  In the above example, click the X after "6mm End Mill" to remove that phrase from your search and resubmit your search to view products in the "End Mills-High Speed Steel" classification of the "Rotary Cutting Tools" category. Alternately, if you want to keep "6mm End Mill" and "Rotary Cutting Tools" in your search, but don't want "End Mills-High Speed Steel", then click the "Rotary Cutting Tools" hyperlink to view all the matches to "6mm End Mill" in the "Rotary Cutting Tools" Category.
• Search Within Results - Check the "Within Results" box to add more detail to your current search. For example, if you first type "end mill" and then want to specify 6mm, instead of retyping "6mm end mill" you can type "6mm", click "within results", and your search will be resubmitted as "end mill 6mm".
• Sort - Your search is initially sorted by relevance, then you can sort by Price, Manufacturer Name or MSC/J&L part number.
• Compare Similar Products - The compare button will be shown whenever you have similar products (e.g. You can compare a jobber drill to another jobber drill, but can't compare a jobber drill to an end mill). You can compare up to five items at once, as long as the items are all on the same results page.

• View Images - A thumbnail product image is shown, and clicking the thumbnail will take you to the product detail page. Use "Click to enlarge" to view a larger image, and then click the image to make it go away.
