Anyone have feedback on these ballnose endmills?

Here's the company. (http://www.2linc.com/tools_endmills_ballnose.htm?ID_NUM=H2-250x2.0-.125-.5&NAME=Ballns+Endmill+H2-250x2.0-.125-.5&PRICE=18.13&QUANTITY=4&WEIGHT=.2&x=21&y=14)
I'll only be using them for second or third pass cleaning, they won't get much of a workout.
I broke a brand new Onsrud 77-102 today, never even spun it up. I was doing too many things at once and lowered the router when I thought I was raising it, snapped it right off.
After some searching, these guys seem to have a good name among cnc'ers, I was going to order a couple 1/16" and a couple 1/8" just to give them a try.
Anybody have any input on them? Any experience with them?

as long as you don't need tapered ones I have used cheap ones and they work fine. It does not seem to matter as much as it does when cutting parts out. so I buy them on ebay or or where I can get them for a good price.

Thanks for that, Steve!!!
I'm all new to this, I just recently got my shopbot. I'm on step one working with Vectric Cut2D making some little signs and I need the smaller bits to get the definition I want after I hog out material.
They won't get much of a workout at all.

I have been using bits that I got off ebay The seller is smpart I have been using his single flute up cut end mill 1/8 with a 32mm cutting length. About $30.00 shipped for 10 This is for cutting 25 mm sintra but I am going to order some ball nose to try.

That's crazy cheap. I'd throw 30 bucks at them just to give them a shot.
Are they 1/4" arbor, Jerry?
Edit:
I looked for him, did an advanced search. He must not have anything for sale right now.
Double edit:
I'm retarded. I found him. Thanks, Jerry!!!

the only thing to worry about is cut length most of them are only 1/2" or less. so that may cause problems depending on the 3d. also it does not matter if it is 2f or 4f.

I am getting them in 17mm and 32 mm 17 mm is roughly 5/8 and 32mm is 1.29 inches also they have a 1/8 shank

i bought some 1/8 ball nose bits from . Havent had a chance to do much with them but they seem pretty good. on ebay

When you go on e bay look under woodworking then under router bits . there are hundreds of 1/8 bits 3.00 and under each. i just bought some 3 flute 1/8 cutters for 2.50 ea

I got the bits and I'm very happy with them.
On the next go, I think I'll try Razor Sharp Grinding. I looked at ebay and Amazon, and I saved a couple sellers you guys mentioned on ebay.
I should probably get an 1/8" collet, all the really inexpensive bits aren't 1/4" shank.
Do you guys use an 1/8" collet?

I have yet to break a bit running a part. I just keep doing stupid stuff like not turning the router back on after a tool change, or swinging the bit into a part, or jamming a bit in the table. I wish I had rubber bits to learn with, this is getting expensive. :)

There are a lot of bits with a 6mm or 3mm shanks . I use a 1/8 collet in my spindle . I am thinking about a 6mm also

[jerry_stanek]

I have a set of metric and a set of inch collets just so I am covered for anything that comes up

I just recieved the 3 flute 1/8" cutters today ( 12 days shipping) They look very good . I will post after i use them

Ordered the single flute plastic bits from the gentleman on ebay selling 10 packs as well. So far they are shipped fast and seem nice and sharp. Also ordered from Nap Gladu, slow shipping, but they have a great selection of bits, and an organized website.
