I just sent this email to them. Anyone else here find there search hard to use. Agree with my comments??
Looking for a 3/4" carbide end mill with a 4" loc. your "refine by" list lets you pick over all length (OAL) as an option, but not length of cut(LOC).
OAL is a useless seach option, LOC is the info a machinist needs to select an endmill for the job.
The other thing I saw was material choice listed as:
Material Carbide (19) Carbide - Micrograin (15) Cobalt - M-42 (115) HSS (161) Powdered Cobalt - M-42 (8) Powdered Metal - M-42 (4) Solid Carbide (101) Solid Carbide - C-2 (30) Solid Carbide - Micrograin (97) Solid Carbide - Sub-Micrograin (2)
The only thing you need to separate is carbide VS carbide inserts. If the mill does not take replaceable inserts then just list it as solid carbide.
All the M-42's should be together. Maybe after you pick M-42 (cobalt) then you can select regular or powder.
end paste
What do you guys think, am I on target?
I get the impression the guys making the web site have no idea what M-42 is or means.
Thank You, Randy
