Accusize Industrial Tools 3/4'' 90 Deg Square Shoulder Indexable End Mill, 3-1/2'' Overall Length, Apkt11t3 Carbide Inserts, 3 Flute, 0056-0917

Item works awesome for face milling. But does not drill mill or side mill anything more than I would say 1/8".. but It is a cheap alternative to use because of cheap replacement carbide inserts for it. Would highly recommend.

I bought the 1/2" and 3/4" end mills as well as ordered (separately) the aluminum geometry inserts. I was a bit skeptical that they would be very good, but after many hours of dry cutting aluminum, the results have been fantastic. I would guesstimate that the first set of insert cutting edges on my 3/4" tool have seen perhaps 15 hours of actual cutting time in both 7075 and 6061 aluminum and are still going. I run the 3/4" tool at 12,000 RPMs, 2000 mm/min feed rate with a depth of cut at around 3-4mm. The chips come off in a rooster tail with a very good finish quality for a rough cut. In my experience, whether on a lathe or a mill, insert tooling does not tolerate cutting light cuts or slow speeds very well. The lighter the pass, the rougher the surface in many cases. These insert tools do a great job of removing material quickly with a reasonably good surface finish resulting, but if you want a great surface finish, they should be followed up with a good carbide endmill. For aluminum, I like the YG Alu-power 3 flute bits for that.

This is an awesome little indexable in Mill. You get all the performance of solid carbide, with less than the price of high-speed steel. You just can't go wrong with this tool for its intended application. I use this as one of my go-to cutters at Wheat State welding LLC in Derby Kansas. I don't have to worry about scrapping the $300 solid carbide in Mill, when I can load this thing up and make chips for days.the only thing to keep in mind, is you don't have a lot of depth of cut, and this is not a center cutting product.

I wanted a end mill with inserts and this was in my price range, so far this has been working awsome, cuts are clean, I have used it on 4140 and 1144, also the shipping was on time👍

An excellent cutter and functions well on a low power machine. I really like the positive rake inserts. I have not had to change any inserts so I cannot comment on the life of the inserts in terms of the amout of metal removed. I have not done a lot of work in steel, however the original inserts are still in good condition.

Beware! The main holding part of this cutter is very soft metal, appears it was NEVER hardened and then tempered. When you go to actually use this tool it dies not have the strength in the steel to take the cutting behavior and then simply snaps off, not worth the grief

For the price, it’s a pretty decent tool. Works great with aluminum. Test cut at .125 DoC, 40% stepover, 750SFM.... chatter city on steel though if you try to run it any feed worth waiting around for. Better inserts might help with that though. I have quite a few other Accusize indexables with 2-3 flutes that do great in both mild and stainless though. Lost a star because the shank was a little undersize so it was not having a fun time in a set screw holder. Plopped it into a collet and everything was hunky-dorey

Good cutting tool for the cnc milling machine. And really good price thank you. highly recommend I will buy more items from same brand

The cutter is excellent, the tips run true and are lasting a long time. Highly recommended

Works great

tool is awesome but there should also be the option to get the inserts & at least 4 extra screws to hold the inserts. the only reason for this is screws are tiny & easily lost!! not yet but i know soon!! small ha ha!!

La coupe est très rapide très beau fini Peu de vibration sur petite milling PDM 30 Je suis très satisfait merci beaucoup

The cutter came in on time but when I had ordered the cutter the shortened description said that it took apkt1003 inserts but when I got the cutter it said on the shank it takes apkt11t308 inserts and in the full description at the very bottom it does list that (so next time read the full description) So I ordered the apkt11t308 inserts and they don't fit they are too wide as are apkt1003 inserts
