Deboer Tools

Well I've just upgraded one of my end mills I use for Aluminium to a specialized 1/4" 3 Flute Rough Finisher end mill specifically designed for Aluminium.

Price wise (for those thrifty or cheap) it is in the ball park of what you get from local suppliers.

Is is worth the money hell yeah! Impressive.

Better chip evacuation, seems like less load on the motor, better finish, less noise for the same speeds and feeds for a 4 flute end mill. What does this mean, when the mill gets upgraded to balls screws I will likely be upping the feed.

Here is the best part, they are Canadian, local to Toronto and can be bought online.


As a final note I will be adding more sizes from this supplier and consider them as a prime source.
