Ripper end mills
John Rudd:
Well just tried an 8mm one on some 1/4" bms plate ........
Wow! Impressed at the speed it can cut...initial doc was about .1" next cut full depth of plate.....hmmm...mebbe a bit much.. Reduce the doc to about 1/8.... Still ok.....
Looks the biz... Just need finishing with a standard end mill...but otherwise they're great....even though I have the full metric set of Rippers, think I need some more..,, :dremel:
Can never have enough tools :lol:
SwarfnStuff:
Ah Mr. Rudd, you sound like my son who is into woodworking as a hobby. He states, "You can never have too many clamps" and judging by the number he uses on some jobs I reckon it may be true.
My problem is with the tools breeding is space to store the things as my workshop is miniscule. Oh well, I just try and choreograph my moves between stuff and pretend I am going to clean up at the end of each task before starting the next. Doesn't always work somehow - too eager to get the next bit done. :Doh:

Not used them much but I have a couple of rippers, both of them about 5/8" or 3/4" As they're used to remove large amounts of material what's the point of making thin ones like 10mm? Surely being ridgid is of primary importance?

I almost exclusively use 6mm rippas - the rippa because it's material removal rate is unparalleled; the size because I don't like waste.

Sorry can you explain, I'm missing something.
