    I have a few of these - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371406148992 - they are cheap and not advertised as anything special. I bought them initially for plastics, but then tried them on Aluminium and found they were great.
    Last week I had some small parts to make in 304 Stainless from 12mm rolled stock and thought "What the heck!", loaded up a single flute (I did re-grind the tip to what I felt should be a slightly more robust form) and it proceeded to carve out my parts seamlessly.
    I used air for cooling and chip clearance plus mist lubrication,
