I can recommend McMaster-Carr. Very nice end mills.  Smiley-gen163
They carry the Niagara Cutter brand of end mills.

Toolmex sells Polish made HSS endmills, which I've been happy with.

I have beeen purchasing the tooling from several high quality manufacturers who sadly have gone out of business.  It is a shame how our manufacturing base is eroding away..Over the past three years I have accumulated over 600K end mills, that's right 600,000.  I have about an even mix of used and new and before any one asks, there is no list and there never will be a list.  If you are serious about buying a quantity of end mills I sell these for about 30% of what the normal tool houses charge.
If you are interested send a reply with what you are looking for and I will try to get back to you.  Keep in mind I am 74 and don't get around as good as I used to---Imagine that. Smile
