Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this end mill in my drill press? A: No, drill press chucks and spindles are not designed to handle the lateral side-loads generated during milling; this must be used in a proper milling machine.
Q: What materials can this cobalt mill cut? A: The 8% cobalt formulation provides high wear resistance, making it suitable for cutting steel, iron, and various non-ferrous materials.
