Accupro cutters are good. Accupro stuff can be made by different manufacturers. Accupro is a MSC house brand. Niagara is one of the best.
Sounds like you got a really good deal, $21 is usually the price for just one roughing endmill depending on the size.
I purchased this rotary broach holder a couple of months ago, just now getting around to the photo's.
Rotary broach holder by DB Customs. Made in the USA. I purchased it from LMS for $262.00 much less expensive than other brands. It is also available direct from the manufacturers web site. I had intended to make one but when I saw this on LMS I just couldn't resist.The workmanship is top notch and feels like an American made solid tool. I purchased a bearing replacement kit directly from DB customs although I don't think I'll need to replace the bearings in my lifetime. This is the light duty version, they also have a normal duty version. They are great people to deal with and very accommodating to hobbyists. I love buying from a young American start up company and hope they grow and become very well known. I got the R8 to JT33 adapter and the MT3 to JT33 adapter for my mini lathe and mini mill. They are now selling broaches from Rayco, another USA company. The broaches in the photo are from LMS(China) and From Polygon solutions(USA Made). The wood case I made from plywood scraps I had in the shop, not pretty but does the job. Next chance I get I'll test this out and report back on it.
