Where is the best place to get end mills? I am looking for cheap as I can get because I know I will be breaking them. Lol

I will get good ones later on.

I have only used Amazon so far but I’m only using cheap bits at the moment, for similar reasons. And two day shipping

What are you cutting?

@Colin_Kaminski right now just wood. Pine mostly.

The Ryobi straight bits are a good deal. I’ll try to find a link to the ball cutter I use. It is 1/2 dia but has a long sidewall. They are more but carve well. I think it comes from Precision Bits. For specialty woods I like Precise Bits. They have good bits for exotic woods.

I was at lowes and the roto zip bits are fairly cheap. Even their so called good bits were reasonable.
