Why don't we rename this thread to Slot Drills and End Mills, and I can repost my question? My question has nothing to do with either. I asked about milling cutters that creep out of their (collet)holders, and why they do. I too looked at my mills and find that flutes run from 2 to many and all are center cutting.I gather that some prefer to talk about slotting.Or better still, why don't we put it to rest. Mosey
If you are making holders anyway put end mill holders on the list. End mill holders with a set screw are very handy and they will not slip or creep if the set screw is tight.
I've got a small end mill with absolutely no teeth on the bottom at all, it's perfectly flat. Is this normal or has it missed a stage in production? It's brand new, never been used.
