Is an End Mill, a Pen Mill, and a Universal Pen Barrel Trimming Kit one and the same? I've seen all the phrases used on this site and was wondering if they refer to the same monster.
Thanks

yes
They are not the same.
An endmill is a shank-type Milling cutter, a cutting tool used in industrial milling applications. It is distinguished from the drill bit, in its application, geometry, and manufacture. Whereas a drill bit can only cut in the axial direction, a milling bit can generally cut in all directions, though some cannot cut axially.
A pen mill and a barrel trimmer are different names for the same tool, which essentially provides a means of squaring the ends of a pen barrel to the axis of the glued-in tube.

Nope, my foot was, apparently, well buried in my mouth.
I think your picking nits, but that's what we are here for.

Oh, sure. I finally get to make my FIRST POST about a tool and it's a "nit". I see how you are! []

Let's call it a "toolette", since it's pretty small for a "tool".
And I've always said, "You want info on a toolette (or something like that) go see Lou!!"

While Lou is technically correct, I have seen and heard of the barrel trimmer or pen mill referred to as an end mill. After all is said and done what are you doing? Milling the ends of the pen. Therefore the "nit" be picked, I would not fault you for calling it an "end mill"
Ed,
I got your back buddy!

That's not a very flattering photo, Scott. BTW, I had you pegged as much younger.[}]

Are you quoting Dawn?
I can't believe my UK friend haven't stepped forward on this thread what with the talk of toolettes and loos. [8D]

So, what you are saying is Lou and "Toolette" are pretty much synonymous???????
I know Lou has frequently said he is not much of a "BIG tool guy!' But, I thought that was probably just to keep wayward senators at bay!!

And once again folks, Ed, Cav, Lou and Mudder, with a bit of help from Billy, take a topic "south."
But I know that Mudder is supporting Ed for only one reason, in hopes of getting his ONE FREE PEN PER CUSTOMER.

Gerry,
Dawn collapsed.
She sent it to him today. Believe me, he is getting much more than he deserves.

You mean she had a mental lapse and sent him the pen, right? Or did she collapse under the weight of so much responsbility?

"Toolette guy" no the word is not in the dictionary but Lou is the "Nib guy" in my books!
