sisona 1/8 3/16 1/4 5/16 3/8 Carbide End Mills Set - Solid Carbide (Tungsten Carbide + Cobalt) - 5Pcs 4 Fulte CNC Mill Bits for Steel - TISIN Coated

Tested the 5/8” cutter in hot rolled steel, was able to do a full width cut at 2mm depth with a feed rate of 480mm/m on my CNC converted HF mini mill. Surface finish was excellent given the rigidity (or relative absence!) and I was very pleased with the speeds I was able to achieve - quite aggressive for me but felt I should put the cutter through much more than I ordinarily would for the purposes of this review. These cutters are definitely on my must buy list. Ran it dry and did four faces on two 1/2” x 3/4” x 4” pieces. Photos show finish from roughing operation and the blue chips it produced with no sign of cutter deterioration after removing a total of 1/4” over a length of 16”!

I get it these are specialized tools. Not everyone has a milling machine. Well, I know someone that does and I have some parts that will need milling. Since I know I want him to do it as a friend, I figured this would be a nice trade. These are Tungsten Carbide and cobalt. We will be cutting a steel hitch that is 2.5” and needs to be milled to 2.0”. While we have not used them yet I am told that this is a good set and exactly what is needed to do the job. As far as price goes, I am no expert on these. I see prices for way less to way more. Once I see them cut the value will be in did they work as expected. When I have time to go over and he has time to mill, I will update my review. For now, not having much to go on except my friend the expert’s word I think this is a good set and recommend them.

If you are looking for cutters that do not break the bank, these are an excellent option. The size range works well for most household tasks and the materials and finish are both great. You cannot go wrong with carbide so long as the coating and your material are compatible so if you are looking for a range of cutters, this is a great option to consider.

I have been needing to elongate the slot on this bracket so figured would give these a try. I chucked one of them up and went to it. I was not slow or gentle on it ether. I only made two cuts and it loved it. No complaints from it at all and with no lube either. I wanted to see just how well it would do when rushed and did just fine. Kindof surprised for a no namer. I know that will need to run for much longer to determine its true lifespan but for the price I cannot complain. I have a budget and cannot always get the best out there and these fit the bill. Hope this helps and thanks..

This is for the Sisona carbide end milling bits. These really do a great job cutting thru steel, both mild and stainless. Does a great job on aluminum too. These 4 flute end mills will need their own collets, each bit has a different diameter, so youll need 5 collets. But if youre buying carbide end mills, chances are you already have the collets. I like that each end mill has their own labeled plastic box. Makes it easier to find on the drawer holding my end mills. These held their sharpness over the few cuts I made so far. Ill update this if anything changes.
