I'm machining though 3" aluminum bar and the longest end mill I have is 2" so it requires 2 different set-ups. looking for a source of extended length end mills . I prefer 2 flute end mills. Any recommendations of where to buy these.
 
I did a quick search on the Enco and Victor Machinery web sites. Both have a selection of two flute end mills with 3" long flutes. Do a web search on cutting tools/end mills and I'm sure you will get a lot of cutting tool vendors that have what you need.

Hope this helps,

Most all of the normal industrial suppliers have them. Enco, Travers, MSC, etc. I usually just call my local tool supplier and let them track down exactly what I need.

You didn't say what diameter.........
 
oops! 3/8" diameter. that seems to work the best for what I'm doing. Building a Jerry Howell Farm Boy Engine. Lots of fun so far.
 
All I can say in emergency situation, call Victor Machine Exchange in NY (by phone). Example I called at 3pm and UPS was here 9AM
the next day with NO extra shipping charges, and the people there are real freindly and you are not talking to some stupid tape recorder.
 
I know the owner of Victor Machinery Exchange,at least. Have been there a number of times buying thousands of dollars of files,literally. Very nice folks to deal with.
 
MSC corp. has a selection of long end mills. Call 1-800 645-7270 and ask for a catalog. They're good people to deal with.
