Antler / Horn / Bone End-mills (MH2I8) - (0.125" shank)

Overview

Think & Tinker, 2-flute, 1/8 inch shank Antler/Horn cutters are specifically designed to machine hard organic materials like antler, horn, bone and fossil ivory. The relatively large flute volume is designed to accommodate the sticky swarf that is often encountered with these materials.

Manufactured in the USA, every tool is:

  • 100% measured / optically inspected to insure that EVERY tool meets, or exceeds, our published specifications
  • made from premium grade submicrograin tungsten carbide (HRa 92, HRc 80)

This attention to detail and the use of top quality materials result in tools with dependable cutting characteristics and one of the longest tool lives in the market. Combined with comprehensive customer support, our cutters have become the tools of choice for sign makers, model makers, artists and instrument builders around the world.

NOTE: When cutting dense, brittle materials like fossil ivory, the TIR measured at 0.8in. (20mm) from the face of your 1/8in. collet MUST be less than 0.0007in.  (0.018mm).
