Wedge type QCTP

Some of them are made of hardened steel and I ruined a few end mills trying to mill one for someone before I realized what the problem was. Why they would make something from hardened steel that they know needs to be milled by the customer is a mystery to me.

I went through the same thing (well, sort of...) with mine. Except I took them to a local machine shop and had them cut the t-nuts.

But this was before I had a mill, so not much choice. All I know is I got an earful from the owner when I went back to pick them up. "We had a **** of a time cutting these things. They are hard as *^$#*!*#*&!!!!!!!!"

Well.... you're the professional machinist. You should have known that!
