If SwiftCarb doesn't have anything standard you can use, TMA Tools is a small manufacturer that specializes in custom tools. I've been using them for almost 4 years now, mostly for double-margin drills, but whenever I stop by I see racks of endmills in process for a local transmission manufacturer. They're website isn't much to look at, but they're reasonably priced and decent lead times for custom tools.
Well, problem with this method, is I don't understand any of how to execute it, unfortunately. Where can I learn more about how to execute this method? Would that be in the MPMaster manual? I think sometimes you guys are so smart that you take us dumb folks for granted, lol.
SwiftCarb has a lot of thru spindle options. They have almost exactly the same cutter dimensions as you listed BUT it has a .75" DOC instead of 1" and a 2.25" shoulder length.
Part # from their catalogue is XT05007BUG69TCCM.
They also have one with 2.625" shoulder length. Part # XT05007BUH2ERTCCM
I believe they will also do customs if needed but if you decide custom I would probably look at Fraisa.
