Zrn coated cutter in europe? (Similar to those on Carbide3d)

1

Hi :slight_smile:

I can see that a lot of you guys, like the Zrn cutters from Carbide3d for cutting aluminum.

These cutters:

To buy them in the US, would get to expensive due to the 60$ shipping fee, 24$ tax handling fee + taxes!
Is there a place to buy cutters similar to those within europe or in China with cheaper/free shipping?

Im looking for cutters in 3.175 (1/8) and 6mm.

Best regards

Morten

I used Harvey manufacturing’s find a local distributor feature to find a local shop which distributes endmills to local machine shops — might be you could do the same.

We have tried to gather a list of sources for endmills in Europe:

For aluminum, I also use uncoated carbide single flute endmills with success that I purchase from a vendor on AliExpress in addition to the ZrN endmills I use. Fesoul CNC Store

@Vince.Fab reported using HSS endmills for aluminum work too, they are cheaper and probably more available.
