Tom, contacting LMS to find out whether an 1.5" end mill could work with a 3960(identical to my Craftex) , would have been pointless since they already advertise a 2" indexable end mill as "compatible" with a 3960.lol.Ken, I was commenting on your post #4 where you said your mill is an LMS 3960. I withdraw my suggestion to call LMS. They may not be too keen on commenting on a Craftex machine. Ha!
Have you decided which insert style you're going to buy?

I have not decided on which end mill or what style insert to buy yet, there are so many choices but the truth is , a 3/4"(fine tooth) roughing end mill could most likely do a better job than an indexable type.for facing and side milling, I just love my 1/2" roughing EM and use it often for many milling operations including facing although facing with it does get tedious on wider projects .
