Finally got my new mill up and running and now I need to obtain some end mills. My only problem is after searching on the internet there are a few choices to make that I have no idea what I need. As for sizes to start off with I think I'll only need a basic 6 piece set then I can add on later as I need them. Material I will be milling most likely will be aluminum and steel, and maybe some plastic.
Right now I am trying to take of a rear sight on a 1938 Mosin Nagant rifle which has the pins soldered in plus most likely 80 years of rust. Anyway, what type of end mills should I be looking for, HSS, 2 flute, 4 flute and any other spec I'm missing?
BTW, I am using R8 collets.
