Very useful facing/roughing milling cutter
One of yesterday's jobs was to tidy up the end of this 100 x 120 x 150 piece of (I think) A36. It had been appallingly hacked off with an oxy torch (not by me), and I needed to get it flat enough so I could stand it on that end without rocking.

My weapon of choice for this sort of ugly work is what CTC sell as a 45° chamfering endmill. Its a great metal removing bargain, holder and 10 tips (40 points) in your mail box for sixty odd dollars. I find myself using it whenever I need to tidy up anything that is welded, oxy cut, rusted, scaly, pitted etc. And it also works well as a finishing cutter for small areas, width of cut is 25mm.
It might even do good chamfers, I wouldn't know. :D
I've taken the surface down 8mm, there are still a lot of gouges, but it will be fine for what I need it to do.
