4 flutes.

It is not center cutting flute os it might happen angle is to steep
I've had great success with 1/4" O-flutes in aluminum. But I spiral those in
pretty much exclusively and use HSM style tool paths where the tool never sees
more than about 20-30% engagement. (While I've broken lots of 1/4" O-flues,
I've never noticed the tip breaking.)

P.
Spiraling in, even without a predrilled hole there is much easier on the
spindle and tool than a straight line ramp, because like Andy said you are only
loading one side of the cutting tool and not cutting the full tool width. A
full tool width cut is much more limited as far as maximum depth
what is the material?
what is the endmill material?
how many flutes?
is it centre cutting tool or non-center cutting end mill?
I have always struggled on o-flute endmills and ramp or plunge (breaking
the tip :(

I use 3 degrees when I ramp even when spiral plunging.

Can you spiral down, making a hole slightly less than twice the tool
diameter, so that only one side of the tool is engaged?

Have some problem then mill enter material ramping down it wobble and
torque increase. Diameter is 12mm and ramp angle is 10 degree.
Anyone have any suggestion about this? Decrease ramp angle?
Decrease feed during ramping?
