Endmill buyers anonymous

Hi, my name is Gabriel and I am a chronic endmill buyer. After receiving my x carve I purchased a couple of endmills. Within the next couple of days, I ordered another 3 or or so more. Now I have 51 endmills on my table.

If the first step is admitting I have a problem then I am not there yet but I did need to make a new block to hold the bits I keep buying.

Since I took this picture I have added about 20 new 6mm shank diameter bits, they are just so cheap on eBay!

nice layout! Think i will have to adapt this design.

Then I guess Encos 25% off and free shipping will not help you over come your problem.
Code CYBER for 25% and MONDAY for shipping. :smiley:

Good grief, what are you doing with all those mills? xD

Hopefully not breaking them that makes me cry when I do.

I have a drawer built into my bit holder for more bits still in their packages… I guess this puts me in “Endmill buyers anonymous”

i’ll have to make a holder soon and post it… mine are just in a couple of piles by size.

Same here. Ironic, really, given the amount of milling I do!

Well, THAT was spendy…

:innocent:

64, not counting the broken bits I’m going to try to use for engraving or the 3 I have in my Amazon cart…

I like the written notes on the tool caddy.

Thanks, I figured it would help to keep track of the individual sizes. I initially thought 20 would be overkill, but now I’m thinking about making them rows of 7 instead of 4. :smile:

Anyone have a good source for bits with 1/4 shank?
I checked out drillman1 that many seem to use but I had a hard time locating 1/4 shank

I bought 4mm and 6mm collets for my dewalt, there seem to be a lot more choices.
