I picked up a few lots in an auction this week. There was lots of decent machinist stuff and, for a change, the lots were generally not too big and not too small. One of the slightly bigger lots that I won, included the following:
Obviously, there is a set of Foredom rotary tool collets. Based on that, I wonder if some of the groups are for that?
The group in box 1 are all 4-flute cutters. The bigger ones have a 3/16" shank. The smaller have a 1/8" shank. No flat on the shanks. Marked "P&W" and the shank size.
In Box 2, they are again 4-flute but have a 1/4" shank with a 'Weldon-type' flat. Box 3 have apparently the same shank but are 2-flute (non-center cutting) bits. No visible markings.
Box 4 appears to be end mills but they have a really short shank (3/8" dia, about 3/4" long). Faintly marked, maybe 'JMC'? The double-ended cutter to the right also has a really small shank area in the middle. Marked "P&W 1/8" Are these OK to use in a milling machine?
All of the above appear to be HSS.
I'm planning to sell the collets and any bits that ought to go with it. Anybody interested?
