I could remember you mentioning in a earlier thread that you use normal end mills for wood cutting. Are they HSS, Carbide tipped or carbide.

A quick answer to your question; solid carbide only.

Carbide-tipped uses a carbide that can be "welded", this is a different (softer) grade of carbide to that used for solid carbide tools.

Gerald, Can I cut letters from brass plates having thickness of 1.2 mm. If so what would be the best cutting tool to use. Can I also engrave on SS.

We have never (intentionally) cut anything other than wood or plastic. (Sometimes we cut into the cast iron clamps by mistake). I don't have the experience to answer your question. But there will be no harm in you doing some experimenting and becoming the expert on this subject. :-)
