We’ve All Blamed the End Mill. But Was It Really the Tool? | 56

When an end mill starts misbehaving, the cutter usually gets blamed first. But Scott Walrath says the real problem may be the toolholder, the runout, or the way the whole setup is working together.
In this episode, Scott joins us from CERATIZIT USA to talk through what he has learned from more than 40 years in the cutting-tool industry. We get into carbide prices, tungsten supply, tool life, reconditioning, high-performance milling, and why small changes in setup can make a big difference at the machine.
It’s a practical conversation about getting more out of your tooling and figuring out what is actually causing the problem before you reach for a new end mill.
