Well, I always make a rough cut first, then make a finish pass of about .010" to clean up the edge with minimal tool deflection. Small HSS cutters can deflect an amazing amount without breaking, but you will have large errors. Solid carbide cutters are much stiffer.

Thanks Jon. Cheers, Gene Heskett That's only a 10 um scale, hardly suitable for high accuracy machines. 10 um = .0004" or 2540 counts/inch. I'm running 20000 counts/inch on my Bridgeport in X and Y, and 40000 counts/inch on Z.
