Accusize Industrial Tools 2' Carbide Indexable End Mill, R8 Shank, with 3 Pc Tpg 322 Inserts, 0046-0916

los insertos son TPG222 no TPG32. excelente herramienta.

This has become my main roughing end mill. Very effective and much cheaper in the long run than regular end mills of this size. The inserts are very durable.

Exceptional finish and insert quality so far, only cut aluminum but easy to use, already torqued inserts, seems well built for a Chinese tool. Few Chinese tools are actually good, while most are poor quality, but higher priced Chinese tools can be good quality. In this case it seems to be well made and good quality materials. Will update if anything changes. 3 inch diameter cutter is a bit aggressive for an old but well cared for and rebuilt spindle, so take light cuts. I'll likely get a 2-inch facing mill to see if that reduces the head noise under load.

I bought the 2" end mill this to use on my 3/4HP manual import mill (Craftex CX600). This is my first use of insert tooling on a small mill and I am impressed. It left a very smooth, clean surface on steel at different RPMs (600 to 900) and different feed rates. Squaring up a 4x1x0.5" bar of cold rolled steel was quick. The inserts show no sign of wear. I also ordered a set of 10 replacement inserts and the size specified in the tool description is correct. Now I want to make some holders for the same inserts so I can use them on my lathe. This is not a sponsored review. I'm just a guy who makes stuff in his basement. Stay safe ;)

Sure, its made in China, but it is well made and works great. I have a bunch of fly cutters and they work great too, but this is just so simple to use its now my go to facing tool. Inserts are pretty hardy and they can be bought by the 10 pack at really good prices. Other than where its made, I have nothing negative to post about it. Would buy another....probably a 3" one next time.
