I machine mainly ally and steel
I get them from eBay ex China
Price is excellent quality so far has been good
May be not up to English / German quality hug at a significantly better price point
Bear in mind the rears she’s when you break a £3 end mill is much less than when you break a £20 end mill
Once you are up the learning curve and seldom break cutters then the more expensive cutters maybe start to make sense
I’m not sure if the same holds true for wood machining but it seems sensible to me
I’ve had cutters delivered ex eBay in 3 days which suggests they are coming from the UK even though they originated in China
Even direct from China is sometimes as low as 7 days but then again can be 8weeks so a lottery so to speak
