Where to get cheap end mill bits

[klmo1990]

I'm working on a budget at pistol from an 80% lower and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find the end mill bits for a reasonable price

Ebay.

I buy them on amazon. They seem to have every size you could want at a fair price and they show up fast.

I bought these to do 2 80% lowers. No issues with them. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007BTPAZ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I had to recently replace a bit and used this company -

Here is the 1/4"x 4" uncoated - http://www.the-carbide-end-mill-sto...long-htc-170-4250-4-flute-gp-30-uncoated.html

Enco usually has decent prices, and you'll have a choice of "Murrican Steel or Chinesium.

(Though, if you've got a Prime account, Amazon becomes pretty compelling.)

Okay and what sizes do I need? Is it 3/8 and 1/4?

A few 80% jigs say you need
1/4, 3/8, 19/64, and 5/32

If you look at the radius in the corners of the fire control pocket. a 7/16" end mill actually is the perfect tool for the correct radius. Works great.

I buy mine from McMaster Carr. If I order before 330pm, it'll show up the next day.

+1 for McMaster. They have a huge selection of metalworking tools, parts, and stock. Plus everything they sell is legitimate and not fake brand copies, which has not been the case for purchases of mine from some of those other online markets mentioned.

I'd rather pay a little more for a real US or European-origin bit made with known metallurgy and dimensional QC, rather than something rough machined out of a probably former railroad tie plate in a third world country.

McMaster Carr mentioned above and MSC Industrial http://www.mscdirect.com/ProductsHomeView were the common sources manufacturing companies use for small quantities of tools and supplies when I was working.
