SINGING END MILL

[BROCKWOOD]

Just using what I have Lo-Fi. While I do have a very nice 3/4" roughing end mill that will fit, I didn't want to go that wide with this slot. It is true that this 5/8" cutter is best preserved by not making it sing. These are part of a collection a friend sent me for use in my large mill (still getting it ready for service). The art of sharpening end mills, if I do this right, won't be necessary.

Since it's not possible to see the 'subject' in the above video, I recorded another pass - also too big a file to upload here directly. I've measured & set my depth stop. Getting there is entirely by feel though.
