Review: Nice endmills but one had an open cavity - Bought 5, 4 worked great. One exploded the second it touched aluminum. -Update as of 04-14-24 I bought 5 of these Sep 13, 2023 and have using them on 6065 aluminum regularly. I have filled about 20 buckets full of shavings since then and other than the one endmill that seems to have been manufactured with an air pocket in it they have been holding up incredibly well. Usually when I toss out an endmill is when the corners start getting rounded after 2-3 plates of aluminum as they can no longer hold tolerances. However, these end mills hold a corner edge for substantially more than 3 plates. I would go as far as to say that they by far the hardest carbide I've bought on desertcart. Although they may not outperform the finish on a $65 Amana 1/4" end mill they do excel in longevity. Despite the steep price I would highly recommend this end mill for roughing operations or when hogging out large amounts of material. Review: Great Bit for a Great Price - Very sharp bits. I'm using these to cut acrylic and they work well. Go to the Kodiak web site to get feeds and speeds. Highly recommend! ## Features - Premium Sub-Micrograin Carbide End Mill Made In the USA - 1/4" Shank Diameter - 3/4" Flute Length (Length of Cut), 30 Degree Helix - 2-1/2" Overall Length Center Cutting Carbide Endmill - 2 Flutes, Single End ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0070YYLHC | | Best Sellers Rank | #179,075 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #207 in Square Nose End Mills | | Brand | Kodiak Cutting Tools | | Cut Type | Center Cutting | | Cutting Diameter | 0.25 Inches | | Cutting Length | 0.75 Inches | | Date First Available | December 3, 2011 | | End Cut Type | Center | | Finish Type | Unfinished | | Item Weight | 0.353 ounces | | Item model number | KODIAK129732 | | Manufacturer | Kodiak Cutting Tools | | Material | Carbide | | Number of Cutting Edges | 2 | | Number of Flutes | 2 | | Product Dimensions | 2.5"L x 0.25"W | | Shape | Square | | Size | 1/4 in | | Tolerance Held | Precision | ## Product Details - **Cutting Diameter:** 0.25 Inches - **Cutting Length:** 0.75 Inches - **Finish Type:** Unfinished - **Material:** Carbide - **Number of Flutes:** 2 ## Images ![Kodiak Cutting Tools KCT129732 USA Made Solid Premium Carbide End Mill, 2 Flute, 1/4" Shank, 3/4" Length of Cut, 2-1/2" Overall Length, 1/4" Diameter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/314MbnNe8XL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice endmills but one had an open cavity *by S***S on October 12, 2023* Bought 5, 4 worked great.
