What do you need? If it's something cheap, I have numerous end mills both new and used laying around in my tool box I can hook you up with for free (you pay shipping). If you need carbide we can work out a trade or I can sell them to you cheap. I was a machinist with a small home shop for years, now I only do programming and don't see these ever getting used.
If you'd rather just order them Enco is the cheapest I've seen.
Every end mill I've seen sold locally was extremely low quality.

If you're ever passing through Huntsville, Decatur, Guntersville, Auburn, or the Schoals, you might try Mike's Merchandise. The place is a giant junk heap, but I have seen some deals on NOS end mills here at our Huntsville store.

This actually isn't too bad an idea. You might not be able to order exactly what you wanted, but you should be able find something that will work and usually at a pretty good price.

If ordering, ebay is actually the cheapest option. I have bought some from there for cheaper than most places charge for shipping

My company sells them ( and I think we have a branch in Pelham), but we aren't really setup for small purchases.
I've tried to setup an online discount for arfcom and another forum in the past, but got shot down by the home office.
