I got a lot of different types of cutters with my mill when I bought it. Some I know what they are and others not.
Wondering if anyone knows a pictorial site or chart to help me identify them ?
Too many to post pictures, but may for ones I can't ID.
I also have some double ended cutters with numbers on them like OE-(4 digit number)-(4 digit number).
Is there a method to the madness of the number system or do I need a chart ?
 
Uh dude, always show a picture when your trying to ask us to identify something, oh wait I just hacked into you Web cam those are......:bang head:

Thanks for this reference. A good read and reference.

i like the link bill, but dont ever take the chance of seeing tools away from me lol, i love seeing tools, not just the pretty brand new ones on a manufacturers website, but real tools, like he has, and like you have, and i would also like to see specifically the OE number he was wanting help to try to identify
 
Thanks Billy G. and don't worry chevydyl, I've got others not pictured. I'll be posting some pictures.
Until then......
 
As promised, here's some pictures of some stuff I have no idea what they are or not completely sure:

I have some more close-ups if needed.
 
Thought I'd go ahead and post the pictures of the tooling I got with my mill:

I'll give try at identifying some of the items in your first post ...
Photo 1 - Top right - fly cutter
Top left - rubber collet (see photo 8)
Lower row - arbors for slitting saws and/or grinding wheels
Photo 2 - Bottom left - keyway cutter (?)
2nd from left - Ball end mill
3rd - Long center drill (aka "combined drill & countersink")
Top, just right of center - Looks like a collet for a Dremel tool
Photo 5 - Counterbore for wood (?). Doesn't look like it's built for cutting metal
Photo 6 - Another tool for wood (?). Again, flutes are way too thin for metal work
Photo 7 - "keyhole slot" cutter for wood (makes hanging slots on the back of things like plaques)
Photo 8 - Rubber collet and head. Possibly for wood cutting bits.

Hope this is of help.
