Where I can get Inserts for this Indexable Mill
#15
Start with:

What kind of milling is it you wish to do, face milling or shoulder milling? Or, both? You can face mill with a shoulder mill but the width of cut would be less because they use more spindle power. A true face mill would have a lead angle (45º most common) and that thins the chips, allowing higher material removal rates per HP.

What materials will you be cutting? If "all" materials, you need a general purpose grade. If mostly steels, a tough grade with a honed edge is best. If mostly aluminum, a hard grade with sharp edges.

When shopping on eBay I again encourage you to ping me with the link so I can tell you if inserts are available and how much they might cost. There's a LOT of obsolete cutters on eBay that aren't worth $2 if you can't get inserts. Others may be discontinued though there's a lot of inserts around. The thing about indexable insert milling cutters is that very few use "standard" inserts, and those that do generally don't work well. I have cutters with inserts which have plowed through many different applications and get indexed once or twice a year. Quality tools don't cost, they PAY.

Let me help you.
