I cut only aluminum with these tools. The TiN plating seems to improve the performance. I usually get a couple that will break within seconds of using them. The rest seem to cut with decent performance and longevity. If I go with a cheaper tool, I get more rejects and cutting speed seems to drop significantly. I can usually cut 6061 aluminum without a lot of trouble. Other softer types of aluminum seem to cut like peanut butter, gumming up just about any tool and breaking it.
I use this on a CNC machine. I try not to use a more expensive tool because I occasionally break a well working tool by making a mistake during setup, and I don't like breaking expensive tools.
I have tried 1 , 2, 3 ,and 4 flute tools. The two flute seems to work best for me. One flute vibrates too much, and 3 & 4 flutes don't seem to remove the chips as efficiently.

Once assembled, it works OK. Needs significant trimming to get the servos to fit properly. With no instructions, you get to have a quality learning experience with the assembly.
New Motorola Model MB7220 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem
Nov 22, 2016
Upgraded to DOCSIS 3
Bought this to upgrade to DOCSIS 3. Performance on my DOCSIS 2 modem (Linksys) was a bit shabby and I was not getting the throughput that I was paying for. It was easy to set up, I had to contact my service provider to register it. So far, I am pleased with its up-time.
