If you click on the "square end mill" category, under materials comes up "carbide" and "solid carbide". Weird, eh?
The only real diff I noticed is that, beyond the selection under "carbide" being much smaller, is that more of them are coated.

Also inneresting was that some name brands, like Niagara, had stuff as cheap or cheaper than non-brand names. But no dert-cheap imports, from what I could fid.
