    Hi,

    Before I get a company in China to make custom mill ends for carving PIR foam I just thought i'd ask here incase there was someone in UK or Europe who might have a faster turnaround.

    I need R8, R6, R4 radius 4 flute HSS endmills @ 230mm long. One ballend and one flatend in each radius 16mm, 12mm and 8mm. The custom part is that R8 & R6 need to be turned down to fit a 10mm collet.
    6 pieces in total.

    Any links or suggestions most welcome

    The last time I needed a custom part made I used these technical foam services. They helped me to draw up the part properly and prototyped it. See if they can help.

    Might be worth contacting Drill Serice?? (www.drill-service.co.uk) - they did some custom cutters for a friend of mine.

    In China they make and sell very cheap what you need.

    Best will be to make / or buy/ custom shafts on lathe and insert there cheap HSS tools. That's what i do even for wood, long reach. Price wise unbeatable and also you could do that for each job very cheaply.

    230mm 4mm tool is absurd.

    I sourced from D12, D16 mill ends from Rico CNC who I bought from before. I'm not using a 4mm at 230mm anywhere, that would be absurd! My nearest equivalent would be an R1.5 taper ballend on a 200mm long 16mm OD extender, which works just fine.
