I've got a bunch of 18 Ga 304 Stainless work that I will have to flush trim after it's installed on the substrate. I've done this with standard flush trim wood bits before but only in small amounts as it, of course, kills the typical carbide tipped flush bit pretty quickly, even with cutting fluid.
Someone told me today he knew of a toolmaker that was making what was basically an end mill with a bearing with different edge geometry than the usual straight or slightly helixed bit that does a great job of it and lasts a while but couldn't remember their name.
Internet search hasn't helped so far.
I checked with a few of my tool supplier friends but no-one knew who it could be and they even checked around a bit for me.
Anyone here know of a company that makes that type of bit? First batch of parts due for machining Monday and I have no problem getting what I need Fedexed in but would need to order tomorrow.
