buying bits

[aokweld101]

I found this on the net it just misses me up when they use MM instead of standard U.S size, I am wanting to use this with the ER-11.. I assume the 6.D is the 15/64 equal to the 1/4 dia. and the 75L is equal to 2"15/16 length

R0.5 -> 0.0197" radius ball, 30H -> 1.18" LOC, 6D -> 6 mm diameter - > 0.236" diameter, 75L -> 2.95" total length, 2F -> 2 flutes

You can use this in the ER11M with a 1/4" collect. I have 6 mm collets I use with bits like this. If you buy some, let us know how it goes.

Thanks Dan, I was wanting to make sure before I bought them, last time I ordered a bit I received a .08 diameter bit I have no idea what to use them on, It's so small I am afraid to use it ...But I do have

Did you decide to purchase the bits from Jeefoo? If so, how did they perform?

And where did you pick up the Kyocera bit for $29?
