Your cart is empty.Drill America DWCF series end mill is designed to machine most materials of medium hardness such as steel, brass, bronze and iron. The large core diameter provides rigidity and reduces deflection while the cutting geometry allows for rapid stock removal. It can be used for general- purpose milling including profiling and open-ended slots and keyways. It will not plunge cut.

Have been using end mills for many years. This one is the worst I have ever tried. Jams and breaks on very easy cut.

At the lower price range anything can happen. This mill is a delight.

Need a get a few cheap HSS endmills so decided to give Drill America a chance. They weren't the most expensive nor the cheapest HSSAL commonly sold in sets. Turns out it kind of game of chance in what you get. I bought a couple in different sizes in two different orders, and what I found was that I got a few of one brand and few in another. I will focus on the 1/2" since they were sold under the same item listing. The ones with the black case had a different tag on the case, sometimes they were hidden and I had to get a heat gun to get the Drill America label off. So after looking up the part number I found that they were for a part number for the "Interstate" brand. An value brand sold on MSC. Had some decent luck with Interstate in the past so not bad for a cheap double ended end mill. Now they aren't' the best by far but they do decent work for an import. MSC currently sell them for 50 bucks. no way I would pay that price, but for about 15ish that I paid not bad for a new double ended. The shank also has MHC marking. Which I believe is the end mills parent manufacture, Not really sure on that. But quick lookup show several interstate branded end mills also have that MHC branding on the shank. So I believe these to genuine. The clear case ones have no marking other than the size and China on the shank. The case has no other labels to mark another manufacture. Simply comparing the two 1/2 you can tell the MHC ones are better manufactured. The grinding, the laser engraving are just more crisp compared to the no name. The no name was ground with several facets all along the edge(its kind of hard to picture but can sort of make them out), while the MHC are ground smooth. Pretty sure Drill America is just buying up old stock of other brands and slapping their label on them. That's fine I really don't mind that honestly, a lot of companies buy up old new stock in huge bulk and offer them up piece meal and deliver on the hobby machinist a decent and serviceable cutting tool at a fairly decent price. Gonna try them out but give my experience with the interstate before they should be fine. The no named gives me a little pause but being they are just HSS you need to watch your speeds, feeds, and use plenty of fluids so you don't burn them up. Which on manual machines is a little more easier to do than on a CNC.

Mine was rusted out of the package, with a poor grind job and chips stuck to it.

I use these types of end mills a lot, so I figured I would try one of these & save a few bucks, nope.I used this for milling latch strikes into .075w mild steel tube. After 1/4" of travel (which is the diameter of the end mill) it bogged down & wouldn't continue to chip material as it cut. I turned & used the other side, got 3/8" of travel out of it. We use a good cutting fluid also, that wasn't the issue..No thanks, I'll stick to the ones that I know are good quality.
