    Question 80 Percent Arms/5D Tactical end mill options?

    The end mills from %d eventually wear out. I have read posts of many folks finding quality end mills from McMaster Carr etc, but none for the router I use yet...the Makita RT0701C.

    Can anyone help?

    Why don't you get them from 5DT? Too cheap?

    5/16th, 3 or 4 flute
    1/4" shank

    2" OAL

    Heat up the 5d piece and the old one slides right out and you slide the new one in.


    I got this one and it cuts like butter

    We started milling on Sunday and the 5D end mill wore out fast. Like too fast. First one cut fine then each subsequent one got worse and worse until we just stopped due to the chatter. We were cutting shallow and keeping it wet. Still noticeably duller only 3 lowers in. Going to try the one you mentioned here. Thanks.
