Another newb question, when do you uses a face mill versus a fly cutter ?
Another newb question, when do you uses a face mill versus a fly cutter ?
If your not skimming the whole surface the corner shape will be effected by the fly cutters tool radius. I.e. I find if I want to make a square edge i use a face mill.
Fly cutters are un ballenced so a slower rpm is required than a face mill.
The fly cutters are single point so sharpening the tool is nice and easy. Also makes them a cheep tool to use for removing much matirial.
Just my thoughts their not realy a definitive guide
