Jack,
If you don't yet have a lead angle face mill (a true face mill), it's something you might want to put on the wish list. I can keep my eyes open for a deal for you. In fact, I know I might be able to get my hands on two similar cutters, though they are metric. The bores are 16 and 22 millimeter, cutter diameters 50 and 63. The commercial shop that has them got them as part of a tooling package with a new German made machine, and the inserts they got with the cutters are the steel & cast iron grade WKP35S. Since the shop machines 95% aluminum and they loathe metric tools, they haven't touched those cutters.
It's not terribly hard to find R8 metric shell mill arbors, though good quality ones like that are fairly scarce over here. I should probably try to get my hands on those two cutters (they also have a 40mm F4042 shoulder mill.)
