Have purchased some carbide inserts and other components from BangGood, items were despatched from Thailand, I was under the impression from the posting on the site that they were coming from China, so you never know where your merchandise is going to be despatched from, despite what is listed on the internet.

Parts of Myanmar are virtually Chinese colonies these days, particularly in the border regions. Some interesting stuff going on over there.

I get all my milling cutters cheap cheap from China and have not had a bad one yet. I figure their factories are not churning out most of the world's consumer goods using junk quality cutters that hold up production by needing to be replaced too often. What works and lasts well in their highspeed production/toolmaking environment is more than up to the task in a home workshop, as far as I have seen so far.

If they cut ok then they certainly are a bargain, the only cheap cutting tools I took a chance with is a set of countersink bits and they are ok. I am a bit cautious though when it comes to end mills/slot drills but if people are finding them to be good then why not.

But how cheap can you go..? On you know where there is a set of 8 HSS 4 flute end mills 2,3,4,5,6,8,10 and 12mm for £8, so £1 per tool including a 10 and 12mm..? I can only imagine that they must be rubbish but are they..? No, I,m not going to spend £8 to find out.
