I tried those a few years ago and they lasted both minutes ... so I guess you did better than me. The larger ones are not so bad though.
Personally I'd recommend single flute carbide cutters from aliexpress/eBay. The price is similar, they have more room for the chips and are stronger as purely carbide.

Thanks Jonathan. Are you aware of any straight flute 3mm (or 1/8") solid carbide that have a 6mm shank? I need to extend them out the collet a bit to clear the dust shoe. It's asking a bit much of a 3mm shank.
Actually I think cutwell might have some so I'll pop over there for a look.Last edited by Tenson; 14-09-2015 at 09:24 PM.

I just bought another 9 of them. If you want a straight flute 3mm cutter with a 6mm shank I'm not sure there are many alternatives.
There are some similar ones on eBay with a shorter cutter length (7mm) which might last longer if you don't need a greater DOC.Last edited by Tenson; 22-09-2015 at 11:28 PM.
