Here is a 5/8" Valenite CenterDex Drill/mill. This is one of the centre cutting ones:

I don't understand why that tool is listed with 5/8" anywhere in the description! It's a 1/2" shank, and the diameter hole it would make in plunging is .480" if spinning on center.

That's the smallest they make, though a shorter one is available. I have one of the shorter ones. In owning it for a few years, I've still not gotten around to buying the hard-to-find SECW21.21 size insert or it.

OTOH, I have a 1" cut 2-insert version that gets a fair amount of use and takes easier to find SD322P (SPEB/SPGH 090308) inserts. Tools is S-VMSP 100R 90CCC.

Good to know the inserts are rare. Perhaps that is why it is so cheap.

I'm happy with my S-VMSP 100R 90CCC but saw the one I listed when searching for something else and thought it may be a good buy form someone else. I guess that is not the case.

Don't be tempted! If you want one I can get you one for $40 + shipping. New in box. A friend of mine retired out of 26+ years with Valenite and has at least a dozen of those same cutters available. No inserts, but they are new and have the Torx wrench.

I'm definitely interested. Let me know what the total cost is and I'll take one. Worthy

Thanks,

He also has even more of the 2-insert 45º chamfering tools. They are S-VMSP 138R 45CF. They take the same inserts as the S-VMSP 100R 90CCC, and because they also have a 3/4" shank some people use them as a mini "face mill." 

Same deal. $40 + shipping.

I'm definitely interested. My Mum will be in the US in a couple of weeks, I'll find out the address of her friend. I think it is somewhere in PA.
