Great news for discount cutting tool shoppers!
We have a fantanstic new load of additions to our
closeout and overstock section, with blowout prices on discontinued items. The carbide or high speed steel these closeout tools are made from is premium grade material, and the tools are brand new in the original packaging. The only reason we are letting these tools go at such a discount, is that we have made some changes to a series of tools, or in some cases taken them out of our standard offering of cutting tools.
These premium high speed steel or
solid carbide cutting tools cut just as well the rest of the tools on our site, so don't miss this opportunity to take advantage of these huge savings, while we have them available.
Here is what you will find:

High quality wooden tubes are also made in the USA!
This is an exciting opportunity for those of you looking for some high quality USA made cutting tools and a fantastic price!
We have discontinued these items from our catalog, but they are as good as ever. We have the following types of items available:
-2 flute carbide end mills with a corner radius (uncoated and ALTiN)
-all varieties of high speed steel end mills (2,4 & 6 flute, single & double end, uncoated & ALTiN)
-very small carbide straight flute drills (uncoated and ALTiN)
-bell style center drills (combined drill & countersinks)
-drill drifts & screw extractors
If you can find a way to use these tools the pricing is excellent. We have a lot of large diameter 2 flute carbide and mills that could be used for roughing applications for example. We will also be adding more closeout items soon.
We are happy to announce new shipping programs designed to make doing business with www.kodiakcuttingtools.com easier than ever!
Now for orders over $40 you have the option of free 3-7 day economy shipping. Unlike our 1-2 day shipping program (which is free over $100) the economy shipping does not always ship the same day. The packages usually ship through the United States Post Office, but require an additional 1-2 days for handling.
So if you are in a hurry for your carbide end mills, taps and other cutting tools, you may still want to use the 1-2 day shipping service, but if you have planned ahead a bit you can sure save a lot on freight charges with our new economy shipping program.
A customer was looking for an end mil to try on plastics. Plastics come is a wide variety of compositions and hardness, therefore a lot depends on the type of plastic being machined. Here is our advice to get started:
All of our end mills are
designed primarily for metals, but many people use them on plastics, composites
and hardwoods as well. I would start with the basic four flute end mills. If
you have trouble with chip clearance/chip evacuation, you might have to look at
a 2 flute, however, you will get a better finish with the four flute. We have
some customers that have used the end mills for aluminum in harder plastics.
These tools for aluminum have a higher helix angle and more room between the
flutes for chip evacuation. Because the core does not have to be as large and
strong as for other metals, we can grind these deeper for better chip removal.
The aluminum cutting are a high-performance tool that cost a lot more than the
regular end mills though, so you have to take that into account.
Although you may see some
benefit from a coating, I don't think it would justify the expense, so I would
stick with the uncoated tools. Most people cutting plastic seem to be using
uncoated tools. I don't think you see much benefit from the coatings until you
reach higher temperatures, like 900-2200 degrees F.
So here are some links to
some basic ones to consider. Other variables are length, ball end and corner
radius, in addition to the regular length square end end mills that I have linked to
here.
Just let me know if we
can be of any further assistance.

A customer was trying to decide whether to use a 2-flute or 4-flute carbide end mill for his job on aluminum. One important question before spending the extra money for a high-performance tool, is how many parts are you making?
I think one you
might look at is our part number 136475. This is 1/4" x 4" long with
a 1" length of cut. The number of flutes is a trade-off between better
finish and better chip evacuation. Sometimes with softer grades of aluminum the
flutes could get clogged up, but as long as that is not an issue for you a 4
flute will give you a better finish and do more work per rotation of the tool. I
think a lot of people are using this tool for doing a similar application. There
is also a popular one with the gunsmiths that is specifically for aluminum. The
part number is 150104 (150027 for uncoated). This is a high-performance tool
that is capable of doing long production runs and much high speeds & feeds
than the standard tool, but if you are not doing a large quantity it would
probably be more than you need. The high performance ones have 3 flutes, a
deeper clearance between the flutes for better chip evacuation and an optional
ZrN coating specifically for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. The
high-performance also has a 45 degree helix instead of the standard 30 degree.
This provides a better finish due to a shearing action of the flutes and also helps
get the chips up and out. The main reason carbide end mills fail is when the
re-cut a chip from the previous machining, so the chip evacuation is important,
but if you are doing a smaller quantity you can try to use air of fluids to
keep the cutting area clear from chips.
