Arc’s 25mm indexable end mills…

I must have bought the last one of the above from Arc as all details have now been removed from their site. Unfortunately I forgot to note the carbide tip designations that fit to these. Does anyone know what they are please?

I “think” it is    APKT 1604 PDFR   for Aluminium, and good for cast & steel for we hobbiests.

Someone else will hopefully confirm.

If Arc Euro can no longer sup[ply, JB Cutting Tools have taken a lot of the cutting tools from Syston

I’ve got one ordered too so good info as I didn’t note it down either! Just seemed too cheap to pass it by!

are these best used for finishing passes more like a fly cutter or removing mass material?

A lot will depend on the power and rigidity of the machine you are running them in.

If a benchtop hobby machine then best run fast and take shallower 1mm – 0.5mm cuts. Though they can also side cut.
