Chinese tooling

[Boyan Silyavski]

Hi,

I have been there.
I have used some Chinese tooling before 2 years when i started. At the same time i bought some USA made bits.
The Chinese were crap. Worked but not as good. Broke 3 times more/my machine is flimsy/. Cost just a bit less. Not so sharp, not so polished.

My advice is visit ebay, find Drillman1 shop and at the prices he sells Kyocera bits, forget about Chinese. http://www.ebay.es/itm/3-00mm-1181-C...item58b63b6edf

I have all my set up using mainly Kyocera bits. i doubt that anything better can be found even at similar price. These are strong, super sharp, durable, nicely polished bits.

Yeah, better that Freud, Bosch, CMT, that cost 4-5 times more.

Now i would test other bits only if they are something i need and could not find there. But 3mm, 6mm, V bits and so i buy from there.


Hope that helps.
