regard to surface finish. If you want a really nice finish, no end mill can compete with a fly cutter and shouldn’t be expected to perform the same. This is an excellent tool at a ridiculously low price…

Very impressed! The carbide bits were already attached, so I installed it and started cutting. I've always wanted one of these, but most are just to expensive, this one wasn't. It looks and feels well machined and HEAVY! Very well made. I already ordered a 10 pack of bits for the future. I can't sharpen a standard end mill bit, so essentially, they are throw away, always hated that.

I'm a hobbyist and got this mill to speed up facing ops. I had read the reviews and knew that some folks have had issues with inserts seating at inconsistent heights, but I thought I'd take my chances. On mine, one insert is about 1.5 thou high, the rest seemed pretty even.The included TiN-coated inserts did a respectable job on some mild steel, about as good as I've gotten with a fly cutter (I suck at grinding fly cutter tool bits). The inserts were *way* over-tightened from the factory; I stripped out one of my Torx wrenches trying to free them. Not really a big deal, those wrenches are a dime a dozen.I tried some YG-1 TiAlN-coated inserts and...wow. I got the best machined finish I've ever seen on steel of any kind. Again, that was with mild steel--not the best material if you want a good finish. It's almost like glass. I know that this face mill could do better, but my milling machine has hit its limit.

La calidad de la herramienta y la rapidez de entrega

Use this on my mini lathe. Well balanced and smooth cutting.

The media could not be loaded.  I ordered this 3" face mill because the tool I had was not working and I was in a tight spot. To be honest I had low expectations. If it got the job done halfway decently I would be satisfied at that price point.I was dead wrong. This face mill IS AMAZING. I took heavy passes at 1000 RPM and it didn't slow down a bit. The finish was amazing and the tool quality is top notch. Thank you for a quality product.

Not a high precision tool. Cutters are all off .001" from each other. But good enough for roughing.

Very high quality great surface finish highly recommend for a mini mill

Facemill comes with inserts already installed. No wrench to change them or an extra screws. Just six inserts and facemill on a R8 collet.

Excelente herramienta, facilita mucho el trabajo

only cut aluminum with it so far . worked good

The quality of the tool is good. But note that the inserts are not for aluminum or soft metal. They are for steel. If you want to mill aluminum you will need to order a different insert.

The media could not be loaded.  Vraiment cool très bonne achat
