Roadracer_Al, maybe I am very careful because the end mills I do have I have had for over 25 years but used them in my drill press and I have never broke one. Now they may be pretty dull by now but they still do work especially if I'm not putting a finishing touch on the material. Since I will be mostly working on gun related material, aluminum, polymer, and steel I may need a few different types. Even though I have just started I've already found out that I will need to make some of my own tools for working with the mill. I can see a lot of fun coming my way! :)
