re: <a href="http://littlemachineshop.com">littlemachineshop.com</a>, I may have missed the carbide section, do they have them? I saw just HSS (High Speed Steel).<br><br>McMaster, of course, is a well stocked source. <a href="http://www.mcmaster.com/#carbide-end-mills">http://www.mcmaster.com/#carbide-end-mills</a><br>
When choosing end mills for this CNC machine, pay attention to the shank size, it should match the mill's available collet sizes.<br><br>(Please add collet sizes to the wiki.)<br><br>-<br>DYao<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>i'd kick in for some ones for experimenting w/. (ie, i'd expect some<br>
breakage/dulling since i've no experience w/ anything other than manual<br>
feed systems).<br>
