« on: June 06, 2011, 02:19:28 PM »
Hi,

The roughing end mills from Richontools  are they Coarse or Fine, does not seem to say on their web site.

As anyone purchased any?

Jason,

Thank you - but is it a fine or coarse. :thumbup:

Because even from your photo I'm not sure.

And I don't have any to compare :(

Looks course to me or maybe medium if there is such a thing.

On that diameter i have some premium brand names with course similar if not courser. Also some fine that look like a 1 to 1.25mm pitch tap.

Jonny,

So you are going with coarse. They do look coarse to me but not having any to judge makes it a bit of  a guess.

Thanks Jonny :thumbup:
