I have 4 face mills, that I run on 3 different milling machines, a Rockwell (1hp), a Jet (2 hp) and the Franken-Mill (2hp), 2 of the face mills are 2” and the other 2 face mills are 2-1/2”. The best ones I own are the 2 of the 2”, one is a Walter F4041 and the other is a BangGood one, using APKT inserts. The Walter is a high buck unit, where the inserts are $25/ea, is a true metal eating monster, even at 1 hp, the BangGood one is a very good unit, removes metal fast and leaves a good finish, it also runs well at 1hp. The 2-1/2” face mills are pushing the of capacity even the 2 hp mills, could be the insert type or the extra diameter.
