The other night, someone was looking for end mills. If the Tool Fund were going to start maintaining a few end mills, what sizes and types would people want? No promises, of course, as end mills can be expensive and easily damaged, but I'd be glad to check it out.

Millimeters may be metric, but ¼” is larger than 5mm, thus fulfilling your request without needing another collet or holder.
What’s the use case for a metric end mill? I’m not a machinist by any stretch of the imagination, so forgive me for not understanding. I recognize the need with drill bits, where your bit size is your final hole size, but when you’re milling you can make additional passes with a narrower tool. If you were doing a lot of slotting and wanted to work in a single pass, or needed a lot of precision, I’d understand but suggest not using our milling machine in the first place. Otherwise it seems like an SAE set could do pretty much everything a metric set could do, with an allowance for a 5mm if you really need 5mm features (since nobody wants to use anything smaller than ¼” unless absolutely necessary).
