Hello,
I'm running out of my stock of russian D 20-23 mm MT3 HSS end mills.
I have a DIN collet chuck for 16, 20, and 25 mm plain shanks. I could get a weldon shank holder, but I rather not (the dog recess is a bit unorhodox on my milling machine, I have to mill down new arbors, almost allways).
I see a lot of tools up to 12 mm shank. Larger ones are usually carbide tipped and rather specialized. I like HSS and because rpm of the old milling machine is somewhat limited, I like multiple flute design.
I would love to buy from EU, that would avaoid customs hassles (they hit like a hawk anything that looks over 40€ and then demand ransom, forwarding, customs and tax over everything).
Thus wish list:
* slot drills and end mills of 16-20mm plain shank
* HSS, end mills with multiple flutes
* Mostly for aluminimum and normal steel
* Decent quality, not the worst of the worst of the worst
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Pekka
