Does anyone have a part number for a 1/16 inch DOWN CUT endmill?

Google search gave me a whole bunch of them. There's one on this page from a supplier I use:

These work great in hardwood and exotics, we use them for buttonholes and small stuff.

Oh, Very clean cuts and pocket bottoms, even on Ebony and squirrely stuff like Curly Maple.

It's always worth trying a few brands as not all are made equal and what may seem cheap works out expensive when you take tool life into account.
