It took 5 weeks for delivery, but other than having to run a tap into the threaded handle hole, it looks like a good deal. It even came with a carbide insert. And, has a smooth ball bearing movement.

I got a box of end mills really cheap when buying a rotary table. Sprayed them with wd40 and they sat a few years. Started going through them this summer and some are dull, but it was a bargain in retrospect.
