Where to get a small radius cutting end mill?

Why do you want a radius cutter for a CNC mill? You can program it to produce any form you want using an end mill or ball mill -that's the point of having a CNC mill.

Kevin, I think he means the corner rounding cutters.

Have you tried the J&L Industrial website now - its gone from "rubbish" to very good recently.

I dont think you will find a radius cutter to fit the collets you have, I us a 1mm rad cutter on the odd job at work and from memory they have an 8mm (5/16") shaft.

sorry to be the beared of bad news

Have you thought of using 1/4 shank Tugsten Carbide high speed router cutters,normally used for wood or plastics,but can,with care,be used on aluminum,copper,or brass,have not tried them on iron or steel. There is a selection of radius cutters available in the range. All the best for now, John.

I have used router cutters in my mill with good effect. I see that ALDI are selling 12 TCT cutters for £4.99 from the 30th of September. So at that price it would be worth a try.

Are Lidl and ALDI the same?

p.s. It's much easier to follow the conversation if your replies are below the relevant part of message you are responding to.

I didn't know I suffered from reading dyslexia until tonight! I dont know where my head was but I must have transposed the letters in my head somehow.

Point taken about reply format
