How to Use
Secure the end mill in a rigid holder, verify runout and use a controlled center-cutting entry. Select speeds, feeds, coolant and depth of cut for the diameter and workpiece, especially when fine finish is required.
Use machine guarding and eye protection. Center-cutting capability does not remove the need for correct entry conditions, chip evacuation and conservative feeds when plunging. California Proposition 65 warning may apply.
