    Hello, I haven't posted here in awhile. Probably because everything's working and I don't have a question until now. Here it it:

    I've got several sharkbits tapered ball mills. For example a SB-501654-NS which is a 1/16th inch tapered ball mill. But looking anywhere, I don't see the taper specified on it. I need to know this as I'm using if for a double sided foundry pattern where I mill out the inside with the draft angle, then flip over and mill the outside. Because I need to maintain the specified thickness on the pattern, I need to know the angle so I can offset the cut profile in the cad CAD drawing.
    I'll be able to offset my cut by the depth x tan(angle). I've got other tapered mills that are 3.6 degrees and the sharkbits look very close. But I won't know know. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. No Angle column. And the "Degree" column is blank.

    I am able to see the angles when I look at the link. I just added them to my Vectric database. The only blank ones I see are the flat endmills with straight sides

    The table in the first link has the angle, but it may not show immediately on a smaller screen - However if you were to click on the tool number the link takes you to the wrong page:

    Clicking on the 'SB-501654-NS' link from that table takes me here:

    Maybe explains the confusion?
