Currently have zero complaints with them. Running a 924 series in steel and tool life, finish, etc, are super. However, as with everything but my paycheck, the price just keeps creeping up.
A local vendor wants us to try Gorilla I think it was? I doubt I would make a switch over a couple bucks but lots of tools out there!
We are running a TOUGH operation. 1Xdiam deep, full slot in some spots, etc. I am not too excited to throw brand X in there and cost us some parts if they cannot handle it.
I know a bigger just loving MA Ford stuff. still have not tried them. Seems like once we finally get something dialed in, the job ends.
Oh, I wanted to dig into Aluminum cutters too. We have a couple jobs that we need to minimize burrs because they are too hard to clean up. Running Imco streakers, there is no burr we cannot remove with a fingernail. tried some others and though they chewed through the parts find, the burr was not acceptable! The streaker is an uncoated tool. I think we tested Lakeshore at one point and cannot remember how they stacked up.
We seem to need tools that produce perfect finish with less burrs, rather than the highest MRR most guys are chasing. Maybe they go hand in hand though.
