If it works for you and inserts are dirt cheap...go right ahead.
Anyone got a link to the maker of those? I don't think it's a good idea to screw down an insert that's got a straight hole, that's why screw-down inserts have a countersunk hole. Far more secure.
That says it all !!!
I don't think these Cutters would be worth the trouble even if the Inserts are "dirt cheap".
Learnt our lesson Years ago when we tried converting a wooden Bandsaw into Metal Cutting. Was just not the same even with a Gear-driven Motor et al !!!
Thanks for the heads up.
However, would be nice to have had Your ideas on what's a good small sized 2-Insert Face Mill !!!
Kind regards
