Ripper end mills
John Rudd:
So are they any better for roughing out ?
Do they cut faster/remove more metal?
Opinions please.....
AdeV:
Definitely - rippers are absolutely brilliant at hogging out material, you can push them MUCH harder than regular end mills.
John Rudd:
Ah....good answer....looks like I need to spend some hard earned and get me a set in time for making my tool post :dremel:
So a good source from where to buy these then? Any recommendations? Or avoid?
Cheers Ade...
AdeV:
I've always got my (brand new) rippers from a seller on ebay called cncpoorboy. aka Steve, based somewhere in Oldham.

Rippers are a good roughing tool the "knuckles" break down the tooth load,ideal for hard materials like weld,but are equally as good on most materials.I wouldn,t neccesarly say faster than an emill but take a much deeper cut,run them on recommended speeds and you will find thats not fast or you will burn the tool out remember its not speed that gets the job done quicker its feed and doc,Also a similar tool a "hyfeed" cutter similar to a ripper but the "knuckles" are finer just the same as a ripper but dont leave a ridge leaves a commercially accepted finish one of each is handy arnt that expensive and if you look after them eg:-not too many revs-they will last a long time abuse them and they will not-can pick them up cheap on ebay,but with postage is it worth it?
