Hello All.

New to the world of model engineering so apologies in advance for any silly questions that I ask.

Looking to buy a new face mill together with an Mt3 arbor, anyone have any favourites suppliers they could maybe recommend ?

thanks.

Hi Brian,

you don't say what diameter you want, I assume you want one with carbide inserts. I have a 32mm Glanze from Chronos, that has worked well. You can get larger diameters if you want.

Thanks for the reply, was looking into maybe a Ø50mm with a seperate Ø22mm arbor, but will look into the range that you have suggested, worried about buying rubbish i guess.

thanks again

The Glanze ones are quite tough ! I used mine to machine out stainless steel and it did the job well – they’re certainly not rubbish !
