Hi everyone,
just wanting a bit of advice, I know generally carbide is the go to choice for cutters, but I'm looking at a 6mm 4 flute end mill made of HSS and TiN coated, I'm wanting to mill through a couple of types of hardwood, not actually much intensive milling involved, it only comes to about 10,000mm of cutting total, plus a good few drill holes for some dowels.
I down one of these cutters and I've got to say it seems to be doing fine even though I've used it a reasonable amount, should I pick the cheap HSS or the pricier carbide?
Thanks for any advice or reassurance!
