I get most of my lathe & mill cutters from aliexspress now
are around 1/5th of what yer pay here for carbite inserts
and they work almost as good as known brands...

theres some good stuff at good prises if yer spend the time
to search though... most is free shiping..

Thanks for the tip, Pete. I never thought of cutting tools for my lathe from AliExpress.

I have successfully ordered several items from Aliexpress (Alibaba)...the latest being the metal screen oil filters for the RX3.

I must admit I was more than a little nervous about giving my credit card number to someone in China....no PayPal option that I am aware of.

I decided to use my emergency CC, with a low amount charge limit, that I rarely use. So far (over a year since the first order), there have been no fraudulent charges against that card.

Just be careful on Aliexpress when you buy carburetors and jets. Example is the OKO carb make sure it has the Taiwan flag on the box and if you buy jets they can be very poor quality and stamped with the wrong number. Alot of knock offs on brand name carburetors/jets.

The carbide inserts and holders work for me to from Aliexpress.

This is the cheapest seller I have found for

Just got a pack of face mill cutters from them
took 2 weeks to arive... Not tryed them yet
so don't know how they cut..

I'm interested in hearing about how well they work, Pete.

I really appreciate this store, and am really curious how they cut.

Have you bought endmills on AliExpress? I've been wanting some rougher-finishers but the price is so high through traditional outlets. My quick search didn't yield any obvious results, I'll look again when I get home.

I got some HSS end mills "4flute" only used them on alloy..
I have tungsten carbide ones I use on steel & stainless..

i have been looking for 4 flute ball nose end mills not so
easy to come by in 4 flute... I only have ball nose in 2 flute
slot drills... "don't like the finish they give"

This one has alot of good stuff at good prises...
Have bought a lot of inserts/tooling from them...
