I am wondering the same thing.The piece you linked is described as a 25mm end mill with a 25mm shank.
I'm wondering what you actually received.
The same Amazon page does list some fractional sizes at equivalently attractive prices.
Agree. When I look at the cost of raw material vs buying something like that made overseas, making your own often fails to make sense.Gantry crane came in. I really wanted to build my own, but after I got the quotes for the steel from my supplier it was way cheaper to buy one than build one. That is pretty sad really.
Think of more like a starting point. When your done tricking it out it will lift 8 tons without wobble and make you a sammich.Gantry crane came in.

Wow, 3/32" minimum?!?! Bet you'll be just skimming with that one!I just bought six miniature 1/2” shank boring bars. These are carbide tipped + they have a solid carbide stem. They are made in USA by APT.
I bought one MB2, two MB3s, one MB4 and two MB5s. These range from 3/32” to 3/16” minimum bore. The range of bore depths is 15/32” to 15/16” max bore depth.
As far as I can tell, the 3/32" number is the minimum bore diameter ... 15/32" max depth. That might well be a useful cutting tool for smaller holes.Wow, 3/32" minimum?!?! Bet you'll be just skimming with that one!
