uxcell 5PCS 1/8" Shank 1.5mm x 12mm Carbide End Mill CNC Router Bits 2 Flute Milling Bit for Acrylic PVC MDF Wood

I always enjoy giving it retailer a positive review when it is merited. However I’m afraid that I have to do otherwise in this case.Normally a quality forged and ground carbide end mill, so I found it surprising that these wouldn’t handle the most gentle of cutting speeds (280mm/min), and such a shallow and forgiving depth of cut (0.0375mm). I now am in the process of returning them.

These things are terrible! I ordered 10 of these as spares to finish a project because I knew I could get them quickly with Prime. Each one only lasted about 3 ft of cutting at. 001 doc at 20ipm at 18000rpm. I pulled out my last good version of the same thing (from Carbide Tool Source) and it finished all of my parts (over 180ft of cut) with no issues. This is one of those cases where you don't even get what you pay for. Save your money and buy the good stuff.

I use these to cut letters into wood. Works ok if you take small incremental cuts, will eventually dull but works fine if you don't cut too deep. I use 0.006 inches per cut at 10 inches or less per minute.

I have some incredibly expensive end mills that I typically use for hardwoods, I'm not a fan of dulling out those $30 / end mill tools on things like "hardboard" or MDF - hence the $2.60 option. These have lasted a couple jobs per end mill using really conservative feeds and speeds ( 30 IPM, .65 mm depth per pass) and I can't complain. Don't buy these expecting them to last as long as your "Spektra" coated tools - expect them to be in the VALUE of $6.00 / tool for $2.60 each.

3 of 5 broke on the 2 pass. I was only doing 1/16" deep but did 5 passes then tried 8 passes on the 3rd bit , and used ramp to take the stress off the bit, all 3 went about 1/4 of the way into the first pass after the ramp and then snapped. I won't be buying more.

These bits are well worth the money. I have only used them on MDF and i am extremely pleased on how clean of a cut they give.Will purchase again.

End mills performed reasonably for price, nothing outstanding but within satisfactory results. Much sharper than other low cost end mills.

So far have only used on White Pine for projects, however, for the price I've been able to run this bit at faster than expected feed rates. Still haven't found the limit for how high of a feed rate I can reach before the bit either burns out or breaks.Truly recommend!!!

I bought this pack of 5 and after a few weeks of use, I still have 5. This is rare as these small bits normally break easily when routing hardwoods but I've had no issues on maple or oak.

I am using these bits to cut through 3mm HDF. This eats through them with ease and leaves a clean finish. Cant recommend enough.

Gives a good clean cut, used on a CNC system.

These are not 1.5mm diameter.They measure at 1.4mm on digital gauges.If this isn’t a problem for you then they seem fine to work with but if you need precision... these are not great.

Useless bits and No way to pay £3.99 for return!
