Ive previously said a mate from round the cnr from me works in a foundry on the real big lathes .He has given me some milling endmills that have a lil bit of damage to the bottoms of them so i tried them with him present on my mini mill .They all 3 bits in all worked ok if i only use the side of them to cut alloys an steel
He also gave me a block of crobalt [spelling may be wrong] so the other week I attacked it with a ultra thin 4inch disc in my grinder so far i have 4 x 3/8 x 3inch long peices Ive still got to cut the other bits .Started other night but ran out of cutting discs about 6 discs to cut 8 peices .
today he came over and gave me these [I think he said carbide] bits but they too big in body for my tool holder
My question is ...can I put the new tools in my mill and knock them down to size ..will it weaken them?
Heres a pict of what he has given me an he said he has some more chunks of crobalt cheers in advance for the answers ..oops sorry bout caps my bad
