Hi

I`m considering buying a indexable end mill and Arc Euro seem to have
some at good prices. I`m interested in the R8 1 3/4" but I notice
that the spare inserts have been out of stock for a while and I was
wondering if there is a commercial equivalent which is commom enough
to be available from local stockists?

Thanks for looking

Paul

Not certain on this info but from the table there is very little
difference between the #5 at 15mm, the #6 at 15.4mm and the very
popular #7 at 16mm.
I'd take a chance on the #6 or #7 fitting and if they do then you are
open up to using the very popular TPUN series of tips that can be
bought quite cheaply.

It's not hard to find these TiN coated at £1:00 each.

Thanks John

Looking to sort a Arc euro order this weekend so I think I will go
with the 1 3/4 Mill.

Cheers

Paul

Oops - forgot to ask if the TPUN refers to the size of the insert or
is it just a range of inserts and you need to check the specs for size
etc.?

Thanks again

Paul

I Have placed my order and decided to go for the 2" cutter.

I will get some local prices for the tips.

Cheers
