Here is what our customers are saying:
"I just wanted to give you feedback on my recent
order. The Stub cutter and mill/drill I purchased are amazing! The
stub rougher shreds the medium carbon steel like butter and leaves a nice
profile. The chamfers are cut at ease and save time and money
from conventional methods I used. Your cutters are better than anything I
have tried so far and I look forward to more business. I thought you should know
your product(s) is(are) bad ass!" -Tim

"We
have been purchasing standard and special tools from Lakeshore Carbide for
quite a few years. The quality of the tools have been outstanding and they have
lowered our cost per cut by a big factor. They have worked with us to develop
several special cutting tools that not only saved us a lot of money but also
saved us a lot of time. Excellent service from people who provide high quality
products at reasonable prices and who really care about their customers. I
highly recommend you give them a try."

"Your
cutting tools hold up better to rough use, last longer in long production runs,
are more stable in chatter prone cuts and can be run harder, reducing cycle
times. I've compared them to Accupro, Kennametal, OSG, SGS and Maritool in side
by side cut tests and they're often the best cutter and always the best overall
value. For someone who's going to take the time to tweak in their process, your
carbide, coating and geometry "click". So, when asked, I always
recommend your cutters."

"I've bought both the 6-32 and 5/8-18 threadmills (full
form) from Lakeshore and they are the only way to go as far as I'm concerned.
The 6/32 was for a very shallow hole (0.125") in 6061, and I tried cut
taps / form taps / rigid tap/ compression holder trying to dial it in. Finally
got the threadmill from Lakeshore after talking to their guy Carl (a real
standup guy). Told him I broke one due to my fault, and he still sent me a free
one, then proceeded to hold my hand until I got it dialed in. Went on to tap
400 holes without a hitch, and they look better than any of the other methods.
Because they have multiple teeth and are a "topping" cutter, the
threads really look fantastic, go within 0.005" from the bottom of the
hole, and were actually faster per hole than any of the other methods, at least
on my machine.
Don't cheap out on this; call them and tell them what you are trying to
accomplish, and take their advice on speeds / feeds /etc. You won't be sorry."

cleanly laid out and easy to use."

"Your
variable flute aluminum endmills are total game changers for me. I've been able
to double my depth of cuts for many operations. I have a Tormach PCNC1100 mill
which lacks the rigidity of of real VMC, and chatter was a common problem for
me, but not anymore."

"Your cutting tools are phenomenal! From the Aluminum variable pitch to the 4 flute roughing endmills,
I have never experienced such a finely tuned, well thought out, superior workmanship anywhere!
(and at such a reasonable price!) On the Aluminum variable pitch endmills, you are right on the mark with
geometry, surface finish, coating, and right down to the latest R.003 end prep. You definitely have a passion
for doing things right, and cant believe the performance of your cutters. You guys keep up the great work!"

"First
let me say I am a huge fan of your cutting tools. I have tried many brands and
yours have always turned out to work best for me.
I am using your drill/chamfer mills to do “V carving” in aluminum. Raised
lettering with chamfered sides in the face of plates. I tried about $600 worth
of similar tools looking for the best ones to cut these with a good finish and
yours produce the best results."

"I finally had a chance to use your 1/2"
variable flute rougher (170RF12HD), and it blew me away. I was lucky to
push the roughing mills in our shop at 70 SFM/1 IPM and get something
resembling a part. Right away I was able to push your carbide cutter at
250 SFM/18 IPM in steel, quietly. My boss even walked over, asked
how I was roughing that fast, and how I wasn't burning the tool up
without coolant. Made my day."

"Great end mills! My
little 1.5 horsepower Tormach CNC mill can now run up to 1/4 dia. end
mills at the full recommended chip load.
You tools left Maritool cutters in the dust (I did a bunch of test
cuts at every axial and radial depth possible, the difference in
vibration is amazing)! "
